Our Approach
Why We're Different
No ads in your report, no kickbacks, no second agenda. Just one builder-turned-inspector working for you.
An Inspection With No One Else's Hand in It
A lot of inspection reports these days double as advertising, embedded offers, partner promotions, a dashboard cluttered with services someone paid to put in front of you. Mine doesn't. Sooner Home Inspections is just me, John May, an InterNACHI Certified Master Inspector who spent years building homes before inspecting them. When you read your report, the only thing competing for your attention is the condition of the house you're about to buy.

What That Looks Like in Practice
“Independent” is an easy word to put on a website. Here's what it actually means when I inspect your home.
A Builder Behind the Clipboard
Eighteen years and a hundred-plus houses framed, plumbed and wired before I ever picked up an inspection clipboard. I've fixed these problems, so I recognize them.
Nothing to Sell You but the Truth
I don't do repairs and I don't take referral fees. There's no failing system I quietly profit from flagging, and no contractor I'm steering you toward.
Your Report Stays Yours
No ads stitched into the dashboard, no promotional emails afterward, and your information is never sold or handed off to a marketing partner.
You Get Me, Not a Queue
The person who crawled your attic is the person who answers when you call with a question, weeks later, whenever it comes up.
