El Reno sits at the crossroads of history — literally where Route 66 meets the Chisholm Trail. But this city also sits in the heart of Tornado Alley. The 2013 El Reno tornado set a record as the widest ever documented: 2.6 miles across. It's a reminder of what Oklahoma weather can do.
The city is growing as Oklahoma City expands westward. New development means new construction, but it also means older neighborhoods facing increased property values and the question of whether to update, renovate, or sell. Each decision involves understanding what's actually in those walls.
With a median age of 34.7 years and affordable housing (median around $175,000), El Reno attracts young families and first-time buyers. Many are purchasing homes they haven't fully evaluated — inheriting decades of Oklahoma weather and past owner decisions.

Why I Do Things Differently
I spent over a decade as an ER nurse. I learned that the best outcomes come from honest assessments, not hopeful guesses. "Your leg is broken." "That's going to need stitches." "You probably shouldn't have skipped that last step on the ladder."
Now I apply that same approach to homes. When I inspect your El Reno property, you get the truth — not a sales pitch for remediation I'm hoping to sell you.
I don't do remediation. I can't. My only job is to find what's there and explain what it means. If you need work done, I'll give you a list of contractors I don't work for and don't get paid by. Then I leave.
In a community that has literally weathered record-breaking storms, honest answers about what's in your walls aren't optional — they're essential.
El Reno Mold Questions
Yes. Storm repairs done quickly often prioritize getting homes habitable rather than ensuring complete moisture remediation. Materials sealed in before fully drying can harbor mold for years. A decade later, those repairs may be showing their age.
Long-term effects of storm repairs →Older homes have different vulnerabilities than modern construction. Pier-and-beam foundations, original plaster, and decades of renovations create layers of complexity. Each era's construction methods had different strengths and weaknesses for moisture management.
Historic home considerations →El Reno sits in the heart of Tornado Alley. Each storm season brings hail, high winds, and severe weather. Even without direct hits, cumulative exposure degrades roofing, siding, and seals — creating entry points for the moisture that feeds mold.
Storm exposure and home integrity →Absolutely. El Reno's affordable prices make homeownership accessible, but lower-priced homes often reflect deferred maintenance or unaddressed issues. An inspection tells you what you're actually buying — so you can negotiate or budget accordingly.
