Choosing a home Inspector Experience: A professional Home Inspector should have at least 5 years of experience in residential construction as a builder or major subcontractor. Years as a Home Inspector but no actual construction experience may be of little value. Education: A professional Home Inspector should have at least 2 years at an accredited college or university. A Bachelor of Science degree in architecture, engineering or building construction is very desirable. Short courses on how to be a Home Inspector do not produce quality Home Inspectors. Certification: A professional Home Inspector should certified by a State, Federal or Private agency such as the Colorado State Regulatory Agency for Professional Engineers or the American Society for Home Inspectors (ASHI). Choose a Home Inspector that has all three: Construction Experience, Construction Education and accredited Certification. Tony Garrett, with Home-Spec, has 24 years experience as a building contractor; has Bachelor and Masters Degrees in Engineering from Georgia Tech; and is certified by ASHI, NACHI and is a Colorado licensed engineer. What do Home Inspections cost? The cost of Home Inspections varies widely and so does the quality of the Inspections. In Colorado anyone can be a Home Inspector. No training or certification is required. Typically, a well educated and nationally certified Home Inspector will charge between 10 and 12 cents per square foot of the home. Usually there will be a minimum charge of around $300 for homes or condos smaller than 3000 sq ft. Be wary of Inspectors that charge significantly more or less than these amounts. Home
