My name is Steven Dehlinger, I am a CREIA "Master" Certified Inspector #99, Member of The California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA), my industry training and affiliations are listed below.  I am very involved in "CREIA" , and seldom if ever miss a local education meeting or conference.  

I have 30+ years of hands on Construction, Building, Maintenance, and Installation experience beginning in 1972 as Facilities and Maintenance Manager in my Dad's electronics manufacturing factory.  I was eventually responsible for all building repairs, plumbing, electrical, additions, and improvements, as well as equipment maintenance & installation.  Later, I  managed a couple of owner-builder projects before becoming a General Contractor and Property Inspector.  My Construction Company (American Real Estate Services) only does Crown Moulding, Window Casings, Base Boards etc. these days. (Actually my Brother and Sister In Law do most of the work)  I also do Reserve Study Inspections, Clean Dryer Vents, www.DryerVentDoc.com and I do private consulting in association with the inspection industry.. I do not do any repair work for a fee on properties that I have inspected.

Beware...The State of California does not formally recognize any "Certified Home Inspector" training programs, or associations. (And there are plenty!!)  My "Certifications" are from nationally recognized associations with over 1000 active members each.  CREIA was one of the first recognized Inspection Association, founded in 1976.. The California State Legislature is currently considering several bills that could set down stringent and specific guidelines for the use of the term "Certified" as it relates to Home Inspectors.  The bills are being watered down by special interest groups that would like nothing more than continue the endless parade of lower priced, so-called  "Certified Home Inspectors".  All California home-buyers would be wise to call or fax their State Senator and/or Assembly Representative to demand that a fair and enforceable bill be enacted with the most stringent requirements possible to protect the general public from being confused regarding the credentials, qualifications, and training of "Certified Home Inspectors".  (Sorry; I'll get off my soap box)
