Have you ever longed for professional service before? I’m sure you’ve had times when you waited for your meal and thought, “I sure need a better waiter than this guy.” Or you’ve had Joe the neighborhood mechanic work on your car and thought, “I only wish I could afford better than this.” The truth is, every human has had times when the service they receive is not up to par.
You may have even had a home inspection or two like this. You knew someone in your community, a neighbor, friend, or relative who has some experience in home inspection. To save money, you get your cousin Tony to help you out. He comes, inspects your home, and tells you, “Everything’s fine. Your home is as good as new.” You agree with him—until your roof starts leaking next week due to April showers. And then you think to yourself, “I need a professional inspector.” A professional home inspection is just the thing you’re looking for.
A professional home inspection is an examination of your home that is done correctly by a certified home inspector. You could have a licensed home inspector to do the work for you, but he or she does not have the proper certification for mold, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and other necessary knowledge. If you want to trust someone to do the work, trust inspectors who have taken home inspection courses and passed examinations. They may not be the best at the job—but they will certainly know more than your cousin Tony.
A professional home inspection will take note of every little nook and cranny in your walls, floors, carpet, ceiling, roof, siding, door, window, and so on. Home inspectors take a long time to examine a home because they want to do it right. Have you ever seen someone bake a cake by merely throwing ingredients into a pot, stirring it, and throwing it into the oven? Of course not! If you cannot bake a cake by slinging ingredients around, how then can you inspect a house in a hurry?
Examining a house takes time and patience. You have to be meticulous in terms of wall examinations, so you can look for cracks and holes. There may be holes in your wood that are a direct result of ants or termites. A good home inspector should be able to see that. The inspector should be able to look at your roof and see leaks, though the roof shingles are black. A professional home inspection investigates as much of your home as possible before the examiner provides an inspection report. The time invested is for your good: you may thank your home inspector later.
