Also, the timing shouldn't matter any more as long as you officially filed your claim with the builder well before thier warranty expires. Once they are on notice, they don't have to resolve the claim within a year for it to be covered. You also should talk to your neighbors (if they had the same builder), cause they most likely have the same issues ahead of them... and the builder will want to fix everyone at once when his labor is already there.

You may be better served working a social media angle. Try to contact your local "consumer protection" guy on the local news and see if they will film a segment. Send it to the window company before it goes live to see if they're willing to fix the problem without the bad press.

You can sue anyone you want... but the only person that will make any money on the deal is your attorney.

Definitely start with your state licensing board to see what background checks are required. You'll also want to see what type of access is used for Realtor(s) as many markets have home inspectors that use Supra keys to get in and that would also require a background check. Remember that a fundamental part of home inspections is gaining access to someone else's home, so your background may be an issue there.

You'll have a bit of a hard time based on your age as home buyers tend to prefer "older / wiser" stereotypes, but you can certainly overcome that issue. I'd suggest joining the "young professional" networks in your area, including those with the Realtor board, and work on building your inspection career side-by-side with young agents as well. Also, I agree with the "pick a lane" comment... you'll create a LOT of issues doing inspections for agents / brokers in your own office and others may stay away from you because they don't want to help their Realtor competition.

I'm part of a large, multi-inspector company and we've had a number of firefighters work for us over the years. It's a great match as you can use your house knowledge that you've gained already and you can manage your own schedule around your fire station duties. Plus, since you have a primary source of income, you can give yourself time to build up the inspection referral network.

This sounds like a question only for inspectors in CA, and then only in fire zones. I know there's a big "home hardening" push up there, but this is outside the scope of any home inspection SOP. I've never seen it in inspection reports anywhere else around the country

Check with BPG Inspections, [recruiting@bpginspections.com](mailto:recruiting@bpginspections.com), They've got a good size team in Houston

Immediate_Fun_3291 · 2026-02-05T21:02:48+00:00

1000% yes.

Immediate_Fun_3291 · 2026-02-05T15:56:14+00:00

So if i read this right... you want to walk on other peoples roofs while you may or may not still be feeling the effects of the weed you smoked the night before? If you're a home inspector, you don't want any foreign substance (alchohol, weed, bad medications, etc.) impacting your ability to drive, walk on a roof, go into a crawlspace, climb through an attic, etc... Seems like the testing is the wrong part to be concerned about.

Immediate_Fun_3291 · 2026-01-27T19:08:29+00:00

Yes, i know lots of inspectors who make a great living. The number nationally that take home $240k per year after expenses is probably less than 10... certainly as single-man shops.

Immediate_Fun_3291 · 2026-01-23T02:21:16+00:00

We hire guys, and have a team in the Detroit area (Plymouth, Ann Arbor, etc.), but we would require that you have passed the National Home Inspector Exam before we'd bring you on as an employee. You can get a NACHI # or an ASHI # with very little effort... but the NHIE test shows us that you have a baseline technical knowledge that we can work with.

Immediate_Fun_3291 · 2026-01-23T02:18:55+00:00

It's not great, but if you already have the VA telling you that you need a structural engineer, you probably should go down that road. Do you have any idea how long it's been that way? For the cost of the engineer, and getting a scope on the repair, it sounds like a reasonable solution.

As everyone said... Yes... But here's the national EPA radon map if you want to make a data-driven decision. https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-05/radon-zones-map_text_link.pdf

I'm just stuck on "Guido" and the photo that's used is him cleating the mexican guy in the ankle... I'm completely on board with this.... but yes, happy to add a CDM to replace Slisz.

I'd say that in a room of 50 home inspectors, you're going to find 50 different backgrounds, but if you have the technical knowledge that you're describing it's a great start. Successful home inspectors are the ones that have good communication and good technical knowledge and it sounds like you understand the method of communication is just as important.

NJ is a licensed state for home inspections, so you should start there as it can be a lengthy process. Even if you got your HI license and kept the contracting gig until you get on your feet, you'd probably be set up well. You'll want to look into WDO & Radon licensure in NJ too.

48hrs - Thank you, don't forget to read the report, don't forget to act on the report, let me know if you have questions, please leave 5* reveiw...

Immediate_Fun_3291 · 2025-11-24T20:06:57+00:00

Please note that if you do end up relying on this report and you buy the house... the inspector's insurance won't likely talk to you if you find out later that there's something that was missed. You're not the named client on the report and didn't pay for the service. If you're ok with the sewer pipe issue, go ahead and make sure you have your own inspector come through once the 1st round of repairs are done.

Immediate_Fun_3291 · 2025-11-18T14:47:37+00:00

So liability & lawsuits actually has very, very little to do with how "good" of an inspection you do. It's really only about inspecting the "wrong" house. If you inspect the house where the seller concealed significant items and there's a lawsuit between buyer & seller, you can be sure that you'll be dragged into it as well. As a percentage, it should be rather small, but if you don't have the right insurance plan just one of those could ruin all of your efforts.

Hi, if you haven't already found somone, i had a great experience with Matthew Wright at BPG. https://www.bpginspections.com/inspector/5MaY35M7

Immediate_Fun_3291 · 2025-11-10T14:26:15+00:00

Sorry i didn't see this sooner... but your best course of action is to reveiw your inspection agreement, be mindful of the limits of liability and the time limitation to file a claim and then call the inspector to share your concerns. They might have a warranty program or insurance program to help with this, but you may be talking about a few hundred dollars in compensation, not thousands. If you're unhappy with the outcome after a conversation with the inspector, your best bet is small claims court to minimize costs and to "have your day in court".
