Former restaurateur and Bucks County franchise owner of HouseMaster Home Inspections, Lloyd William Scarborough has been a member since 2002. He is on the Board of Directors and a co-chair of the Technology, Energy and Building Committee.
Lloyd expressed that “membership increases business presence.” He will be setting up an exhibit at the Showcase that will present “the best, newest money-saving technology concepts out there for the home and business. As a home inspector, I identify ways to save energy or identify areas where they are not saving energy, with gas leaks, leaky faucets, or windows not closing properly.”
