Code Certified, ASHI Certified, and Licensed home and building
inspections covering the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and
northeast Wisconsin. Areas include, but not necessarily limited to
Dickinson and Iron Counties (including the cities of Iron Mountain,
Crystal Falls, Iron River, Republic, Norway and surrounding areas),
and also Wisconsin’s Florence and Marinette Counties (including the
towns of Florence, Niagara, and Aurora).
ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors, www.ashi.org) is the
only association for home inspectors accredited by the National
Commision for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). Everyone says they're
"certified", "super certified", "super duper certified", or whatever.
ASHI is the only home inspection organization that has true third-
party certification. This allows inspectors who have satisfied the
stringent requirements to use the ACI acronym after their name.
Owner/Upper Peninsula Home Inspector – Joe Arcaro, ACI
Providing quality, in-depth expert evaluation on the structural,
mechanical, and electrical components of houses and buildings
since 1997. Houses have many systems and components and it
takes an experienced, knowledgeable inspector to skillfully identify
problems that are not readily apparent.
My home inspections are thorough, and my reports are
comprehensive. Armed with my home inspection report,
homebuyers and other clients have a firm understanding of the
condition of the house. With this knowledge of the true condition of
the house, buyers will be better able to make a sound purchasing
decision, and be in the driver's seat to renegotiate a new price, or
request certain repairs be made prior to close of escrow.

Formal Education: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Technology; Associate of Applied Science (minor) in Metallurgy. Not
to brag but these are solid credentials - many of the other
'certifications' out there...well let's just say not so much. See for
yourself how easy it is to get them - you could probably be
'certified' in an hour as long as you send them the money.
The International Code Council is the organization that develops
and maintains the building codes that Michigan and Wisconsin use.
ICC Certification attests to competent knowledge of the building
codes and standards.
My yearly continuing education requirements include courses on
building, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing codes; building
science; ventilation design and installation; and other building
related topics. These are designed to meet continuing education
needs for residential contractors, plumbing, electrical, and
mechanical administrators, home inspectors, architects, and
education for general crew training. Courses are nationally
recognized and are approved for licensure and certifications.

“ Inspection Excellence ”
No Conflict of Interest
I do not work for, seek, nor rely on
realtor® referrals. I strongly
suggest leaving realty agents
completely out of the equation
when selecting a home inspector.
Also, I do not perform corrective or
repair work on houses that I
inspect, nor do I flip houses and try
to sell them to you. I am unbiased,
on the up-and-up, and fair. Unlike
everyone else in a property
transaction, I don't care if you buy
the house or not. I just care about
getting paid for the inspection.
MY PLEDGE TO YOU - Choosing the
right home inspector is important.
Inspectors have varying experience,
qualifications, equipment, ethics,
and motives. How do you know for
sure if you hired someone you can
count on to do their very best? Well,
by privileging me to do your
inspection, you can be rest assured
that you hired a knowledgeable,
experienced, hard-working
inspector who is looking after your
best interest. A thorough, properly
performed home inspection takes
experience, knowledge, and plenty
of hard work. My promise to you is
that I will give your inspection my
very best effort with your
satisfaction as my primary goal.
What I don't do is offer gimmicky
things like 'warranties', and I don't
leave coupons at realty offices. I
don't provide discounts for seniors
or veterans. Everyone gets the
lowest possible fee that I am willing
to do my inspections for. What I
will offer though is this...If you are
not satisfied with your inspection, I
will give you your fee back. That's
as straight up as it gets.
Backed by over 20 years experience,
and over 1700 inspections (and
counting) performed by me (not a
franchise), you can trust HouseTek
Inspection Services. I think my
expertise and competitive rates
make me the #1 choice for
inspecting your house or small
commercial building.
