Dan Cullen
Dan’s long and diverse building construction career began in 1976 when he became an apprentice carpenter. Achieving journeyman status four years later, Dan worked in home building, industrial truss repair and concrete construction before founding his own remodeling and construction company in 1981. After fifteen years improving and repairing homes in the Chicago area, Dan brought his diverse construction expertise to an insurance service firm, where he worked as a home inspector for Allstate, American Family and other insurance companies.
In 1999 Dan founded Domicile Consulting. Since that time he has performed thousands of home inspections throughout Cook and DuPage Counties and built a loyal base of repeat customers via his outstanding service, dedication and integrity. He is the lead educator for the Domicile entity for home inspection education and routinely “re-educates” builders and developers on the best building practices.
Retiring from 31 years of service with the Chicago Fire Department in 2010, Dan now spends his time helping others best understand their property’s condition in addition to enjoying his family.
