Welcome
Our Story
It all began in the small town of International Falls, Minnesota, where Dirk grew up learning the value of hard work and integrity from his father, a local grocery store owner of Hogies. Those early lessons laid the foundation for a lifetime of service, craftsmanship, and faith.
In the early 2000s, Dirk built homes, gaining hands-on experience reading blueprints, framing, concrete work, and roofing. He later spent several years working with a knife delivery company, all while God was quietly preparing the next chapter of his life.
In 2010, Dirk and his wife, Paulette, committed to the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University program—an experience that became a turning point for both their personal and professional lives. From that moment forward, they began walking intentionally in purpose together.
Paulette went on to start Grace Dinners, a ministry providing free meals to those in need, while encouraging Dirk to pursue further education. Dirk returned to school and graduated as an electrician in 2015, followed by advanced boiler training in 2016.
In 2018, Dirk completed the Penn Foster Home Inspection course and quickly began working as an inspector with EVS. He continued to expand his expertise by completing the Kaplan University Home Inspection program in 2019. In 2020, he earned his Radon Testing and Mitigation certification, and in 2021, he completed the ICA Home Inspector Master Course for the state of Florida.
These efforts led to the founding of D&P Home Inspection & Home Watch Services, along with the achievement of Certified Master Inspector® status—an honor earned through experience, education, and commitment to excellence.
Each year, we continue our education and training, striving to be one of the most honest, truthful, and dependable inspection companies in the industry. Giving back is also at the core of who we are. A portion of every inspection supports nonprofit organizations, allowing us to serve both our clients and our community.
Thank you for taking the time to read Dirk & Paulette’s journey.
May this story be an encouragement and a blessing to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Dirk & Paulette
