Inspector Certifications

INSPECTOR'S CERTIFICATIONS

If you are NOT comparing the education, background and training of your inspection provider - well then I wish you well. You should be reviewing the credentials of anyone you are considering receiving service from. Iowa is NOT a regulated state and you should be looking for the best qualified and experienced inspection provider.

Ask yourself, "why don't other inspectors list their training like you will see below?" Just who are you hiring? Are they competent in their building knowledge?

While the state of Iowa does not require home inspectors to be certified or licensed, I believe that it is my responsibility to provide my customers with the highest inspection service standards possible. Jon Bronemann Home Inspections, LLC, is certified by InterNACHI and is a member in good standing.

InterNACHI inspectors are governed by some of the highest requirements in the industry. Each inspector must undergo many hours of continuing education each year in order to maintain their certification. Each year I EXCEED the minimum requirements.

If your home inspector has not been trained by InterNACHI, well; they are just looking around.

Over 30 years of General Construction experience in actually building or managing residential and commercial projects ranging from small remodeling projects to $5 million commercial projects.

My construction business, Jon Bronemann Carpentry was the proud recipient of the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier BEST OF THE BEST Award 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015.

Ask me how I can put this experience to work for you if you are building a new home.

I am a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa Construction Management program with a Bachelor Degree in Construction. This program gave me the foundation for my professional construction career. I have over 30 years of experience as a remodeler, project manager, estimator, superintendent, electrical technician in commercial electrical and temperature control wiring, and construction materials sales.

I have completed the training and testing for the ICC Residential Building Inspector B1 Certification. This is the one of the same certifications that a local county or municipal building inspector would possess. Very few "home inspectors" have this nationally recognized certification.

The International Code Council (ICC) is a nonprofit association that provides a wide range of building safety solutions including product evaluation, accreditation, certification, codification and training. It develops model codes and standards used worldwide to construct safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient structures. While a residential home inspector does not enforce code nor conduct code inspections in my opinion it is always best to belong to organizations that provide education opportunities and improvement in the construction industry.

I am certified to perform an inspection of a residential property using infrared thermography technology; and identify and describe common problems that may be discovered with the use of infrared thermography.

Using this and other special tools when warranted give me additional capabilities that other inspectors don't have to help you evaluate the condition of the home and help you make informed decisions.

I am one of the only local IAC2 and Mold Inspectors Certified through InterNACHI inspectors in the area. I can provide air, surface and carpet sampling to detect the presence of mold in the home. Samples are tested and evaluated at one of the leading national laboratories, Pro-Lab in Weston, Florida. Results are usually the next business day after testing.
Let me help provide some peace of mind from this often hidden health factor of a home.

Landlords and property investors can rely on me to give my opinion on the condition of their property according to the standards that some municipalities may follow.

My experience and training has resulted in a Home Energy Inspector certification. This allows me to evaluate the structure as a whole and make recommendations to improve energy conservation and reduce energy costs.

I spend the extra time explaining how your house works. My contractor experience and years of excellent customer service will be evident when we finish your home inspection.

I have completed the Four Point Inspection training. This training certifies me in the areas of electrical Inspections, HVAC inspections, plumbing inspections and roof inspections. Many insurance companies may require that an inspection of a home be completed by a certified and trained individual.
