How to Find a Quality Home Inspector
When you need a home inspection, finding a company you can trust is of utmost importance. The house inspection process requires in-depth knowledge of construction, regulations, and more, so you need to find a home inspector who has experience.
In addition to experience, the industry itself has rules and certifications that must be followed, so you want to ensure you go with someone with all the necessary legal requirements. Otherwise, they will miss important issues and fail to follow the correct steps.
If you need help finding a quality home inspector before buying or selling a home, this guide from DMC Home Inspections will help you know what to look for in your home inspector.
Look For Someone Who Has Passed The Licensing Exam
While not all states require home inspectors to pass a licensing exam, many do. And, even if it’s not a legal requirement, most quality home inspectors will get their licensing in place to ensure they are reliable and trustworthy.
Always ask a home inspection company whether their employees are licensed. This way, you’ll be sure they know what to do during an inspection and what they’re not allowed to do.
Check Their Certification Status
When contacting various home inspection companies, ask them about their certifications and if they are part of professional organizations. You mainly want to go with companies that ensure they are InterNACHI® CPI certified and also belong to the American Society of Home Inspectors.
Ask About Their Experience
Experience is also essential when it comes to home inspections. So, it’s wise to ask any potential companies about their track record and how long they’ve been in business. Most companies will be happy to talk to you a bit about this, but be sure to also look at reviews to get a more balanced view and get input from others who’ve used their services.
