Wisconsin is one of the few states that requires a state-issued license to perform paid home inspections, along with national testing and 40 hours of continuing education to keep that license current. Greg Schultz holds that license, along with InterNACHI certification under its Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, and brings decades of hands-on experience to every property he walks through.

As a lifelong resident of Northeast Wisconsin, Greg has seen exactly how our winters, humidity swings, and temperature extremes wear down roofs, foundations, and mechanical systems. That local knowledge shapes every residential home inspection he performs, whether it's a century-old farmhouse near Shawano or a newer build in Appleton. A home inspection protects the biggest purchase most people ever make, and Greg brings that same care to properties across Abrams, WI and the surrounding region.

Every inspection is conducted the way Greg would want his own family's home inspected: methodically, honestly, and without shortcuts. Learn more about his background and credentials on the About Us page.

Home Inspection Services Built Around Your Timeline

Buying, selling, or simply maintaining a home each call for a different kind of inspection. SafeGuard Home Inspection offers four core services designed to give you the information you need, when you need it.

Every report comes with clear photos, plain-language explanations, and findings you can actually use, whether you're negotiating a purchase or planning next year's maintenance budget.

  1. Buyer's Inspection

    A detailed buyer's home inspection covering the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, so you know exactly what you're purchasing before closing.

  2. Pre-Listing Inspection

    A pre-listing home inspection gives sellers the chance to address issues early, set realistic expectations, and avoid surprises during the buyer's inspection.

  3. Maintenance Inspection

    An annual or periodic home maintenance inspection catches small problems, like early moisture intrusion or aging roofing, before they turn into expensive repairs.

  4. Energy Audits

    A home energy audit identifies where a house is losing heat or wasting energy, helping homeowners lower utility bills and improve comfort year-round.

Common Questions

Common Questions About Hiring a Home Inspector

Buying or selling a home in Wisconsin comes with plenty of decisions. Here are answers to the questions homeowners ask most often before scheduling an inspection.

Do I need a home inspection before buying a house?

Yes. A pre-purchase home inspection is one of the best ways to avoid costly surprises after closing. It gives you a full picture of the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC condition before you're locked into the sale.

What does a seller's inspection accomplish?

A seller's home inspection, also called a pre-sale home inspection, identifies issues before your home hits the market. Addressing them ahead of time can prevent renegotiations and delays once a buyer's inspection turns up the same problems later.

Is a home inspector required to be licensed in Wisconsin?

Yes. Wisconsin is one of a small number of states that requires a state-issued license, national testing, and ongoing education for anyone conducting paid home inspections. Always confirm your inspector holds a current license before hiring.

How often should a homeowner schedule a maintenance inspection?

Many homeowners schedule a preventive maintenance inspection every year or two, especially in Northeast Wisconsin where freeze-thaw cycles and humidity can wear down roofing, siding, and foundations faster than expected. Catching issues early is almost always less expensive than repairing them after the fact.
