to Trust Since 2015
Mike Benson
Mike Benson comes from a family of electricians. Growing up, Mike spent much of his time working in his family’s electrical business, learning all that he could about the trade.
During the 20+ years of working with his father, Mike obtained his electrical contractor’s license and became experienced in all facets of the construction business.
He eventually took over as company president, gaining invaluable knowledge of running a business that would prove to be integral to his future success.
In 2015, Mike’s family sold their business, and two years later, he left to become a home inspector. This move proved to be a great decision for Mike, who has found immense satisfaction in helping clients with what is often considered the largest financial decision of their lives. He takes great pride in his work, knowing that he is making a difference for people when it comes to protecting their investments. As an NC licensed home inspector, Mike brings professionalism, experience, and knowledge to every job that he completes.
Throughout his career, Mike has learned many lessons about the trades industry. He knows the importance of hard work and dedication first-hand, and these values motivate him to do his best on every inspection. With this experience guiding him forward into each new job or challenge, Mike continues to provide quality inspections services while delivering results that exceed expectations.
