Uncontrolled Air Flow
by Joe Konopacki

As a investment property owner and licensed inspector, Joe knows that decisions are only as good as the information they are based on. Insight Property Services, Inc. was started to provide advice to home and property owners, before spending significant time, money, and emotional energy on a building.
With 25 years of experience in construction, remodeling, maintenance, and management , he realized the limitations of traditional building practices. Multiple building science certifications later, the dedicated Insight team ensures that the comfort, efficiency, safety, and air quality of your home are taken into consideration when advising you.
