A Legacy of Service

Shawn's dedication to protecting others didn't end with his fire service career. That same commitment to safety, thoroughness, and service carries over into every home inspection he performs.

After nearly three decades of identifying structural hazards, mitigating risks, and keeping communities safe, Shawn founded Seven Sides Home Inspections to help homebuyers and sellers make confident, informed decisions about one of life's biggest investments.

Now based in New Smyrna Beach, Shawn brings that same fire service discipline to the Volusia County community — evaluating every side of your home with the precision and care it deserves.

The Seven Sides Approach

Seven Sides Home Inspections is based on evaluating all seven sides of a home. The concept comes from fire service training, where every side of a structure must be accounted for during a size-up. That same approach is applied to each inspection to ensure nothing is missed and clients get clear, reliable information.
