Meet Your Inspector
Hi! I'm Nick Hudgins
Owner of Grunt Work, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, husband to https://www.chrissyhudgins.realtor/ , and father to 4 kids who have trained me to identify structural issues, trip hazards, and suspicious noises long before I became an inspector.
My mission now is simple: using attention to detail, discipline, and a little humor, to find issues, explain them clearly, educate, and help make your home a better and safer place to live.
Whether you are selling or buying a home or already own, let me help give you that peace of mind, a safer home, and maybe a laugh or two along the way- that's the Grunt Work guarantee.
Inspecting & educating
I've spent years doing home improvement projects on my home and others, and I love to share what I know. I’ll show you how everything works, how to maintain it, and how to save energy. The condition of your home can impact your health, so I make it a priority to check for anything that might affect your living environment.
Maintaining your home means taking simple, proactive steps to avoid bigger problems down the road.
