You hire a home inspector to provide you with information about your new home. We tell you what is not working, what is unsafe, and what you should do about it. Unfortunately, clients don't always follow my directions.
For instance, my reports instruct them to have the repairs done by licensed tradespeople before close, since tradespeople are more likely to complete the repairs to code and discover issues outside the scope of my home inspection. To my dismay, client's allow sellers, who are not licensed as electricians, HVAC technicians, or plumbers, to make repairs. These repairs could be substandard or just wrong.
I implore you, as my client, to read the report and follow my instructions.
