If you're buying, ensure your biggest investment is safe, functioning, and healthy by getting it inspected. If you own a house, save money by challenging contractors' unnecessary repairs by first calling your unbiased home inspector. If you're renting, your professional inspector can document problems for the landlord to fix before you move in. Every home should be inspected by a certified home inspector. Why? Because not every home is safe and healthy. When you know what's going on in your house, you stop guessing and start knowing. Get educated, get empowered, get inspected.
