General Home Inspection

Experience Does Make a Difference When Hiring a Home Inspector. Many home inspectors take a simple online test or take a week long class at a so called college and then go into the home inspection business. There IS NO replacement for actual hands on training in the field and over 15 years of actual experience. Experience does make the difference. If the inspector indicates he or she took any online test, online course or some so called week long college course, you might as well hang up and move on to the next inspector on your list. For over 15 years, I have personally inspected Hundreds of houses. I have personally purchased and sold dozens of these houses. I have done many things to a home, that most inspectors only read about in a text book or online course. I have worked hand in hand with every single tradesmen in the building and construction industry. It is one thing to learn about being a home inspector in a classroom and another to actually learn about it while doing it. From waterproofing a basement or re-roofing a house you need hands on experience. A week long course or a textbook may describe the methods on how to do the work, but until you actually do it, in the field, that’s when you gain the most knowledge and experience.
