Don Lariviere
Founder and Professional Home Inspector
As a professional home inspector since 2004, Don Lariviere has performed over 20,000 home inspections—and that’s the level of experience you want to see when dealing with an investment as delicate and financially demanding as a home. Don originally went to school to train in the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades, but it wasn’t long before he discovered his true calling. Once Don started actively working on these systems in homes, he saw a real need for attentive home inspectors who could catch issues before they become expensive headaches for new homeowners. From there, Don went on to become certified as a home inspector and started his own company—a company dedicated to protecting every client who comes our way.
