"From the historic Courthouse Square and downtown bungalows to Redbud Court and the rolling farmland of Perry County β your local Perryville home inspector with Licensed PE credentials right here at home."
Perryville is home β literally. A-Team Consulting and Contracting LLC is based right here in Perryville, and Mark Krigbaum has spent his career inspecting homes across Perry County and the surrounding Southeast Missouri communities. As a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE 2012000775) and InterNACHI Certified Inspector with over a decade of experience and 1,000+ inspections completed, Mark brings something to every Perryville inspection that no out-of-town inspector can match: hometown knowledge of how Perry County homes are built, how they age, and what really matters in this part of Missouri.
Perryville traces its origins all the way back to Missouri statehood β 51 acres set aside as the original town just three days before Missouri joined the Union in 1821. The historic Courthouse Square still anchors downtown, with its imposing 1904 Romanesque Revival courthouse and the surrounding storefronts that have been the heart of Perry County life for generations. The city's oldest homes β colonial bungalows from the late 19th and early 20th centuries β sit close to the square and along the streets that radiate out from it. Newer subdivisions like Redbud Court bring modern construction to the mix, and the surrounding farmland of Perry County offers everything from century-old farmsteads to manufactured homes to brand-new rural builds. The Seminary Picnic in August, Moonlight Madness in October, and a downtown that's still vibrant in 2026 β Perryville isn't just where A-Team is based. It's the kind of small-town community where reputation matters and where Mark inspects homes for friends, neighbors, and people who'll see him at the grocery store next week.
Here's what every Perryville buyer should understand about homes in this part of Missouri. The colonial bungalows and older farmhouses downtown and across the county can be over a century old β they have charm and craftsmanship, but they often hide aging galvanized plumbing, knob-and-tube wiring, undersized electrical panels, and foundation movement from decades of clay-soil seasonal swing. Crawlspaces and basements in older Perryville homes frequently have original construction without vapor barriers, creating the conditions for moisture intrusion, mold growth, and joist rot. New construction in Redbud Court and similar developments is not immune either β framing shortcuts, drainage problems, HVAC imbalance, and grading issues show up in homes less than a year old, which is why a Builder Warranty Inspection before the 1-year warranty expires can pay for itself many times over. And across rural Perry County, manufactured homes, septic systems, and private wells all require specialized inspection knowledge that A-Team brings to every property.
Hiring local matters in Perryville β and hiring local with PE credentials matters even more. Because Mark is a Licensed Professional Engineer, A-Team can issue HUD Manufactured Home Foundation Certifications directly with PE-stamped documentation that FHA, VA, and USDA lenders accept on the first review. Mark can also evaluate and document structural concerns without requiring you to hire a separate engineer at additional cost. Whether you're buying a historic bungalow near Courthouse Square, a new build in Redbud Court, a farmstead in rural Perry County, or a manufactured home anywhere in the area, A-Team brings hometown service, real engineering expertise, and the honest, plain-English reporting that Perryville buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals have come to count on.

Answers to the most common questions Perryville and Perry County homebuyers ask before scheduling their inspection.
Hiring local matters in a small town. A-Team is based right here in Perryville, so Mark knows Perry County homes, the soil conditions, the seasonal weather patterns, the construction styles, and the regional contractors. He's not driving in from St. Louis or Cape Girardeau β he's the inspector who lives here, works here, and stands behind every report he delivers.
Yes. The colonial bungalows and older homes around Courthouse Square and across Perry County can be well over a century old. They often have aging galvanized plumbing, knob-and-tube wiring, undersized electrical service panels, and foundation movement from decades of clay-soil seasonal swing. Mark's Licensed PE credential and over a decade of engineering experience specifically equip him to identify these historic-home vulnerabilities and explain them in plain English.
Rural Perry County is exactly where A-Team's range matters most. We inspect septic systems, private wells, manufactured homes, farmsteads, and outbuildings β services that not every inspector offers. Because Mark is a Licensed PE, we can also issue HUD Manufactured Home Foundation Certifications directly with PE-stamped documentation that FHA, VA, and USDA lenders accept on the first review.
Brand-new doesn't mean defect-free. Even new construction can have issues a builder's walkthrough misses β framing shortcuts, drainage problems, HVAC imbalance, settling cracks. A-Team recommends a general inspection before closing and a Builder Warranty Inspection right before your builder's 1-year warranty expires. That second inspection is one of the smartest investments any new-construction buyer in Perryville can make.
Most Perryville home inspections take 1.5 to 3 hours on-site, depending on the property size, age, and the services requested. Mark typically delivers the full inspection report within 24 hours via email. Because A-Team is local, scheduling is fast β often next-day for time-sensitive Perryville closings. Call or text 573-880-8414 to discuss your timeline.
Most home inspectors aren't engineers. Mark Krigbaum is a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE 2012000775), which means when an inspection turns up a structural concern, a foundation question, or a load-bearing issue, A-Team can evaluate and document it directly β no need to hire a separate engineer at additional cost. For Perryville and Perry County buyers, that's both expertise and savings.
