An Inquisitive Mind and a Passion for People

OWNER & HOME INSPECTOR

Ralph Hassard

As a kid, Ralph was always building something – or taking something apart. He remembers approaching the television set his mom was watching, toolkit in hand, with every intention of dismantling the TV to get a glimpse of its inner workings. His mother was not too pleased, but that innate curiosity has served him well in his construction career.

As a teenager, Ralph spent summers framing houses in New Jersey. He went on to build custom cabinetry and renovate brownstones in NYC as a general contractor. Realizing that he enjoyed working with people as much as with his hands, Ralph formed a construction consulting firm in 2010, which later became Criterion Home Inspections.

Today, solving the complex problems of a building system and its components is something Ralph truly enjoys. Sharing his knowledge to give customers peace of mind is especially rewarding.
