Oakland Home Inspection

Choosing the Right Inspector

Whether getting your Oakland home pre-inspected, or getting a home inspection for a home you are buying in Oakland, choosing the right home inspector is an important step toward protecting your investment.

The following factors should be considered when looking for an inspector for your Oakland home inspection:

Is your inspector experienced?

Ask the inspector about their experience, education and training. A seasoned and dependable inspector will will have a track-record of happy clients. Request references and make the phone calls to their past customers. Look for a Oakland inspector that has training in construction standards, a thorough knowledge of deficient home maintenance and things that could be hazards to health and safety.

Is your inspector certified?

Certification and membership with an independent association of home inspectors is usually a plus if those associations require training programs that keep the inspector well-informed of industry practices, up-to-date methods and inspection standards.

Is your inspector insured?

There's always a possibility of oversights and mistakes. That's why it is crucial to choose a seasoned Oakland home inspector with a good reputation. Make sure you ask the inspection company what its policy is for those circumstances and ask about insurance coverage for errors and omissions.
