    Andy Lohman

    Andy was born and raised in Iowa. From a very young age he was always hands on and interested in taking things apart to see how they worked. In high school and college, he worked as a roofer, did residential construction and worked on a farm which included building confinement buildings and hog houses. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from St. Ambrose University with a Bachelor of Arts in Business and minor in Economics. After college he moved to Arizona and worked as a residential claims adjuster for 15 years adjusting claims and writing estimates for residential homes. It included working with engineers, architects and contractors to write estimates for repair.

    This is where a lot of construction knowledge was put to good use and a lot of new information was learned for home inspecting. Upon leaving the insurance industry as a property claims adjuster, he was specializing in total loss claims, managing independent adjusters and utilizing experts as a claims specialist and licensed in all states except Alaska. Always having a dream of owning his own business and the love for real estate lead him to his passion of home inspecting. He was mentored by a successful inspector for a year and then began Desert Home Inspectors, LLC. He currently lives in North Phoenix with his wife Jan and cat Simba. When not inspecting homes, Andy enjoys repairing or renovating things around the house, working on cars, traveling, wakeboarding, snowboarding and watching his wife compete in triathlons.

    Dear Andy,
    I wanted to express my gratitude for all your assistance during the initial house inspection. You were very professional, fast, reliable and explained all your findings in detail and you were open for all of my questions.
    I was much more impressed with your professionalism and work ethic on the last-minute re-inspection request. You didn’t decline my request, you went the extra mile to help during this hectic time, and you
    did it with a big smile. Andy thank you for all your hard work and long hours under the sun. I sincerely appreciate all your professional help during this time making my life easier.

Andy is reasonably priced, very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about all the parts of a home. He will make great recommendations for fixes and point out things that are common and things that really need immediate attention. I felt very comfortable going forward with the purchase knowing that Andy did an awesome inspection and didn’t miss any issues! Thanks for a job well done, would definitely recommend them for anyone with a need!

    Testimonials

    I am a first time home buyer and Andy from Desert home inspectors was referred to me as a very good home inspectors by a close friend. As soon as I contacted him he looked at his calendar and gave me options for the days he can do the inspection. He also gave me a clear pricing ( which was very fair). He started early on the day of inspection and insisted that I was available at the end of the inspection - so that he could walk me through all critical things from his inspection report . He completed the inspection promptly on time and physically walked me through all his findings and highlighted the critical things. He was meticulous and thorough in his findings. It was a great help for someone like me who is buying an old house for the first time. Example of great professional work!
