Home inspection, Mold Testing & Remediation, Radon Detection & Reduction

About us

There are no employees or sub-contractors--you hire me and you get me. I'm a Nationally Certified Master Inspector, Licensed Building Official, International Code Council (ICC) certified residential inspector and Building Official, NC Licensed Home Inspector, SC Licensed Home Inspector, Certified Thermographer, Certified Mold Inspector, Certified Indoor Air Consultant, member of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors. I've totaled thousands of inspections and completed countless hours of training since the business began in 2005, including NC required annual training. I have two university bachelor degrees. I inspected hundreds of homes and commercial buildings as a code inspector (Building Official) for three years during the Great Recession (the builders were excited to see me resign that position). Previous careers include four years as an Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Compliance Officer inspecting the construction industry in SC. OSHA ingrained in me a detective-like mindset, along with thoroughness, documentation and report writing skills that are the main assets I bring to the home inspection industry. While with OSHA, I inspected a major hydro-electric project being built by Duke Power Company, and they hired me. I spent the following eleven years in the electric utility industry with Duke Energy in managerial and scientific positions, including Safety Supervisor at nuclear, fossil, and hydro plants. See my website for more details and sample reports.

I am a local real estate agent and have used Alpha & Omega Home Inspections for years professionally and more recently for our personal home which we just renovated. Joe Funderburk (Inspector) did the pre dry wall inspection as well as the final inspection and did a great and very thorough job. Trust him very much. Very much endorse their services to others in need of home inspections.

Alpha & Omega Home Inspections LLC provided us with a very detailed home inspection that gave us all of the information that we were looking for and more. Joe went over his findings after his inspection and answered any questions that we had. We are very pleased with the service, and we would hire him again!

Joe was extremely thorough. Despite it being a brand new house, he found a lot of issues, many of which you wouldn't even think about. He went above and beyond to help me understand why things were not right. I will be recommending him to my friends.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I appreciate your business very much! For the reader, when it comes to punctuality, it is true that I did not arrive at the time previously scheduled for this inspection. However I informed my customer of the delay and kept him informed my new arrival time and my expected completion time so he could arrive on site for an on-site inspection summary.

It went very well. Joe was flexible in his scheduling and arrived a little early to begin the inspection. He was very systematic and thorough in his inspection and informed me of specific issues ahead of time. Joe provided a summary and full report, both of which were complete and helpful.

We have worked with Joe on multiple occasions, us completing our termite inspections while he completes his home inspection. He is always in a great mood and seems to truly care about his clients and making sure the home they are buying is their dream home and not a nightmare in disguise. I wouldn't call anyone else!! Joe with A&O is the way to go!!

Joe from Alpha and Omega home inspectors was absolutely fantastic! He reviewed two properties for me and was extremely thorough. He explained things so that I could clearly understand the issues that needed to be fixed, provided an extremely detailed report and was extremely pleasant to work with. This was my first time buying a home and after the first home inspection, due to the issues identified by Joe, I declined to continue with the purchase of the home (which I am extremely thankful for as there were a lot of major concerns). He then inspected the home that am about to close on and made me feel so comfortable and confident going into this purchase. Joe is friendly, very detailed and has the home buyers best interest at heart. I highly recommend Joe for your home inspection needs! Thanks Joe!

Joe did an amazing job in inspecting our home. He was very thorough and meticulous in his review and sent really clear and helpful reports in a very timely way. I couldn't have asked for a better engagement here and now have peace of mind that he got under the surface to find improvements needed before we move in to the home.

I would recommend hiring Joe to anyone looking to purchase real estate property. Joe is a knowledgeable professional with an extensive resume. His reports are timely, detailed, and help prospective buyers make informed decisions prior to purchasing property. My husband hired another inspector to inspect our home prior to purchasing the property. He came to our home on two occasions but failed to identify serious problems with our home, screened in porch, and upstairs deck. About three months after we purchased the home we noticed that two of the windows in our sunroom were broken and saw signs of water intrusion on the ceiling of our screened in porch and the ceiling of the dinette area in our kitchen. The seller did not disclose any previous issues with our home. I found myself in need of a knowledgeable inspector to let me know what I was dealing with. I looked on Angie's List and found Joe. I hired him because his resume was impressive and he had more reviews than any other inspector. Joe found multiple major issues that the pre purchase home inspector missed. Joe told my husband and I not to walk on our upstairs deck. If Joe did not tell me that it was dangerous to walk on my deck, my husband and I could have been seriously injured. If I had hired Joe from the start, I never would have purchased my home. Joe contacted me several times after he inspected my home and offered to help me in anyway that he could. I am so grateful that he took the time. I will be hiring Joe to assist me with all future real estate purchases.

