Our ServicesThe Team
Guide Home Inspection is built on a simple belief: every client deserves a thorough inspection, a clear report, and an inspector who takes the time to explain what it all means.
Daniel
Founder & Lead Inspector
Daniel founded Guide Home Inspection with a clear purpose: to help buyers, sellers, and homeowners truly understand the properties they're investing in. After nearly two decades of calling Bend, Oregon home — having grown up on the Oregon coast and lived throughout the West — he found a community that matched his values and his lifestyle.
A lifelong student of building science, 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 and InterNACHI certification.
Outside of work, Daniel and his wife Amy stay active with climbing, hiking, and skiing alongside their son, Jackson — the kind of life that makes Bend worth protecting.
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.
Jake's approach to every inspection reflects his background: attentive, thorough, and always focused on making sure clients leave with answers, not more questions.
