t inspection contracts hold the liable for ONLY the amount of the inspection. good luck trying to get anything more out of them.
home inspection quality varies by inspector. you can hire 5 different firms to inspect the same house and probably get 5 very different reports. in many areas inspectors don't even have to be certified, though even certification does not guarantee a quality inspector.
my inspector also noted that we had a good roof with many year of life left in it. what he did not catch was that the attic was under vented and during hot weather the shingles would curl. gonna cost me a good bit of money now, but if we had caught it during inspection the estate of the previous owner would have paid to reroof the house for me like they did with a couple other issues. by the time the shingle problem presented itself to me, it was too late to do anything with teh inspector. -- Lack of Preparation on YOUR Part does NOT Constitute an Emergency on Mine!
