Q: Depending on your state, a home inspector may need a license

• <div><p>Depending on your state, a home inspector may need a license. All states and the District of Columbia require home inspectors to undergo training. However, some states (such as New York, Texas, Washington, and Illinois) require state-issued licenses while others (including California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) do not.</p><p>Other professional certifications include the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) certification, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) certification, and the National Home Inspector Examination. Inspectors can also receive certifications in specialized areas. These can include structural specialties, like chimneys, swimming pools, or septic systems, as well as specific issues like mold, pests, or radon gas. Whatever your situation, make sure your home inspector is certified to handle it.</p></div>

Q: If you do the work yourself, how can you be sure your home is still structurally sound?

• <div><p>If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-architect-cost.htm">pay to hire an architect</a> or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you&rsquo;re not sure your home will be completely safe when you&rsquo;ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.</p></div>

Q: Can using my realtor’s inspector speed up the home-buying process?

• <div><p>Using your realtor&rsquo;s inspector may potentially speed up the home-buying process in that realtors are unlikely to recommend someone they&rsquo;ve had prior difficulties with regarding scheduling or report turnaround time. There are other factors to consider, though&mdash;you don&rsquo;t want a rushed inspection or a partial report. It&rsquo;s more important that you work with a home inspector who can do a thorough assessment and explain any issues to you clearly.</p></div>

Q: Who covers the home inspection?

• <div><p>Inspectors working for the seller on pre-listing inspections can present a conflict of interest, so standard home inspections are usually hired and paid for by the buyer. If the buyer has some negotiating power, they might request that the seller cover the cost (by taking it off the asking price), but this varies on a case-by-case basis. When it comes to home appraisal costs and pre-listing inspections, the seller will naturally have to pay, as these are done before the home is left up for sale.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a light bulb is LED or incandescent?

• <div><p>Most LED bulbs have a plastic covering, while incandescent bulbs will be made from glass. This is because LED bulbs don&rsquo;t produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, so the covering doesn&rsquo;t need to be as heat resistant. Also, an LED light bulb will usually have a marking on its base that identifies it as an LED.</p></div>

I loved the first $20,000 project this company did for us. The two man crew involved us in every step and were very communicative. The office staff was very attentive and personable. so much so that we hired them to replace our roof and chimney. A crew of 11 men that didn't speak english showed...

In my experience they did a less than stellar job. They barely know what they are doing when it comes to replacing wood siding. There are half inch gaps where the siding meets the trim. We had them do some work from the interior of the house and there's a number of places where the wood floors...
