Recommendations

You should start your quest for a home inspector by asking family members or close friends for recommendations. If they have had a good experience in the past with an inspector, that will go a long way toward making you feel reassured. Another criterion for hiring a home inspector is if they belong to respected industry organizations and trade groups. A good home inspector will be licensed and certified, and continually seeking education in the industry. Aurora Home Inspections, LLC offers a long list of qualifications and memberships.

Price

As to the cost of the home inspection, proximity to your location should be a consideration. A local inspector will be familiar with standards in construction and codes for your area. Cost should not be the only consideration, but travel time can factor into the cost of an inspection.

Be Ready With Questions

You should be present during the inspection, ask lots of questions and talk to the inspector about the inspection of your home or one you are contemplating purchasing. Old and new construction should be inspected. Even though a property is “up to code” doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be looked over.

 

Inspector Checklist

 

A home inspector’s checklist should typically include the following:

• House Construction – Foundation
• Exterior and interior
• Roof
• Plumbing System
• Electrical System
• HVAC
• Indoor Air Quality

To have a really thorough inspection, ask about add-ons to your inspection contract. Do some homework and make yourself aware of what should be included in a standard home inspection report.
