Spotting the cracks
When buying a new home, we might be able to convince ourselves that fresh paint and a new pair of curtains is all it needs. Home inspectors, however, aren’t so easily persuaded.
From wet crawl spaces to missing roof shingles, leaky pipes to cracks in the foundation, they spot the signs that a house or condo needs a lot more than a cosmetic fix.
As a home inspector, you’ll be helping new homeowners avoid buyer’s remorse, or worse. It’s a job they’ll thank you for.
