Built on
Experience.
Beau Brown is the founder and lead inspector at C&H Inspections. His background runs through trades work, stage production, hazardous-material cleanup, aviation, and hands-on field experience, which is why his inspections tend to focus on systems, sequencing, and the details that get missed when people rush.
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. A home inspection works the same way: you follow a system, you slow down, and you check the details that can change the decision."
— 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, preflight inspection is a discipline, not a formality. That same discipline carries over well to home inspection.
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 around tools, repairs, and hands-on work. That early exposure gave him a practical understanding of how materials age, how assemblies go together, and why shortcuts usually show up later.
Stage Productions
He spent time in stage and event production, where small missed details could affect the whole result. That experience reinforced the value of methodical work.
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 works best as a disciplined review before a major purchase.

"Beau was thorough, clear, and easy to work with. He documented issues in a way that made the house easier to understand and the next decisions easier to make."
"The inspection was detailed and well explained. Beau walked through the house carefully, answered questions in real time, and sent the report later that same day."
"The mold inspection helped us identify hidden moisture behind a bathroom wall before closing, which gave us time to address the issue with better information."
