Interesting Fact: - Colorado State Law does not regulate the Home Inspection Industry. This means that it is possible for an individual to become a Home Inspector without meeting any requirements to become a Home Inspector such as, showing proof of related technical training or substantial past experience, showing proof of membership in a Professional Home Inspection Association, or showing proof of E&O and General Liability Insurance – Isn’t this SCARY?
This is why it is so very important when shopping around for a Home Inspector to ask questions about the Inspectors Qualifications & Certifications, Membership in Professional Home Inspection Associations, Hours of Annual Home Inspection Training Completed, proof of E&O and General Liability Insurance, Background Experience, How many Property Inspections has the Home Inspector Performed in his/her career, in addition to Pricing. However if you are shopping for Price alone, you will find you may be able to save a few bucks for a less experienced or less qualified Home Inspector, but what will the Home Inspector miss or simply choose not inspect during the Inspection? Is the risk worth saving a few bucks?
