Ok.

I've got General Inspector for 2pm on Thursday. Plumbing Inspector for 3pm on Thursday. Electrical Inspector for 4:30pm on Thursday.

Let's ride fellas!!


Great decision imo. I had inspections done on a home last year and a regular home inspector wont find what a plumber or electrician will find. Also, on a home inspection report, they will usually include to have an area looked into by said specialist because they noticed the area could be suspect.

I had 2 inspectors(1 from BR and one from Nola), an electrician(who doubles as a contractor and can inspect a home), a plumber, and a guy to check the roof. Might have been overkill but the house isnt new.

The plumber found a $36k problem that neither inspector saw.

That's massive.

We plan to stay in this house for a while (>10yrs) if my career doesn't pull me towards Houston, so I figured what the hell when I'm talking 500-1k extra.
