History
Nook-n-Kranny Home Inspection was started by LaVaine J. Murphy. LaVaine, mechanical engineer, worked from 1998-2015 as a machine designer for Flex-o-Lators, which is a company owned by Leggett & Platt in Carthage, MO. Before becoming an engineer, LaVaine worked in the construction field building houses. After attending a Home Inspection Institute and passing the tests to be licensed he opened up this business. Working at both Flex-o-lators and Nook-n-Kranny for about 3 1/2 years, he ventured into full time home inspection work in the spring of 2015 and has never looked back! He loves working with real estate agents and future home owners helping their dreams come true!
Specialties
Our home inspections take between 2-3 hours depending on the size of the house. We will be inspecting your house from top to bottom. We are licensed in both Kansas and Missouri to do state certified Termite Inspections. Other tests we provide are Radon tests, which we do with a professional computerized monitor that runs over a 48 hour period and can be read immediately after the test is finished. Our machine can also detect if it has been tampered with or moved during the test so that the client will feel confident that the test is reflecting an accurate Radon gas reading. We are also certified to test for mold. We perform both air and surface mold tests.
