Expert Opinion and Ability

In North Carolina, for a home inspector to be legally in business, he or she must be licensed and insured. Not just anyone is allowed to open a home inspection business.

Most inspectors no how to point out the defects but PBI inspectors are seen construction projects come to life in the field and can provide a deeper level of understanding.


To complete a home inspection, you also need the physical ability. A home inspector will need to be able to climb a ladder, walk a roof, get into the crawl space under a home, and get into other tight spaces such as the attic. If you cannot complete these tasks then it will be easy to miss defects and hazards.


Provide Information to Make a Reasonable Decision
