We’ve all hired someone who does work “on the side.”

What this means is that he or she has a full-time job. It also means that he or she does other work on evenings and weekends — on the side.

Hiring a part-time painter might be a good idea as long as you’re able to monitor his or her work. Hiring a part-time home inspector when buying a home isn’t a wise choice.

Buying a home isn’t the time to “roll the dice” with a part-time inspector.

After all, a home is likely your family’s biggest investment. Buying the “right” home can provide your family with years of happiness. Buying a home with major issues can result in years of aggravation and tens of thousands of dollars in expensive and unforeseen repairs.

Part-time home inspectors typically do the absolute minimum to maintain their certifications. Working a full-time job and performing home inspections in the evenings or on their days off leaves part-time home inspectors little time to stay up on the latest codes and construction methods. A part-time home inspector may miss issues a full-time inspector will easily recognize.

Many full-time inspectors have performed thousands of inspections. The most experienced inspectors have seen anything one can ever see in a home. A full-time inspector has taken dozens of continuing education courses over a period of years. As this is a full-time inspector’s only profession, he or she is committed to being the best. A full-time inspector has made the financial and time commitment that a part-time inspector can’t or won’t.
