I third and fourth Andy Merritt. He's not just 10% better than most, he's on a whole different level.
By buying three or four houses in the area and getting screwed the first time around. In my case we bought a rental in edelweiss and inspector found a roofing nail too close to a gas line. He seemed to miss the 12 patched up places of plumbing in the attic where the nail was too close. Cost me $5k to replumb the house plus sheet rock and paint.Esteban du Plantier said:nthomas99 said:

How do you go about quantifying how good one inspector is against another?
