With over 30 years of hands-on flooring experience, Jason Whitlow is a certified CFIU Floor Covering Inspector specializing in objective, forensic-level evaluations of flooring problems. From hardwood and vinyl plank to laminate, carpet, tile, and subfloor systems, Jason delivers unbiased, detailed reports backed by industry standards and professional-grade testing.
At All Floors Inspections, we provide the facts — not opinions. Whether you're a homeowner, builder, manufacturer, installer, or attorney, we help you understand what's really happening beneath your feet.
A Floor Covering Inspector is a qualified professional trained to:
Investigate flooring issues like cupping, gapping, buckling, peaking, or delamination
Determine whether problems are due to manufacturing, installation, or site conditions
Perform moisture testing, subfloor evaluation, and surface inspections
Deliver thorough, photo-documented reports to support claims, warranty decisions, or legal cases
As an independent inspector, Jason provides accurate, defensible findings — helping you get answers and resolve flooring disputes with confidence.

How It Works:
Schedule an Inspection
On-Site Evaluation using industry-standard tools
Receive a Detailed Report with findings & photos
Follow-Up Support if needed for claims or legal use
Many mills assign any available certified inspector just to meet deadlines—choosing convenience over quality. The result?
🔸 Incomplete inspections — Key data is missed due to lack of time or expertise.
🔸 Incorrect conclusions — Irrelevant factors are blamed while the real issue goes unresolved.
👉 At All Floors Inspections, we take a different approach:
✅ Thorough, accurate, and unbiased reporting
✅ Backed by 30+ years of hands-on flooring experience
A neutral, third-party expert
No bias toward any manufacturer or installer
A report written without bias, not someone else's bottom line
Identify site, installation, or product-related issues
Document the real cause of the problem (not just what’s convenient)
You receive:
A clear, photo-supported report
Professional documentation that’s defensible in claims, court, or arbitration
Clear explanations, not technical jargon
Whether you're dealing with:
A denied warranty
A builder conflict
An insurance issue
Or just need peace of mind…
Hiring your own inspector gives you control, clarity, and leverage.
Know the difference. Protect your investment with unbiased reporting.

Their Inspector: ⚠️ Protect company liability
🔹 Communication
Your Inspector: ✅ You receive the full report
Their Inspector: ⚠️ May not provide full transparency
🔹 Testing Methods
Your Inspector: ✅ Moisture testing, subfloor analysis, environmental readings
Their Inspector: ⚠️ Often visual-only inspections and subpar testing
🔹 Legal Value
Your Inspector: ✅ Defensible in claims or court
Their Inspector: ⚠️ May lack full independence or credibility
🔹 Motivation
Your Inspector: ✅ Truth and clarity
Their Inspector: ⚠️ Resolve claims quickly, limit liability
📢 Bottom Line: When you hire All Floors Inspections, you get objective, expert insight designed to protect your interests — not theirs.
