Tim Rubash
Owner and CPI
Tim Rubash is trained and certified with AHIT (American Home Inspectors Training), the largest home inspector training organization in the United States. He is a Certified Professional Inspector and member of InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors) as well as MAHI (Midwest Association of Home Inspectors). Tim also has a license from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to perform radon measurements (RMEA-00437) and is registered with the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) as a Radon Measurement Professional (NRPP ID 112523-RMP).

Tim has a mechanical engineering degree and over 35 years of experience with a Fortune 500 company with leadership responsibilities in project management & plant / maintenance engineering. He also has 40 years of experience repairing and improving homes. He is actively involved as an AARP Tax-Aide and teaches Financial Peace University at his church.
His goal is to guide his clients to ensure an informed decision is made in the home buying process. All homes require regular maintenance and repairs but there are issues that may be found only during a professional inspection that reveal "material defects". Education and coaching are two essential strategies to ensure a positive experience.
*A material defect is a specific issue with a system or component of a residential property that may have a significant, adverse impact on the value of the property, or that poses an unreasonable risk to people.
​
In addition to home inspections, West Egg also provides light maintenance / repair and remodeling work. Due to the perception of conflict of interest, we will NOT work on, or correct, items found during one of our inspections.

Minneapolis Association of Realtors
As an affiliate member I can partner with the REALTOR® association to bring more value to the home selling / buying process.
Supra is a leading global provider of key management solutions. The Supra real estate lockbox system is managed today by real estate associations and Multiple Listing Services for real estate agents to efficiently market and show listed homes. I can access homes without the buyer / listing agent present
ShowingTime is a third party app that allows affiliate partners to manage and schedule their own inspection windows so that inspectors can operate more independently of the real estate agents and still keep them informed of the process.
