When I started doing inspections in 1996, I bought an inspection report writing program that had over 130 pages of defect statements with a 35 page field inspection checklist! What I quickly discovered was even with all those 130 pages of pre-defined statements and that 35 page field inspection checklist I still discovered defects that didn't fit in the inspection report writing program structure, and didn't fit the checklist. I have learned that people can get very creative when it comes to how they build, remodel and repair homes. That's the thing about inspecting homes, every home is a little different and no two homes are exactly the alike!

Okay, so what's the point? Many new inspectors rely on a checklist to inspect a home, I did in the beginning. What if there is a defect that is not on the checklist? Checklists are fine but experience and knowledge is what really makes a difference when it comes to a home inspection.
