How To Choose a Home Inspector

Connecticut Home Inspector
It Pays To Do Some Research Before Hiring a Home Inspector
  • States have varying requirements for licensing home inspectors. Check with your state to see which companies are licensed and insured.
  • You can also check state websites and the Better Business Bureau for any complaints regarding a specific inspection company.
  • Experience matters. The longer a company or individual inspector has been in business the better. Angie's List recommends hiring an inspector who has performed a minimum of 1000 inspections and has at least 5 years of experience.
  • Check for industry affiliations, normally a good sign that an inspector is qualified (ASHI, InterNachi, NAHI, etc.)
  • Consider hiring an independent home inspector (someone not recommended by your Realtor) to avoid any possible conflict of interest. ​​

  • Ask your friends and family for references. Check an inspector's references before hiring.
  • Go online to check reviews (Angie's List, Yelp, Google, Bing).
