Per our report and inspection agreement contract, it is highly recommended that the buyer consult a professional in the given field for all repairs and investigations prior to closing on the home. A home inspection report is not designed to tell you all necessary repairs; some items require further investigation by a licensed professional. Upon this investigation the licensed professional can give you a quantified estimate of repairs.
We as home inspectors do not offer estimates of repairs as a general rule. Please be aware that we are basically general home practitioners and are required to refer you to a specialist as items warrant. The recommended repairs and investigations are the buyers responsibility. As a buyer, you should request licensed professionals and copies of required permits to ensure all work is adequately performed.
