## Story

In a recent segment with WTSP-TV, the CBS affiliate in Tampa Bay, Jeff Ackerman, a co-owner of HomeTeam Inspection Services, provided insight on some of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when attempting do-it-yourself projects in their homes. HomeTeam Inspection Services is a full-service, independent home inspection franchise serving home buyers, sellers and real estate agents. Unlike other home inspection services, HomeTeam sends a team of certified inspectors to every appointment in order to provide a better and faster inspection, every single time.

Ackerman provides insight on the number one priority homeowners should have when considering DIY projects — safety. He discusses how homeowners should take special care when it comes to an electrical panel and other tips on how they can stay safe and complete projects without impacting the value of their home.

HomeTeam Inspection Services has built a reputation for providing professional, reliable, efficient and accurate inspections on both residential and commercial properties, focusing on electric and plumbing systems, HVAC, exterior and siding, gutters and draining, radon inspections, mold inspections, air quality reports and much more. The brand saw an impressive 14 percent growth in revenue last year, adding to the franchise’s 20 percent growth in 2020 and continuing HomeTeam’s impressive record for year-over-year growth.
