About Us

Welcome to Defender Home & Property Inspections

I am Jeff Hammons, the owner and chief Home Inspector for Defender Home & Property Inspections. I have been in Florida since 2007 and am State of Florida licensed (HI12747), insured for General Liability and Errors & Omissions to $1,000,000, possess membership in the Real Estate Associate of Sarasota and Manatee counties and the FGBC (Florida Green Building Coalition), am COVID-19 safety trained & certified and a member in good standing with InterNACHI the premiere International home and property inspection association.

My experience in the construction industry starts as a seven year-old boy tasked with “tarring the valleys” for a roofing job being completed by my father and grandfather in Pennsylvania. My father, grandfather and two uncles were carpenters, masons and roofers. To say the least, a priceless education was in store for me! During high school, I was a bricklayer’s apprentice which afforded me the opportunity to save for a college education. As an adult I worked with my father-in-law who was a General Contractor in Florida. My most recent project was designing, permitting, and building my three car garage completely on my own.
