Michael Bleile: LIC #HI02200089
Michael is a combat veteran and the owner of Recon Inspections. He is fueled by his passion for learning and considers himself a “forever student,” as he enjoys discovering new and intriguing features in the homes he inspects. Michael’s hunger for knowledge and determination to turn information into action has contributed to his successful inspection endeavors.
As your professionally licensed and certified inspector, Michael’s goal is to arm you with the information you need about the condition of the property you own, or are looking to purchase. He has the training and experience needed to identify potential issues and give you a better idea of the ongoing maintenance the property may require.
After his exit from the United States Army, Michael quickly found interest in the trades, specifically construction and home inspecting. His career in inspecting is strongly supported by his spouse, Josey, and three children, Jameson, Vaeda, and Rae.
Michael believes attention to detail in the workplace is key to success. With that, he is here to offer you the best possible home inspection you can get. He maintains the concept of “No Detail Left Behind,” at the forefront of all his inspections and will report on the story of your home as vividly and comprehensively as possible.

"Michael was so good about communicating with us and making sure we knew what to expect. He walked us through every room of the house and showed us exactly where every potential problem was. He even gave thorough explanations of what those problems could lead to if ignored and what sort of professionals can fix them.
His report is thorough and full of photographs, he answered every question, and was so prompt about getting the report back to us. He's been excellent both for our pre-listing inspection and the inspection on our new home.”
