"From restored historic homes off Main Street to luxury new construction in Westhaven and Berry Farms — John Steele and Qualitas Home Inspections bring 20 years, 5,000+ inspections, and honest, plain-language reporting to every Franklin home."
Franklin is the crown jewel of Williamson County — a beautifully preserved historic town just south of Nashville that consistently ranks among the best places to live in the country. Its walkable, National Register historic district is lined with restored Victorian and antebellum homes, while master-planned communities like Westhaven and Berry Farms and the corporate hub of Cool Springs have driven a wave of upscale new construction. From 19th-century homes off Main Street to luxury estates on rolling acreage and brand-new builds in the suburbs, Franklin offers a remarkable range of housing. Qualitas Home Inspections — family-owned by John Steele, a Tennessee Licensed Home Inspector (#753) with 20 years and 5,000+ inspections — inspects homes throughout Franklin and all of Williamson County.
Franklin's housing runs the full spectrum, and each end carries its own concerns. The town's historic and older homes can hide outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, aging plumbing, foundation settlement, and decades of layered-on additions and repairs that need an experienced eye to sort out. On the other end, Franklin's rapid luxury new construction can bring installation shortcuts, incomplete work, and grading and drainage issues on freshly built lots. Across all of it, Middle Tennessee's crawl-space construction, clay soils, humid summers, and elevated-radon potential are constants worth checking on any Franklin property.
That's why Franklin homeowners and buyers choose Qualitas. John brings a builder's background and 5,000+ inspections to every home, tests for radon right alongside your inspection, and delivers a clear, photo-supported report — typically the next day. He personally walks the home with you, explains findings calmly and in plain language, and offers honest advice about repairs, never scare tactics. Call or text John and Charla at 615-707-0861 to schedule your Franklin inspection.
