Your Home Inspector

Steve Stenros grew up as the son of a general building contractor. After serving his country in the U.S. Air Force, Steve worked 15 years in residential and commercial construction. He served 13 years concurrently as a law enforcement officer. In March of 2003, Steve put his knowledge of the building trades and report writing skills to use and founded First Choice Inspections.

Steve is a full-time CREIA home inspector (CA Real Estate Inspection Assoc.) and holds the MCI designation (Master CREIA Inspector). He is also an ICC Residential Combination Inspector (International Code Council), an ASHI Certified Inspector, and an InterNACHI Certified Master Inspector. These credentials place Steve in the top percentile of home inspectors in the entire State of California. Having personally inspected more than 3000 homes, he brings experience, professionalism, and integrity to each home inspection. He maintains continuing professional education to keep abreast of the ever-changing world of building codes, new technology and new construction methods.

Steve is also a Level 1 certified Infrared Thermographer. Using this advanced technology, he can detect areas of energy loss in a home or can diagnose and document moisture issues or electrical problems.

When you contact First Choice Inspections, you will always be able to speak directly with Steve, not some unpersonal call center or answering service. When calling to schedule your home inspection, please make Steve aware of any known issues or areas of concern with the home to be inspected, and he will be sure to pay special attention to those areas. His goal is to give you the very best home inspection possible. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
