Jan Ode

Critical Eye is a full service inspection, auditing and weatherization company.  I have been in the construction business since 1978. For twelve years I was a partner in Central City Builders in Austin, Texas and have been a licensed professional home inspector since 1995.  I also teach weatherization for the State of Texas, New Mexico, Kentucky, and Georgia.

I look at a home as a system.  Just as the heating and air conditioning,plumbing, ventilation are parts of the system so are the individuals who live in the home.  All the systems must work together in order for the home to sustain a healthy, clean, and comfortable environment.

Having a home inspection along with an energy audit not only gives you peace of mind that your purchase is every thing you thought it would be, but also shows you steps to make the home more energy efficient, saving you money every month on utility bills.

Critical Eye can customize the energy audit from a basic walk thru to a thorough audit using blower doors, duct  blower, CO monitor, IR cameras etc.

You will receive computerized findings and a bid/proposal on all work that needs to be done.  You will be able to give these to contractors to get bids.  You will also be able to contact me and use my years of expertise to go over the bids.

Jan was professional and personable. He went the extra mile to explain in detail the nuances of each system he inspected. He was thorough and took the time to re-inspect areas which were less accessable due to a heavy rainstorm. I could not give a higher recommendation to Jan and his expertise. Sincerely , Abbe Jane O'Rourke

Jan Ode was very thorough. He was willing to stop his inspection to answer any questions that I had. He also took time at the end of the inspection to explain everything that he found and allowed me time to ask more questions. I would definately recommend him for another home inspection.
