Why Do You Need a Renovation Inspection?

Your dream project is finished, and you couldn’t be happier. Everything looks amazing. It’s perfect!

…or is it? 

Without the expertise of a professional inspector, you won’t know for sure. Even if your renovation project was expensive, and you don’t want to spend the extra cash, think again!

When you receive a renovation inspection right away, and problems are found, you can take that report straight to the contractors you hired. A renovation inspection report offers you solid proof that they made an error. 

As long as you have taken the time to choose quality contractors who believe in superior customer service, they will want to make it right without additional charges.

Why should I hire an inspector?

If a contractor builds something, it should be done correctly. Every home improvement project known to mankind has a right way to do it. But many contractors cut corners or rush through important steps. We also need to remember that they are human and can make mistakes too!

Regardless of why something went wrong, when it does you won’t always detect it. If you knew exactly how to do it, you would probably do it yourself, right? 

Skip the DIY Pro

You might consider saving money by calling over your cool uncle or best friend. They DIY everything so why can’t they inspect your project after it’s done?

Skip the “DIY pro inspection”, no matter how good they are.

At the end of the day, their words mean nothing because they aren’t certified.

Authority Means Success

Even if you really trust your cool uncle or best friend, and they find a big problem, their word holds zero authority. The contractor could easily argue with you and refuse to fix their mistakes. 

But a professional inspector’s word is gold, especially if you choose one with a high reputation. As a certified and licensed authority in the field, inspectors are trusted to save lives by evaluating the safety of structures, building components, and major appliances. 

If a contractor tries to fight an inspection report, you can take legal action against them and use the report as evidence.

What is a renovation inspection?

A renovation inspection is a post-remodel or post-repair inspection that professionally assesses the work performed by contractors. It’s performed by an inspector with a meticulous eye for detail who could build the project themselves. 

When you hire an inspector to assess a renovation project, you are buying an ally that will look out for your best interests and ensure that you get exactly what you paid for. With their report in hand, you can feel at ease knowing that your project will be safe and well made.

When should I call the inspector?

It’s always best to consult with your inspector before the project begins. They understand the steps of the process and what they should be present for. They don’t have x-ray vision and may need to check in at certain times for optimum accessibility.

For instance, if you are having electrical work done, you do not want to call the inspector after they have fixed the walls. He or she will want to evaluate as much of the wiring as possible to spot fire hazards.

Effective Teamwork Creates Beautiful Projects

A professional contractor will not be surprised if you want to set up an inspection schedule. They are used to pausing their construction at specific intervals to allow an inspector to check their work.

If they care about their customers and have pride in their craftsmanship, your contractors will want an inspector to catch mistakes and help them to construct your project safely and efficiently.
