Qualifications  
18+ years of building inspection experience!
Joe Funderburk is the owner of Alpha & 
Omega Home Inspections, LLC.  There are no employees or sub-contractors--you 
hire me and you get me. I'm a
Nationally Certified Master Home Inspector, 
International Code Council Certified Commercial Building and Residential 
Building Inspector, NC Licensed Home Inspector, SC Licensed Home Inspector, 
Certified Thermographer, Certified Mold Inspector, Certified Indoor Air 
Consultant, and a member of  the National Association of Certified Home 
Inspectors. I've totaled 
thousands of home and commercial building inspections and completed countless hours of training since 
my inspection 
business began in 2005, including NC required annual training. I wired and 
plumbed my own 2800 SF house. I 
inspected hundreds of homes and commercial buildings as a code inspector for the 
Town of Clover and the City of Rock Hill. Currently in addition to my private inspection business, I am a Building Inspector for 
Mecklenburg County, NC.
Experience 
As mentioned above,
I am currently a  Building Inspector III for 
Mecklenburg County, NC. Prior to that, I was a 
Commercial and Residential Building Inspector 
for the City of Rock Hill, SC. I was also previously the 
Building Official / Building Inspector for 
another SC municipality from 2010 to 2013. Previous 
careers include four years as an
 Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) 
Compliance Officer inspecting the 
construction industry in SC. OSHA ingrained in me a detective-like mindset, along with 
thoroughness, documentation and report writing skills that are the main assets I bring to the  inspection industry. While with OSHA, I inspected a major hydro-electric project being built by Duke 
Power Company, and they hired me. I spent the following eleven years 
in the electric utility industry with Duke Energy in managerial and scientific 
positions, including Safety Supervisor at nuclear, fossil, and hydro plants, 
where I was responsible for safety inspections at large-scale construction and 
maintenance projects in NC & SC. I began my own building inspection company 
in 2005. 
 
Education 
My 
formal educational background includes two university 
Bachelor degrees from Clemson University 
and Winthrop University.

Our Promise
Choosing the right home inspector can be 
difficult. Unlike most professionals, you probably will not get to meet me until 
after you hire me. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying 
qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and yes, different 
pricing. One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of 
work. Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual 
inspector's own effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new 
home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort. This I promise you. 
  
    
  
     
   
 
  
     
  Why Hire Me? 
• 18+ 
years of experience as a home inspector! 
Have performed thousands of home inspections since 2005.  
    Have performed many inspections on multi-million dollar 
homes of 10,000 SF or more. Previous clients include homeowners in distant 
states, professional athletes,  
    diplomats, and corporate executives. 
• Nationally 
certified by the International Code Council. 
 
• Licensed Building Official 
(the top rank of building code enforcement inspectors). 
• Experienced and licensed code 
enforcement inspector. Three years of government inspections of new and  
    remodel construction (residential and commercial) inspections 
for code compliance. 
• Licensed 
as a Home Inspector in NC and SC 
(Important if you live in SC since there are no stringent licensing 
    requirements 
in SC and no annual training requirements at all in SC). 
• Highly Educated (2 
university degrees) 
• Certified 
thermographer (use of an infrared camera--most inspectors don't have this 
tool). 
 
• Mold 
certified. Even if you don't want a formal mold inspection, I am trained 
to know  
    when you may have an issue and will bring it to your 
attention. 
• Certified 
Master Inspector by international inspector trade association. 
•  Never been sued! Never paid or settled a claim for negligence! 
(That's a good question to ask other inspectors!) 
• Top ranked by
Angie's List year after year. 
•  Completely comfortable performing phase inspections on all stages of a 
new construction home. 
•  Completely comfortable performing inspections on commercial buildings. 
•  Thorough, 
comprehensive, and quality inspections. 
I spend lots of time on each home. I never do more than 2 inspections a day.  
    Often times, I spend 4 hours or more on an average home. 
   
Many inspectors work on volume and do 4 homes a day at a low price per home, 
which means they may spend no more than 1.5 hours on your home! 
• If you hire MY company, you get
ME -- not an inexperienced employee or greenhorn franchise owner.  
    Most inspectors are no more than employees, working on 
commission, with no "skin in the game". 
• Quick 
turnaround — 
high quality reports 
delivered electronically, usually within 24 hours. 
    (Friday or Saturday inspections will be delivered no later 
than the following Monday morning.) 
• Fast 
response to requests for 
inspections. Within 2 business days 75% of the time! 
• Comprehensive, 
easy to understand reports 
with photographs and oftentimes video. 
• Termite 
inspections arranged for you at your request (available in most areas) 
• Certified 
drinking water quality tests available

• The 
best customer service you've ever had!
