Our Mission

Mission Statement: Horizon exists to make every inspection feel clear, calm, and empowering—so homeowners and buyers can move forward with confidence.

Unique Backgrounds, One Standard

We came together from roofing, contracting, finance, and big tech with one shared belief: great inspections blend hands-on building knowledge with modern tools and precise reporting. That mix lets us spot the small details, explain the big picture, and guide you through next steps without the overwhelm.

Zach GaNun

Licensed Home Inspector

Zach brings a level of detail and integrity that homeowners can count on. He explains every finding in everyday language so clients make confident, timely decisions without feeling overwhelmed.

Before inspections, Zach spent 5 years in roofing, building a sharp eye for construction quality, ventilation performance, and early signs of water intrusion.

Using tools like drone imaging and thermal diagnostics, he uncovers issues many inspectors overlook and pairs each note with repair-ready recommendations.

Portrait of Collin Rafter, inspection operator

Collin Rafter

Operator

Collin holds a Computer Science degree with a focus in software engineering and has spent the last ten years working in big tech, from Infrastructure IT to running and growing a Solutions Consulting business.

He’s also an experienced contracting lead. “For a lot longer than I’ve been receiving tech support calls from family and friends, I’ve been receiving home improvement calls haha. That’s because I spent 5 years as a crew lead and working apprentice to a general contractor and woodworker. I learned much of what makes a house work and how to identify when things don’t look right.”
