Customer Reviews

A sound, well-written companion for home inspectors/buyers

This book hits upon the major components of home inspection. The checklists throughout the book are a bit redundant (I found many duplicate checklist items). The book also goes in to some considerations for starting your own business in home inspection, which is helpful. I view this book as a good SUPPLEMENT rather than the "bible" of home inspection because I feel it is not exhaustive and technical enough in content. However, for the non-technically inclined homebuyer, the book will be a good tool to have under his/her belt.
