Founder & Lead Inspector
I’m Jared Hopton, founder of Historic Home Inspections. I firmly believe that historic homes deserve far more than a standard, routine inspection. Having been raised by a home inspector, I not only inherited extensive building knowledge but also developed a deep passion and appreciation for the charm and craftsmanship of old houses. Their unique character, rich history, and timeless design inspire me daily, and I’ve made it my personal mission to help others protect, preserve, and cherish these exceptional properties.
I go beyond a basic checklist. My approach combines modern inspection practices with a thoughtful understanding of the unique needs of historic homes. When I conduct an inspection, my primary goals are to:
Clearly and thoroughly explain the home’s current condition
Identify and provide guidance on preserving original historic features and details
Offer practical, informed advice to help you make confident, trusted decisions
Every historic home tells a rich and unique story, blending architecture with heritage. I am dedicated to helping you protect that story, ensuring your home remains both a treasured living space and a lasting piece of history.
