Years in business is also an important consideration. Approximately 80% of home inspectors are no longer in business after five years. Someone who has been in business for 5 years or longer is more likely to have good business skills and provide a quality service. If you select someone who has five or more years in business you are improving your odds of selecting a quality professional. Proper insurance is another factor that you should look into. Many inspectors do not carry Errors and Omissions insurance. This protects the home buyer in the event the inspector misses something major during the inspection. Select someone who carries insurance. Use of a computer for report writing. This is important for several reasons. It shows a level of professionalism first. It also makes reading the report easy. I have seen hand written report that are difficult to read and vague. A computer generated report makes the report comments consistent and complete. During an inspection hundreds of items are looked at and there can be thousands of comments written. Using a computer increases the completeness of a report and removes the chance of missing items. Ask the inspector you are considering if they do computerized reports. If they say “yes” then consider them. Does the inspector use a digital camera? This is important because when the inspector is able to not only write about a concern but also able to show you what he is talking about with a picture this greatly improves the quality of information and the understanding of the issue. A picture is worth a thousand words.
