Kellie MasonPaul was amazing and very helpful. He was very patient and explained any questions that I had.
Maybelline MartinezWe recently had a home inspection with Paul, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in every part of the process. Paul took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt confident in understanding the condition of our new home. His professionalism and friendly approach made what could have been a stressful step feel easy and reassuring. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy home inspector.

About Us
About Paul DiStefano
Founder, At Ease Home & Environmental Inspections, LLC
Though the company is newer to the market, the experience behind it is not.
Paul DiStefano, Owner and Licensed Home Inspector, brings a lifetime of hands-on construction knowledge and disciplined service to every inspection.
A former United States Marine, Paul carries forward the values instilled during his military service — integrity, attention to detail, accountability, and discipline. Those principles guide how he evaluates every property and how he serves every client.
Long before becoming a professional home inspector, Paul grew up immersed in construction. Working alongside his father on job sites from a young age, he developed a deep understanding of residential building practices. Over the years, he gained practical experience across multiple aspects of home improvement and structural systems.
Through those experiences, he witnessed firsthand how poorly constructed or improperly maintained homes can create serious long-term issues for unsuspecting buyers.
That realization led to the creation of At Ease Home & Environmental Inspections.
The mission is simple:
Protect homeowners by educating them.
A Hands-On, Client-Focused Approach
Paul strongly encourages clients to attend their inspection and walk through the property together.
He believes that the most valuable part of an inspection is not just the report — it’s the understanding gained during the process.
Clients are welcome to:
-
Ask questions throughout the inspection
-
Learn how systems operate
-
Understand maintenance priorities
-
Identify potential safety concerns
A knowledgeable homeowner is a confident homeowner.
Family-Owned. Service-Driven.
At Ease Home & Environmental Inspections is a family-owned and operated company built on trust, transparency, and personal accountability.
You are not hiring a franchise.
You are working directly with the owner.
Every inspection reflects personal pride in workmanship and a commitment to helping families make informed decisions.
Paul was outstanding to work with. He was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly throughout the inspection process. His attention to detail and professionalism provided tremendous peace of mind for my clients in the purchase of their new home. This was truly top-tier service, and as a realtor I highly recommend working with Paul to anyone in need of a home inspection.
