Shawn Blaney has over 25 years experience in construction here in Southern California and is a member of CREIA, the leading authority in the building inspection industry in California. CREIA requires obtaining initial training, passing a rigorous exam, and mandatory adherence to professional standards of practice and participation in continuing education.

Shawn is a general contractor with several sub-contracting licenses. The first license, a C-43 Sheet Metal license, is especially important due to California's yearly unpredictable storms. It qualifies Shawn to work with metal roofs, gutters, and downspouts, as well as all other types of roofing related flashings. The sheet metal aids in the waterproofing of these systems as well as for balconies and decks, all which can be the source of water leaks.

The second license Shawn holds is a structural steel license (C51), which involves the basic framework of construction and the way in which buildings are put together so that they last. In conjunction with this, he is licensed to work with and fabricate ornamental iron which is used for handrails, guardrails, and stairwells. All provide Shawn with the keen observation and experience needed to inspect building safety.

Lastly, Shawn holds a Los Angeles approved fabricators license (#1613) that is recognized nationwide. This license deals with the fabrication of an assortment of items from re-bar to welding of structural steel for large buildings. Shawn's extensive experience in the field of construction, as well as his continued commitment to ongoing education, have enabled him with the knowledge and thorough observational and investigative skills needed to find defects in your home or commercial building.
