I mean "can't" in that my in$urance company doesn't cover re-inspections. I tell my clients that all repairs should be done by qualified professionals who provide detailed receipts and stand behind their work. If the seller has the work done, they should provide such receipts.
One way I explain this to clients is this: Suppose you go to your family physician, who is a generalist. And he or she sends you to a specialist, such as a dermatologist, and the dermatologist performs some procedure on you. Do you now return to your family physician and ask him or her if what the specialist did is correct? No. If you have concerns, you go to another dermatologist. Your family physician is not qualified to pass judgment on the specialist.
