Where the documentation standard was formed
Certifications & CredentialsCredentials are claims with paperwork.
Anyone can print “trusted” on a business card. A license number can be looked up, a CMI designation verified, a federal work history documented. Here's Lunar's paperwork — and what each piece actually means.
Four credentials, each verifiable.
Trust in this industry should be checkable. Every credential Lunar advertises is listed below with what it covers, who issues it, and what it means for your inspection — and none of them is decoration. The license defines the legal scope of residential work; the CMI designation documents the experience volume behind the judgment; the federal history explains the reporting standard; the state program appointment connects homeowners to hardening grants.
Just as important is what we don't advertise: services we aren't currently licensed for don't appear on this site. When scope belongs to another licensed specialty — WDO, mold assessment, septic, structural engineering — our reports say so and refer accordingly. Credentials mean the boundaries, too.
- FL DBPR #HI-14111 — the licensed foundation
- CMI® designation — verified experience volume
- U.S. Army housing history — the documentation standard
- My Safe FL Home — state program inspector
What each one is, and what it covers.
Issuer, scope, and meaning — the full accounting.
Florida License #HI-14111
Issued by the Florida DBPR. Authorizes home inspection of 1–4 unit residential dwellings to the state's Standards of Practice (§468.8311, F.S., and DBPR rules) — the legal foundation under every residential report we sign.
Certified Master Inspector®
The industry's highest designation, from the Master Inspector Certification Board — documented inspection volume, continuing education, and a code of ethics, verified rather than self-declared.
U.S. Army housing-inspection background
Years performing contracted inspections of U.S. Army family housing — the documentation-first discipline that became Lunar's reporting standard.
My Safe Florida Home inspector
Participating state-program inspector for eligible wind-mitigation evaluations; program eligibility, assignments, and grant funding are determined by the state.
The boundaries
Specialized scopes — WDO, mold assessment, septic, engineering — are referred to the appropriately licensed professionals, in writing, every time they arise.

My Safe FL Home
State program inspector
Brian Walker, CMI™
Every Lunar inspection is performed and signed by Brian Walker — an InterNACHI Certified Master Inspector and My Safe Florida Home participating inspector whose background includes contracted housing inspections supporting U.S. Army housing programs, with 20+ years of building, remodeling, and field experience behind the credential.
One inspector, one standard: contractor-grade evaluation, insurer-grade documentation, and a direct line to the person who actually walked your property.
Lunar Home & Commercial Inspections
Credential questions, answered.
CMI® is the inspection industry's highest professional designation, administered by the Master Inspector Certification Board — requiring documented experience volume, continuing education, and adherence to a code of ethics. It sits on top of licensing, not instead of it.
Florida License #HI-14111, issued by the Florida DBPR, authorizes home inspections of 1–4 unit residential dwellings performed to the state's Standards of Practice (§468.8311, Florida Statutes, and DBPR rules). Commercial work is performed separately to the ASTM E2018-24 baseline.
Before Lunar, Brian performed contracted inspections of U.S. Army family housing — documentation-heavy work where findings had to survive review by people who never walked the property. That discipline is the origin of Lunar's reporting standard.
A state program that connects Florida homeowners with participating wind-mitigation inspectors and matching grants for qualifying hurricane-hardening upgrades, subject to program rules, eligibility requirements, and available funding. Brian performs eligible inspections as a participating inspector — ask about the program if your home may qualify.
The standard behind every visit.
Certified Master Inspector
The profession's highest credential. Reports signed by a CMI carry weight with agents, lenders, and insurance carriers.
Federal-contract discipline
Brian performed contracted housing inspections supporting U.S. Army housing programs. Your property gets the same checklist rigor — nothing skipped, everything documented.
24-hour reports
Photo-documented digital reports, most delivered within 24 hours, so inspection contingencies and carrier deadlines stay on track.
Technology on every visit
Thermal imaging and instrument diagnostics deployed whenever conditions call for them — documented in the same report.
Northeast Florida native
Coastal wind exposure, mid-century Jacksonville wiring, St. Johns new builds — we inspect what this region actually has.
Support after the report
Complimentary repair re-inspection verification and plain-English answers — the report is the start of the relationship, not the end.
