Sorry for the bluntness, but those of you who are "afraid" of re-inspections, of any liability, of being wrong - you and I are in different leagues and I cannot identify with your reasonings. Perhaps some websites should be changed to reflect that followup re-inspection support is not provided. Let the client know up front what he can expect after he pays you for your service. It's the fair and professional thing to do.
"you and I are in different leagues"
I suppose we were, mine was top end service and I gave my clients what they wanted, expected, and the I gave them more.
"and I cannot identify with your reasonings"
Obviously. But that does not make you right either.
Unlike some inspectors clients (apparently, anyway) my clients were not dumb, they understood why they hired me, and why them paid me top dollar.
My clients fully understood why I would not, could not, give them the 'A OK' for repairs which were done when I was not there and which were no longer visible and accessible enough to say 'Yep, that'un was done alrighty.'
My clients were smarter than than, and they hired me because I was smarter than that.
I felt there was no need to respond to Russel, but there was a need to respond to the above post.
Like you, sorry if I'm blunt - but it is needed at times.
