(PUEBLO, CO)-"One thing I know for sure," says Casey Mendenhall, a new franchise owner with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®, the largest home inspection company in North America. "Don't skip your home inspection during this seller's market." The Pueblo resident is celebrating the February launch of his franchise and serves homebuyers, sellers and REALTORS® throughout Pueblo and Colorado Springs.
The 34-year-old Mendenhall's background makes him a perfect fit to be a franchise owner in the home inspection industry. He is a U.S. Army veteran who served as a Field Artillery Soldier, as well as a U.S. Army Sniper. According to VetFran, a program offered by the International Franchise Association, veterans account for 14 percent of franchisees in all industries nationwide. According to the IFA, owning a franchise requires leadership, tenacity and the ability to execute standard operating procedures and that's why veterans like Mendenhall excel at it.
After retiring, Mendenhall earned a bachelor's degree in Construction Management from Colorado State University Pueblo and helped manage both commercial and residential construction in Pueblo and Colorado Springs. "My previous career in construction will undoubtedly help because I am familiar with not only building materials and functionality, but I also understand structural aspects and can better identify defects or potential issues," Mendenhall said.
