Want to grow your home inspection business beyond the truck and ladder? In this episode of Inspection Empire Builder, we sit down with JT from Central Florida Building Inspectors—one of the largest inspection companies in Florida—to unpack how he went from in-the-field solo to a true mini-empire.

If you’re an inspector who wants more freedom, more impact, and a business that serves your life (not the other way around), this one’s for you.


What You’ll Learn / Episode Highlights

  • How JT scaled from solo inspector to 20+ home inspectors plus a growing mold division and commercial arm

  • The hidden power of in-person events and hallway conversations at IEB (and why Zoom can’t replace them)

  • Why work–life balance, boundaries, and saying “no” are non-negotiable if you want a business that doesn’t burn you out

  • JT’s stewardship mindset: treating your business, body, and time like gifts you’re responsible for

  • Practical ways he protects his health and energy (sleep, functional medicine, bloodwork, biohacking tools, and more)

  • The real challenges of hiring and staffing: why he’d rather stay understaffed than hire the wrong inspector

  • When to add a growth/marketing team, what those roles look like, and how they collaborate instead of compete

  • How and why he built a separate mold company (and why it’s approaching 7 figures while actually helping people feel better in their homes)

  • A preview of JT’s IEB Unite talk in Orlando and what he’ll be teaching about parallel service businesses
