There are many choices when choosing a home inspector. Price should be one of the things you ask, however, don't make price your only consideration . Ask around. Friends, neighbors, Realtors, people you work with, etc. When speaking to an inspector ask about licenses, credentials, insurance and continuing education. Be well informed on what you're getting for your money. I began in the home renovation business buying and selling houses (doing the work myself) for approximately 6 years and I have been in the inspection business full time for approximately 7 years now. I've performed over 2,500 inspections. I believe continuing education is the best way to stay on top of my business so I now belong to The National Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI) . This organization requires testing and continuing education. NAHI requires 16 hours continuing education. Ask this question when interviewing inspectors. I also carry very good liability and Errors and Omissions insurance provided by FREA. This should be another question you ask.

Why should a permit be pulled on construction

Pulling a permit on work being done to a home, whether it be an addition or renovation, is highly recommended by Summerlin Home Inspection. A permit from the city or county will cause building inspectors to evaluate the work being done "as it is done, in stages" and not just after the entire job is complete. This can insure the work is done correctly and to code. You can call the local building department to find out if a permit for the work being done on a home you are buying has been pulled. The men and women of the code departments are here to help you. Columbus Code Enforcements phone number is 706-653-4126. Phenix City Building Departments phone number is 334-448-2740. The following home was inspected for my client who was going through the process of buying this home. According to the building department, no permit has been pulled on this home since 2006. I was completely surprised at the number of code violations and improper work on this home. CLICK HERE FOR NO PERMIT PULLED

On a personal note:

As the father of a 20 year old daughter, I have concerns as other parents do. So far I've been very blessed with a

daughter that is concerned with her religion,her family, her grades and her conduct. Some parents are not so lucky.

According to the 2002 National Survey on Drug Use, an estimated 7.7 million individuals age 12 or older were in

need of care for an illicit drug problem. Furthermore, an estimated 18.6 million persons age 12 or older were in

need of assistance for an alcohol problem. Teen Challenge has responded with action to statistics like these.

Providing residential and non-residential care for thousands of men and women seeking freedom from life-controlling

problems, Teen Challenge has become their answer.
