News:

As of February 1, 2012, there is a new wind mitigation form, 1802, that may be required for all insurance policies. It may also be advantageous for you to get an inspection done on the new form as some discounts that were improperly taken away as a result of mistakes on the old form, may now be available.

Here is a sample of the new wind mitigation form: 2012 Wind Mitigation Report

 

To all potential Clients: Whether you choose Magnum Inspections Inc. to perform your inspection or someone else, make sure you check out your inspectors credentials and get a sample of  his inspection report.

Now that licensing has taken effect, being "licensed" will not guarantee that your inspector is competent enough to perform a through, comprehensive inspection. Some newly licensed inspectors, may not have even performed a single inspection. Do you want to be their first? Other inspectors may have only performed the minimum 120 inspections to take advantage of the "grandfathering" clause in the home inspection law.

Some inspectors may also be contractors who merely took a test to get licensed. These may be the same contractors that were performing the work, which is found deficient at numerous inspections. These inspectors offer discount pricing in order to get their "foot in the door" and then sell the Client or Seller repairs.

Choose your inspector very, very, carefully!!!!

As per the Home Inspection Licensing Law, All clients are required to read, fill out and sign the Standards of Practice/Pre-Inspection Agreement, prior to performing any inspection. The form is located HERE.

Here is the section of the law that pertains to this issue:
