About Us

Ralph Hassard, founder of Criterion Home Inspections, is bringing over 30 years of hands-on experience and a sharp eye built from decades as a general contractor, cabinetmaker, and construction consultant. Ralph knows buildings inside and out, from the bones behind the walls to the finishing touches most people overlook. His inspections go beyond checklists—he delivers insight, clarity, and the kind of confidence only real experience can offer.

When he’s not digging into the details of a structure, you’ll find Ralph swimming in open water, giving new life to salvaged furniture, cooking up something great for friends, or hanging out with his two rescue cats, Noche and Pirate. He’s someone who cares deeply—about homes, about people, and about doing things right.

Ralph has inspected thousands of homes with the kind of insight that only comes from a lifetime in the building trades. His deep experience and sharp attention to detail make him the kind of inspector who spots what others miss—and explains it in a way that actually makes sense. You can expect straight answers, no fluff, and a clear path forward.
