About Grey Dog Inspections
Meet Your Inspector, Nate Williams
InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) Nate Williams is the founder of Grey Dog Home Inspections, LLC. In 2017, Nate retired after 23 years of service in federal law enforcement. His experiences taught him the importance of integrity, attention to detail, and thoroughness, and the services that Nate now offers as an inspector reflect those ideals. A career in home inspection was the perfect next step for Nate, who already had a thorough understanding of both the real estate and construction businesses. He has a good sense of what home buyers, sellers, owners, and builders need, and he works hard to offer each customer peace of mind and confidence. In his spare time he enjoys spending time with his family and friends, especially at the lake.
Training and Experience
Nate attended the InterNACHI school in Boulder, Colorado. Nate has conducted hundreds of home inspections in Northern and Central Virginia, and enjoys using his knowledge and skills to help his customers make informed decisions that will protect their home investments. Throughout his many years as a homeowner, Nate has completed the bulk of his home repair and renovation projects on his own. These projects include finishing two basements, a free-standing shed, a large deck with a hot tub, and countless maintenance and repair jobs across all of the home’s systems and components. He pays great attention to how components of the house work and what is required when they need repair or maintenance. In Virginia, licensed home inspectors and radon measurement providers must complete continuing education requirements, and Nate regularly surpases these requirements.

Meet the Original Grey Dog
Schultz was Nate’s loyal 12 year old rescue Weimaraner. No matter where Nate went, Schultz was always by his side. Loyalty and partnership are two important qualities which Nate firmly believes apply to his relationship with his clients. Because Schultz embodied those qualities, he was the inspiration for the name and logo of Grey Dog Home Inspections. Sadly Schultz passed in October, 2018.
The Grey Dog Legacy Continued
After a year of recovery with no grey dog, Nate and his family rescued Klaus. He is a 2 year old Weimaraner. Klaus is so much like Schultz that the inspiration and values of the Grey Dog live on. Klaus is always eager to ride along, you may even spot him during one of your services! His favorite thing to do is go to pick up radons with his dad!
