"On my last house the inspector told the agent that everything will be fine. The house will pass. The problem was he told her that before the inspection even started. I wasn't going to use that kind of inspector this time".
M.L. - League City

""The builder said he wouldn't have sold me the house knowing it was going to be inspected. I want to know what they are hiding".

"After your recent inspection of a one year old "as-is" foreclosed builder home we requested structural repairs. The bank saw the photos and the references to building codes and opted to repair than give thousands of dollars in price cuts; the leverage of your report gave us the stronger position."

"Hey Jim, just got back from the walkthrough with your report in hand. They pretty much didn't give us any lip about any of it -- the dryer booster fan and framing stuff included -- I was really surprised.

Nonetheless, I have to say this is the first inspection I've had that I really felt was worth the money -- thank you so much for all of your insights; the came in very handy today, and I suspect that they will continue to do so for warranty and maintenance issues in the future.

Thanks again, and we'll be sure to recommend you to anyone else buying in the area."

"Jim,

I wanted to drop you a brief note to tell you that, surprisingly, they took care of every issue you documented. And did it with a smile.

On the day of our walk through, they had a few contractors back to work on some items. One was fixing the larger heater unit. One was working on the fixing the side building foundation issues and the other literately was removing all windows and carefully remounting and then checking to ensure they were sealing correctly on the top (per your suggestion).

They carefully went over your list and showed me what they had done to fix (even things like the messy breaker box job outside).

Your inspection was priceless Jim. Best money I ever spent.

I feel sorry for anyone who purchases a home and doesn’t get an inspector of your caliber.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Regards,
Jim & Susan Molloy

How Was Your Inspection?

If your inspection didn't pay for itself you probably had the wrong inspector. Inspections are simply night and day as there is no real qualifications to be licensed. Some may be so poor you simply threw your money away and still have the untold hazards especially electrical and gas.

Our clients are always glad they came to the inspection and they all learn a lot.

Texas does not require inspectors to be code certified so many are not so beware of false qualifications. The state does not train or certify inspectors. The state only issues a license. It is up to the inspector to go get experience and credentials on their own. Some credentials are available for a yearly fee.

If your inspector is not IRC code certified then they have no knowledge of code violations or construction defects. Code certification can take years to obtain through testing. The state minimum inspection standards are not code inspections and should not be relied upon. Some may hide behind false standards they cannot substantiate or document. The majority we come across do not even own code books.

The professional inspectors provide a source reference for each opinion of condition. They don't hide behind the "per current iindustry standards" bluff to make themselves look good to you.

If your inspector knows nothing about the specialized coastal county construction then what is he or she looking for?
