Meet the Inspector

 Walter T Bernauer

My name is Walter T Bernauer, owner and operator of WTB. My experience as a home inspector is far-reaching, and gives my clients an advantage that others lack – my experience.

​

Inspecting is my passion. I have been groomed to be an inspector my entire life!

​

I am not your average home inspector who learned from a book – instead, it is ingrained in my blood. I am the son of an architect and builder. Long before AutoCAD, I spent hours sitting in front of a drafting table learning my father’s profession. I learned the dynamics of a construction site early on in life.

​

I framed houses and put myself through college. I have performed energy audits, have had training with a master electrician, and was co-owner of a successful renewable energy firm. Today I enjoy finish carpentry, and using my life-learned skills to perform home inspections as a Certified Professional Inspector.
