Built on
Experience.
Beau Brown is the founder and lead inspector at C&H Inspections. Before he ever walked through a home with a clipboard, he built motocross tracks, managed stage productions, cleaned up hazmat sites, earned an Aviation Science degree in Utah, flew as a flight instructor in California teaching police officers and firefighters to fly, and flew helicopter tours over an actively erupting volcano in Hawaii.
Every one of those experiences shaped how he inspects. The trades gave him the technical foundation. The hazmat work gave him an eye for what hides inside buildings. Aviation gave him the discipline to never skip a step.
"Every flight starts with a preflight inspection. Every single time, no matter how many times you have flown that aircraft. A home inspection is the same thing. You do not skip steps because you are in a hurry. You do not skip steps because the house looks fine. You follow the checklist because that is how you find the thing that would have cost you everything."
— Beau Brown, Founder and Lead Inspector
Pilots Don't Skip Steps.
Beau went to college in Utah, earned his Aviation Science degree, and earned his commercial, instrument, and flight instructor certificates before leaving the state. He then moved to California where he flew as a flight instructor, teaching police officers and firefighters how to fly helicopters. From there, he moved to Hawaii and flew tours over an actively erupting volcano. In aviation, the preflight inspection is not optional. It is not something you do when you feel like it. It is the thing that keeps people alive.
That same discipline is what he brought to home inspections. A checklist-driven, systematic approach where nothing gets skipped because the house looks nice or the client is in a hurry. The same way a pilot walks around the aircraft before every single flight, Beau walks through every home the same way every time.
Every Step Matters.
Motocross and the Trades
Beau grew up building things. He designed and built motocross tracks and got his hands dirty in the trades from an early age. That hands-on foundation never left him.
Stage Productions
He spent time in stage and event production, managing complex logistics and learning how systems come together under pressure. Attention to detail was not optional.
Hazmat Cleanup
Beau worked in hazardous materials cleanup, giving him direct experience with environmental contamination, chemical exposure, and the real-world consequences of what hides inside buildings.
Aviation Science Degree
Beau went to college in Utah, earned his Aviation Science degree, and learned to fly here. He earned his commercial, instrument, and flight instructor certificates before ever leaving the state.
Teaching Police Officers and Firefighters to Fly
He moved to California and spent several years as a flight instructor, teaching police officers and firefighters how to fly helicopters. Every flight starts with a preflight inspection. Every single time.
Helicopter Tours Over an Active Volcano
From California, Beau moved to Hawaii where he flew helicopter tours over an actively erupting volcano — lava fields, coastline, and some of the most demanding flying conditions in the world.
Bringing It All Together
When Beau came back to Utah and started C&H Inspections, he brought everything with him. The trades knowledge, the environmental background, the aviation discipline. A home inspection is a preflight check for the biggest purchase of your life.

"Beau was incredibly thorough and professional. He found issues that the previous inspector completely missed. His report was detailed with photos and easy to understand. Worth every penny."
"I was amazed at how detailed the inspection was. Beau spent over 3 hours going through every inch of the house and explained everything as he went. The digital report was delivered the same evening."
"The mold inspection with the dog was incredible to watch. Found moisture behind the master bathroom wall that we never would have known about. Saved us from a very expensive surprise."
