If you are buying a residential or commercial property and need to know the condition of the property, it is important to check out the credentials of the inspector you are considering. Is the inspector well trained? Does he stay current with continuing education? Does he have a passion for his work and a commitment to high ethical and professional standards? While there are some good inspectors out there, why wouldn't you want the best inspector you can find? Bill Loden is the only inspector at Insight Home Inspection and we encourage you to check out his credentials before you go any further. Here are some highlights: Nationally recognized home inspection expert and was the 2014 National President of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Bill was recently featured in an ABC Nightline Special Report on new home construction titled "New Home Heartbreak." (Nov. 2016) Other publications who have used Bill Loden as an expert include Consumer Reports, Bob Villa, New York Times, Wall Street Journal. Bill has a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction from Miss. St. Over the years he has worked extensively at both the state and national level to raise the standards for professional home inspectors. Bill currently works as a consultant with the Alabama Building Commission to review complaints against home inspectors. At the national level Bill has been heavily involved with the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) since 2003 serving in various capacities including chairing the Ethics Committee, serving on the Board of Directors and serving as national President in 2014. Bill has also worked as an expert for the Examination Board of Professional Home Inspectors (EBPHI) to define and write test questions for the National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE) This is the licensing exam for the State of Alabama and 24 other states. Bottom Line: If you can find a home inspector with stronger credentials in North Alabama, hire them.

"I did research to find the most qualified inspector in the area and between his certifications, Angies' List, I chose Bill. When I called his assistant told me he was available the next morning! Scheduled the home inspection for 8:30 AM but since there were early storms rolling in he had completed the inspection before I arrived. He is extremely thorough and professional, and is a former president of the National Society of Home Inspectors. His inspection was detailed, with many pictures, and found issues that saved me from thousands of dollars in repairs. Bill noticed a structural issue with the house which the seller disputed. I had to hire a structural engineer to resolve the issue and he agreed with Bill. A load bearing beam had been removed from the house and it was structurally unsafe and I have no idea how much it would have cost me to have it resolved and then repainted to be ready to sell. Ultimately, the deal on the house did not go through due to damage that occurred after the contract was signed and I hired Bill again when my wife and I chose a new home. He is worth every penny and realtors rarely recommend him to clients because he is so thorough."

"This is the second time we have use Mister Sparky of Huntsville for our electrical repair needs. What a terrific company to work with. So courteous and professional. We needed to repair an electrical outlet for our pool light. Turns out the cost was more than we had anticipated due to the original outlet installed by the pool company was totally not up to code. As a result, the outlet had shorted out and could have put electricity in the pool. Scary! Matt and his co-worker did a fantastic job, adding new breakers to the pool breaker box and a new 'sealed' outlet box next to the pool deck. I highly recommend Mister Sparky of Huntsville for any and all electrical needs you might have."

"It took several months before they got to me, because they are quite busy, but I was not in a big hurry. They did an excellent job; it looks great! They re-used my brick and did a good job of matching the mortar. They removed the whole area around the cracks, cleaned it up, and then re-assembled it. They also redid some brickwork under a downspout and that looks nice as well. They put new molding and lintel around the garage."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

A half bath is a selling point, adding about $8,000 to $10,000 to the overall value of your home. Removing it can decrease your home’s value—particularly if you have too few bathrooms for the number of bedrooms. That said, it may not make much difference if the number of bathrooms isn’t a problem. You could add value by utilizing that space differently, like a laundry room or workspace.

Mobile homes need releveling every so often to maintain their structural integrity. Most mobile home manufacturers recommend releveling every three to five years. To keep the quality of your mobile home up for years and to avoid deterioration over time, proper maintenance is key.

If your home has a forced-air HVAC system, it will also have HVAC duct parts. Air ducts are connected to an HVAC unit and deliver heated or cooled air to each room; your heating and AC wouldn’t work without ductwork.

However, if your house has a boiler or radiator system for heating and doesn’t have central AC, you probably don’t have ductwork installed.

The three main types of home inspections you should always carry out for new construction include a pre-drywall inspection, a post-drywall inspection, and a one-year inspection. The pre-drywall inspection can identify building code violations, issues with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, and structural issues. The post-drywall inspection can identify damaged building materials, insufficient insulation, and more. An inspection at the one-year mark after construction will identify problems your builder must fix under their comprehensive one-year warranty.

From the underwriter to the home inspector, the team working to help you buy a house is there to make sure it is a sound financial decision and that the house is worth what you're paying for it. 

A sale can fall through when a mortgage lender discovers the cost of the home plus closing costs is too high for your current financial status. Another potential issue is that an inspector or appraiser can find issues with the home that halt the sale if the offer is far higher than what it's worth.
