Years in Upper Arlington
Our Story
I'm Michael — an Ohio State graduate, Army veteran, husband, and father of three. I've called Upper Arlington home for 25 years, so when I inspect a house in central Ohio, I'm inspecting my neighbors' homes. That matters to me.
Before founding SafeHome Diagnostics in 2023, I spent 30 years in real estate investment and home remodeling. I've bought, renovated, and sold properties across central Ohio — which means I've seen firsthand what goes wrong inside homes and exactly what it costs when problems go undetected at closing.
That experience is what separates a SafeHome inspection from the rest. I'm not just checking boxes against a standard list — I know what deferred maintenance looks like, how contractors cut corners, and where the expensive surprises hide. My clients get the benefit of three decades of hands-on real estate knowledge, not just a license.
My military background reinforced a standard of thoroughness I bring to every inspection. When you book with SafeHome Diagnostics, you know exactly who's showing up — and you know they've seen it all before.
What We Stand For
These aren't marketing words. They're the principles that guide every inspection we perform.
We report what we find — every time. Our inspectors have no financial interest in repairs, so you get an honest, unbiased assessment.
Home systems evolve. We invest in ongoing training and certification to stay current with the latest standards and technology.
We take time to walk you through every finding in plain language. You should leave your inspection feeling informed, not overwhelmed.
We live and work in central Ohio. Protecting families in our community isn't just a job — it's a responsibility we take seriously.
Credentials
Our inspectors hold the certifications that matter most — and we maintain them through ongoing education every year.
