One thing I would like to mention. In Texas we may inspect items for code but we are not technically code inspectors.
Yeah Yeah, I know it might sound silly but it works extremely well. Once you start quoting code to folks you better inspect everything in the home for codes that the municipality you are inspecting in goes by. One item I do like is we have to use a particular form and standards of practice thru the Texas Real Estate Commission that we must inspect. With no standards or legal guidelines to go by such as in many unlicensed states such as Florida use to be leaves you wide open for attack on countless items in an Inspection. Personally I ask, What is a home inspection in unlicensed states, Woo Hoo. Or is it they cannot come back on you for anything because there are no set standards and you make it up as you go. Honestly, I forget what it was like 4 years ago in Florida or 24 years ago in Mass when I was inspecting in those states. Well Mass has required licensing for some time now but Florida still does not require licensed Inspectors. All pretty scary to me.

Just as note
