Hello I am John Cranor and I would be honored to serve you! I am an experienced ASHI Certified Home Inspector as well as a Commonwealth of Virginia Certified Home Inspector.
As a third generation roofing and home improvement contractor my experience spans back more than 30 years. I became interested in Home Inspections in the mid 1990's and soon after began to shape my experience into a Professional Inspector.
In 1998, I established Cranor Home Inspections. Two years later, in July of 2000, I hired on with a multi-inspector company where I was an inspector for three years. In July 2003, I resumed Cranor Home Inspections. In October 2006, I made a decision to re-name my business to Cranor Inspection Services, LLC.
I am a member of the Central Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI)
I am a member and served as the 2008/09 President for the Virginia Association of Real Estate Inspectors (VAREI)
I maintained a Commonwealth of Virginia Contractor's License in Roofing, Home Improvements and Radon Mitigation up until 2005
I have been in the inspection business for 12 years (since 1998) but began working in the construction field more than 30 years ago.
My experience in roofing allows me to routinely hire out as a roof inspector and I have testified as an expert numerous times
