Will your inspector walk the roof?
I walk all roofs that I inspect if it is safe to do so.
Believe it or not, there are some inspectors who are still using handwritten/checklist type reports. They haven't figured out, or they haven't bothered to invest in their company enough to get the latest technology in report systems. My reports are all computer generated with many digital photos of the defects included. My reports are emailed next day after the inspection.
Is Your Inspector Qualified?
That should be a question on every buyers mind when they are looking for a home inspector for their potential new home.
Here in Utah there are no laws governing home inspectors so you need to be sure who you are hiring. Below are a few questions you should ask before you hire your inspector:
Does your inspector have construction experience?
I have over 10 years experience building custom homes here in St. George. I've done everything from pouring the footings to putting the roof covering on. I worked for one of Utah's largest home builders as a Superintendent. I was responsible for the construction from start to finish.
Is your inspector a member of InterNachi?
InterNachi is the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. I am a member in good standing. This is the largest inspector association in the country. To take a look at the requirements go to this link.
Will your inspector walk the roof?

What kind of report are you going to get?
