About

Hi, I’m Gary Smith, and I’ve dedicated my professional life to the building trades right here in Mississippi. My journey began not in an office, but with tools in my hand—first as a cabinet maker, then as a home builder and remodeler for over 43 years. I’ve been hands-on in every phase of construction, from laying the foundation to perfecting the final details.

This half-century of experience has given me a unique perspective. I don’t just see a house; I see its history, its systems, and its potential. My approach is practical and direct. I don’t just identify problems—I explain what they mean and provide straightforward advice you can act on.

Credentials and Leadership

Credibility is earned through experience and a commitment to the highest industry standards. I am proud to help uphold those standards for our state.

Beyond the Inspection

When I’m not on a job site, my curiosity extends to writing and understanding how technology is shaping our world, which I explore on my blog. As a lifelong Mississippian, I also enjoy following NASCAR and cheering on the #9 car.

I believe in continuous learning and clear communication. Whether you’re building, buying, or selling, you deserve a partner who will protect your interests with unmatched expertise.
