Some of you may be astounded to hear an inspector actually admit to this. And others may understand that this can be a completely acceptable practice.
Agree - acceptable practice. In fact, I think it would be hard to complete an inspection otherwise. But, it then comes down to individual opinion/experience/training as to what is notable and what isn't and to what degree. Look at NC home inspectors, the realtors got a licensing requirement, but when they found out that didn't make every inspector see everything the same way or report everything the same way, it upset their expectations. The realtors are now having uniform report forms required, by law. ( another subject). I'll tell any client that much of HI is subjective and another inspector could walk in right behind me and end up with a much different report.