Joe is the best, he saved me from buying a house with a major defect that sellers didn’t want to fix the correct way in order to save money. He is very thorough, he doesn’t miss a thing! I will highly recommend Joe, I will hire Joe again eyes closed! When I consulted with a Structual engineer following realtor’s advice the engineer asked who was the inspector, when I told him it was Joe the engineer said if Joe said something in the house is wrong “you can bank on it”

Joe was very professional from the time I called to get a quote to the email I received with my inspection report. Joe gave me several options to schedule the inspection and I was able to get all three inspections done with his company. He is VERY thorough and I felt like I had a very good idea of the issues with the home I was looking to purchase. I would definetly hire him for my inspections needs.

Joe provided us with excellent service and his inspection on a potential home we were going to buy revealed numerous issues. His services were extremely professional and I can’t thank him enough. The report went above and beyond of what I expected and you can tell he knows exactly what to look for from the inspection report. He provides the customer with a way of creating repairs lists from the report itself so we didn’t have to spend the rest of our lives copying and pasting into a word document. Thanks for the incredible service. We will definitely use again.

My experience working with Joe was great. His communications were clear, he was punctual, the inspection and report were thorough, he was knowledgeable about all the house systems, and to top it off he was very nice. My property had been un-lived in for many years and he accounted for this in his inspection. I really appreciate the pictures he took with his FLIR camera and the details included in the report about how things could be updated to bring them up to current standards.

We hired Alpha & Omega Home Inspections LLC to perform a home inspection prior to finalizing the build of our new home. Joe was extremely responsive and able to perform the inspection within a few days of our initial call. He had great attention to detail and the patience to walk us through items in his report. Joe was also easily available for follow up questions. I would recommend Alpha & Omega Home Inspections LLC to others.

Built a house through a builder and needed a home inspection. I went back and forth since it was a new home, but relented and called to see if Joe was available. Fortunately he was available and was able to come out and do his thing. Ultimately he verified quite a few things I already knew, but also found a handful of things that would end up causing issues in the long-run. I was able to get that punchlist to my builder, and hopefully they'll be able to address all of it before we close. I can't recommend him enough! Thanks Joe!

Joe Furderburk is a true professional in this industry. He is very thorough, methodical and knowledgeable. He conducted the open floor, pre-drywall, insulation, radon, and final inspections in a new construction home and his work was fundamental in keeping the builder honest and delivering a quality product. His prices are competitive and his reports are clear and comprehensive. I highly recommend Alpha and Omega Home inspection for your Charlotte Metro area home investment process.

Thank you for taking the time to do this review. For the readers, ALWAYS have a new home inspected. This was a national name builder and the roof pitch was such that it was going to hold snow and ice and probably leak (after the warranty was up of course). Other defects included other roofing problems, inadequate number of gutter downspouts, damaged roof trusses, excessive water pressure, loose junction boxes and wiring in the attic, and half the required insulation in places in the attic.

Very pleasant experience. Joe was extremely professional, polite, and courteous. He kept me informed of his schedule and let me know when he would be at my property for the inspection. He was very thorough with his inspection and allowed me to tag along while he explained things that needed to be addressed. The after report and summary were succinct and very detailed with plenty of color pictures and videos. The thermal imaging photos were extremely helpful in identifying insulation that was missing in the attic. Joe did my inspection in the evening prior to my walk-through the next morning, so I urgently needed the report before then. By 12 AM the report was in my inbox ready to share with the builder. He's very accommodating and understanding of the needs of his customers. All in all, Joe did a fine job and I'd hire him again as well as recommend him.

Thank you very much. Regarding price, for the readers, the home was very large and expensive. The inspection price included a radon test and termite inspection. I found decay behind the stone veneer wall of the home at the exterior. The stone had to be removed to repair the wall so I'd say it was well worth it.

Joe was a real asset to us. He gave us an honest and thorough inspection throughout our new construction. He is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. Joe went above and beyond the duty and answered all the additional questions that arose even after the inspection was complete. He took the time to educate us on some of the issues that needed correction. I would recommend Joe to all my friends and family and will definitely call him again if needed in the future.
