Nearly 50 Veteran Owned Home Inspection Companies Added to Directory

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

We are proud to announce that in a very short period of time we have added nearly 50 home inspection companies owned by United States veterans, active duty military or service disabled veterans to our growing directory of veteran owned businesses.

While there are thousands of home inspectors throughout the United States who can offer you a great property inspection, the goal of the VeteranOwnedBusiness.com Directory is to help promote those home inspectors who are serving or have served in the United States military.

Currently we have two main home inspection categories: one under real estate related and the other under home and garden. Home inspector and property inspection sub-categories on VeteranOwnedBusiness.com include:

4 Point Home Inspection Service
Mold Inspection Services
Termite Inspection Services
Warranty Inspection Services
Radon Testing Services
Thermal Imaging and Leak Detection Inspections
Wind Mitigation Inspections

…as well as other sub-categories related to home inspection and property inspection services.

We’d like to thank and ackowledge Matt Hawley (Air Force Veteran) at Priority Home Inspections for his company’s continued support in helping promote VeteranOwnedBusiness.com to other home inspection and property inspection companies owned by veterans, active duty military and service disabled veterans throughout the United States.  Mr. Hawley’s postings to home inspector-releated forums alone brought in over a dozen home inspector listings on VeteranOwnedBusiness.com. ” Thank You, Priority Home Inspections!

If you are a veteran, service disabled veteran or active duty military and you own a home inspection or property inspection company, please be sure to visit VeteranOwnedBusiness.com to get your company’s free listing.
