Your ReportThe Team
Guide Home Inspection was built on a simple belief: every client deserves a thorough inspection, a clear report, and an inspector who takes time to explain what it all means. As former climbing partners, Jake and Daniel learned firsthand that trust and attention to detail truly matter. That's the mindset they bring to every job. When you contact Guide, you're speaking directly with your inspector — not a call center, not an automated system, and not a receptionist routing your call. Jake or Daniel will answer your questions, schedule your inspection, and show up to do the work; The person you talk to on day one is the same person walking your roof on inspection day.
Daniel
Founder & Lead Inspector, CMI - OCHI#2548
Daniel founded Guide Home Inspection with a clear purpose: to help buyers, sellers, and homeowners truly understand the properties they're investing in. After living throughout the West, he found his place in Bend — and has called it home for over twenty years.
Daniel brings genuine enthusiasm to every inspection. He has a particular appreciation for older homes and the stories they tell, and stays current with evolving construction technologies and practices through ongoing training.
Outside of work, Daniel and his wife Amy stay active with climbing, hiking, and skiing alongside their son, Jackson.
Jake
Co-Owner & Inspector
Jake brings a rare combination of field expertise and genuine people skills to Guide Home Inspection. After spending decades leading teams in outdoor retail management — an industry built entirely on trust, product knowledge, and customer relationships — he made a natural transition into home inspection, where those same qualities matter most.
An avid outdoorsman through and through, Jake is as comfortable fly fishing a stretch of the Deschutes as he is on skis in the mountains. He calls Sunriver home, where he and his wife Elisa are raising their daughters, Tallulah and Calla, with the same love of the outdoors and sense of community that defines life in Central Oregon.
