Our History

The Franchise

A-Pro Home Inspection Service Corp. was established in the New Orleans area in 1994 with a goal to serve the area’s need for affordable, professional home inspection services. Company founder Greg Mangiaracina, co-author of the book “How to Market and Operate a Home Inspection Business,” saw a pressing need in the Home Inspection Industry for a marketing system that better addressed the needs of real estate agents, vendors, and home-buyers frustrated by unexpected repair problems and costs in the home inspection process.

A-Pro’s idea was simple: deliver fast, detailed service that customers could rely on with confidence. This philosophy was echoed in the company’s unique warranty statement: “If We Don’t Report It…We Repair it.”™ From this idea rose concepts that revolutionized the home inspection industry, such as the “All-in-One”™ plan which guarantees no pre-existing conditions, free 90-day warranties, the most comprehensive and professional reports in the industry, 24-hour/7-day-a-week availability, and other services designed to save customers time, money and aggravation.

The company’s unique home inspection system proved hugely successful, and soon A-Pro was handling thousands of inspections annually, in addition to training and certifying hundreds of new home inspectors. Through referrals and marketing programs, the company’s client base grew. A-Pro, which includes a staff of engineers, public relations, marketing, and administration professionals, is now the largest residential inspection company in Greater New Orleans. Today, company growth has allowed A-Pro to offer franchise opportunities to people who want to join the burgeoning home inspection industry with a proven company

Southwest Missouri Office: In the Beginning

The local southwest Missouri office was established in 2006 as there was a need for excellent, certified, and insured home inspectors in this area. While there are a host of home inspectors in this area, few are certified and insured. Those that are certified and insured appear to lack the business fortitude and ethics needed.

While A-Pro may be new to this area, as a company A-Pro has been around since 1994. As you will see below, the franchise has been well established and our local owner has had many years in the construction industry as a roofer, general contractor, and remodeler of many homes.

Are we going to try and fool you by telling you that we know all the answers? Of course not! No one has ALL the answers. That’s the beauty of this franchise! If we have questions concerning a particular issue, we have a support base and a network of inspectors nationwide to help resolve almost any issue.
