Now that licensing has taken effect, being "licensed" will not guarantee that your inspector is competent enough to perform a through, comprehensive inspection. Some newly licensed inspectors, may not have even performed a single inspection. Do you want to be their first? Other inspectors may have only performed the minimum 120 inspections to take advantage of the "grandfathering" clause in the home inspection law.

Some inspectors may also be contractors who merely took a test to get licensed. These may be the same contractors that were performing the work, which is found deficient at numerous inspections. These inspectors offer discount pricing in order to get their "foot in the door" and then sell the Client or Seller repairs.

Choose your inspector very, very, carefully!!!!

As per the Home Inspection Licensing Law, All clients are required to read, fill out and sign the Standards of Practice/Pre-Inspection Agreement, prior to performing any inspection. The form is located HERE.
