Consumer Warning
Not all inspection
companies or inspectors are the same.
In some areas, all
you have to do is buy a business license and
call yourself an Inspector.
Some inspectors
complete only a short online class and then buy
a business license enabling them to inspect your
property.
Some Inspectors
have no trade, construction, formal training or
practical experience.
Having a business
license does not necessarily mean they are
qualified.
The following are
some questions you should ask before hiring an
inspector:
-
How long have
you been in business?
-
How many
inspections have you done?
-
Have you
attended any formal schools of Inspection?
Classroom or internet?
-
Have you
passed the National Certification Test for
Home Inspectors?
-
Do you
participate in continuing education
programs?
-
How long have
you lived in the area?
-
Are you
licensed and insured?
Of course, the
"right" answers to the above questions do not
guarantee a professional inspection, but knowing
this much about your prospective inspector will
help you make a more informed decision about the
inspector you are considering.
