Your Friendly Neighborhood Home Inspector
Kal Cotter, Certified Master Inspector®

Experience Matters...
Hello, I'm Kal Cotter owner of Central Home Solutions LLC, a Certified Master Inspector,® owner of multiple rental units in Central Michigan and also owner of Central Home Restorations, my company that purchases and renovates homes around Central Michigan. In other words, when I'm not inspecting homes, I'm generally building, maintaining, and renovating them.
Many Home Inspectors nowadays have simply taken an online course to become certified, and they're off and running.
​
I believe it’s vitally important for a Home Inspector to have real-world home building experience, because inspecting a home isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about truly understanding how a house is put together and how systems behave over time. As someone with over 25 years of experience building and renovating homes (many 100+ yrs old), I have firsthand knowledge of framing, foundations, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and the countless details that don’t always appear in textbooks or online courses. I personally live in a home built in 1894 that I converted from a 4-plex to a single family home for my family. This practical experience allows me to recognize subtle warning signs, understand why a problem exists, and anticipate future issues, not just identify surface-level defects.
While online certifications can teach terminology and basic standards, real-world building experience provides the judgment, context, and problem-solving skills that are critical to giving my clients an accurate, trustworthy assessment of a home’s true condition.
​
With that in mind, defiantly do your due diligence while looking for an inspector! And, it may be a good idea to ask them how much experience they have actually building homes.
​
Thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to serving you!
God Bless.
