When "shopping" or comparing prices for a home inspector or home inspections services, remember to
verify that your home inspector is currently state licensed.
Unfortunately, there are people who claim to be "licensed" home inspectors and either are not
licensed or have let their license lapse, you should ALWAYS VERIFY ANY
LICENSE NUMBERSwith the Connecticut State Department of
Consumer Protection
(DCP of CT).
(Tip: HOI identifies licensed home inspectors, HOP identifies home inspector
interns who are still serving apprenticeships under other licensed home
inspectors). Not all home inspectors are ASHI CERTIFIED.
Always verify that they are, just check it out at

Advice on price
shopping: You may save a few dollars now by hiring another company, but is
it really worth it?
Home Buyers:
Why should you hire a licensed, experienced,
insured and well-qualified home inspector, like
G.
Neil Scott, to
perform your home inspection? Because your home is probably the largest
investment you will ever make. Wouldn't you want and need to know about
any past, current, or even future problems or defects with the home that might
cost you thousands of dollars in repairs now or in the future? We, at Scott and
Scott Inc., think you would, and we realize a good home inspection and home
inspection report are extremely important to today's informed home buyers. Most
homeowners do try to maintain their homes as best they can, but most homeowners
do not go or check where Neil will to learn about a home's structural,
electrical, and mechanical integrity. Neil pay's special attention to areas like
attics, basements, and crawl spaces (which are tiny areas under a home and are
sometimes only accessible if you literally "crawl" into them). Neil is
specially trained to know exactly what to look for during a home inspection.
Neil uses specialized tools for testing carbon monoxide levels, tools for
probing areas where moisture and insect damage may be, tools for determining
electrical problems, high powered lights, and binoculars.
Home Sellers:
Why should you hire a licensed, experienced,
insured and well-qualified home inspector, like
Neil Scott, to perform your "pre-sale" home inspection?
Because wouldn't it be worth your while to eliminate renegotiating your sales
price after the buyer has an inspection. What if your perspective buyer hires an unlicensed
and unqualified home inspector? To eliminate many of the "what if"
scenarios, having a "pre-sale" inspection is the
first step to marketing your home to buyers. It will also help you to
accurately complete your seller's disclosure. There will be fewer, if any,
surprise issues that may arise after the potential buyer has their own
inspection.
For
your information...Before beginning any inspection, a Connecticut State licensed home inspector
should be asking you to review and sign the Connecticut Home Inspection
Licensing Board(provided by the Connecticut Department of Consumer
Protection) disclosure
regarding home inspections and what the inspector is required to do. This
document is required by the state to be given to everyone who hires a home
inspector to protect you, the consumer.
At the end of your home inspection with
Scott and Scott, you
will be provided with a detailed and descriptive professional report of your inspection's findings as well as
recommendations for improvements in a tabbed binder which will easily reference
each part of the inspection. The binder also includes a detailed guide on
"how to operate" your home.
Home inspections can be performed for buyers,
sellers, landlord, tenants, and current homeowners. Even if you're considering renovating
your home or have done so and would like the work inspected, hire Scott and
Scott Inc. to get the job done.
We offer reasonable and
competitively priced home inspections for single and multi family homes,
condominiums, cooperatives and we inspect residential rental properties too.
Our main goals are to educate our clients
about the property they are considering buying, selling, leasing, or renovating and uncovering any defects and/or problems before they
proceed with the process. We do the best we can to ensure our clients' home is
safe and they are happy with our services. Scott and Scott Inc.
has saved many homeowners money and stress by finding items which
needed repairing or replacing prior to their purchasing the home we inspect or
giving them a heads up on what they may need to repair or replace in the near
future in their new home. We
also help home sellers by uncovering problems or defects they were not aware of
prior to the sale of their home. These problems can be either fixed or
disclosed which saves home sellers and buyers time on renegotiating the sale price of the home. We
save our clients valuable time by providing them with a timely report customized to the
specific home they are purchasing or selling. We do everything we can to ensure the
home is free of unsafe defects and problems before our clients buy or sell a
home. We take great pride in making our clients happy by providing sincere, honest
services with integrity and dependability during a stressful time in their lives
-- whether they are purchasing, selling, leasing or renovating a home or condominium.
