Get to know your inspector, Peter Ingram!

After time working in the construction industry and learning the ins and outs of homes, our founder, Peter Ingram, wanted to make a change due to an overwhelming desire to help people and offer solutions to problems that they are having with their home. To Peter and our team at Matter Home Inspections, nothing is more important than ensuring that your hard-earned money is going to the right place. 

When out examining a building Peter conducts a visual non-invasive inspection that follows the International Association of Home Inspectors Standard of Practice and is always sure to respect the best interests of both the buyers and sellers. Some of the services that we offer to the fantastic people of the Pinellas County area include: 

  • Buyer inspections
  • Pre-sale inspections
  • 4 point inspections
  • Wind mitigation inspections

The climate in Florida is different than many other places in the country, which is why it is important that you have a local like Peter complete all of these inspections to ensure that a property is in good shape to finalize the transaction process. 

Over his years of experience, Peter has seen some very interesting “home improvement projects” including cheap fixes to old electrical work. For example, extension cords running through cabinets and walls to power receptacles and other fixtures, even a radiator hose used in the place of a p-trap under a bathroom sink. Peter’s days are never dull, there is always something unique out there to be found.

When Peter inspects a property and sees issues like this, he doesn’t just mark it off as something that needs to be addressed and then walks away. He provides a solution and a route to take in order to fix the problem. In a world where many inspectors check boxes, Peter thinks outside the box in order to help those that trust him to get the job done. This has allowed him to establish a lengthy list of clients that trust him and a plethora of reviews from customers stating how appreciative they are of the work that Peter does.

All of that hard work doesn’t come without assistance. Over the years Peter has established a trustworthy team of professionals who he trusts to assist his clients once his inspection is over. His team includes Hartselle Insurance,  The Pulver Smith Elite Mortgage Team, Gulfview Plumbing, JD Smith Pest Control, Centerline Contruction, Pease Painting, and more.

When Peter is not inspecting homes, he can be found playing golf at East Bay Country Club, Mainlands Golf Course, or Bardmoor Golf Course. Also, Peter loves cooking! He enjoys preparing anything from gumbo to chicken parm to beef stroganoff. 

In a world where solutions are tricky to come by, Peter examines properties finds fixes, and gets the job done for his clients.
