Congratulations! You just made an offer on the house you love and now you need to choose a home inspector

How do you go about in choosing the right home inspector?

Here are my recommendations:

How long should the inspection take? This is very important! A comprehensive home inspection will take at least 3 maybe 4 hours, depending on its size and age, even for a "well maintained" home.

Ask to see samples of their reports. Look for descriptive (not generic) text and specific photos on items they find with proposed resolutions. If there are none, ask why not!

Ask to see testimonials of their performance from their past clients.

If you are still apprehensive at that point, then please give me a call or read on!

What should you look for in a professional Rhode Island home inspection? Your Rhode Island home inspector requires a working knowledge of Rhode Island building standards, standard construction practices and extensive construction background in order to adequately perform your Rhode Island home inspection and finally provide you with a professionally prepared, detailed pictorial report of your future investment as he has done with previous clients!

Choosing the right Rhode Island home inspector, a fully insured, NACHI certified home inspector, for a your Rhode Island home inspection will mean the difference between finding hundreds or thousands of dollars in problems -- or not finding them at all! Improvements to homes performed by the "Average Home Handyman" or even a Rhode Island registered contractor does not mean that they were thorough in all areas of the home. A fully insured Home Inspector will carry sufficient insurance that covers damage to the property being inspected and for claims resulting in negligence in discovering and reporting significant discrepancies in the property being inspected.

Do you really need a home inspection and what should you do prior to the inspection? The following recognized resources emphasize the need to request a home inspection by a Rhode Island home inspector that will stand by their findings.
