Michael
Wicklund is the owner and operator of STERLING Home
Inspection Services. Michael began his career in the
construction field. He is a third generation carpenter
following in his father and grandfather's footsteps.
As a self-employed remolding contractor his focus was
on kitchen and bath remodels. With experience in these
areas he was continually called upon to bid jobs related
to real estate transactions. This work is commonly referred
to as real estate work orders, i.e. any item generated
from a home inspection or pest inspection.
After seventeen years of remodeling and repairs from
other inspector's reports, and feeling the need for
a career change the natural path was for him to become
a home inspector himself. With his past construction
experience he decided to attend home inspection school,
he chose Inspection Training Associates ITA because
of their high quality of training in the inspection
industry. There he received certification allowing him
to become a well-rounded home inspector. In addition,
he acquired the necessary licensing from the Washington
State Department of Agriculture, which allows him to
perform structural pest inspections (W.D.O. inspections).
Education is a high priority to Michael; he frequently
attends continuing education classes, so he can stay
up to date on the most current building practices.
Michael finds great satisfaction as a full time home
inspector educating perspective homebuyers. |
