What to Expect when you're Inspecting: The Start of the Home Inspection in Salem Oregon

Every inspector is different but I like to get everyone on the same page at the very start of the inspection.

I am not a building inspector. Despite the similar sound of our job titles I do not inspect for code compliance. (although most codes address safety issues that I will educate my clients on) I do not work for the county/city/local municipality. Unlike most government workers I suffer liability for my actions and recommendations. I work for my clients expressly, I only have their interests in mind and I make every effort to produce the highest quality home inspection every time.

I will find stuff on this house. Every house has things that could be improved and adjusted. New homes are just as bad and a lot of the time even worse than a home that has had the benefit of being lived in. I compare your prospective home to a perfect home, and there is no such thing.

My job is to educate you on your how your new home works. You should attend as much of the inspection as possible. You will get more information out of me if you are standing over my shoulder when I find something worth noting. We can quickly talk about what is wrong, what most likely caused it, how you can fix it and how you can prevent it in the future. That kind of comprehensive discussion can be difficult to accomplish in even the best inspection report.

Thanks for the pictures Melina.
