Recommendation on Home Inspector With General Contracting Experience (Gorman: new home, construction)

[ORoss]

Hi Everyone,

I have a pre-drywall inspection coming up in several weeks and wanted to begin my search for an appropriate inspector. I'd prefer it be performed by someone who also holds a General Contracting; as well as, a home inspector's license. Previous posts on this topic are bit dated.

You're recommendations are appreciated.

I highly recommend Gary Gorman. He inspected our new Ryan home. He was extremely thorough, professional, and knowledgeable.

Is this for construction in your home? You MAY need to have a city inspector come out and inspect the work, especially if the structural work behind it is new or replacement work.

The house is being built by Standard Pacific and will have all the required inspections. The pre-drywall inspection is above and beyond the county check. It's the last opportunity to discover issues before the walls are closed and is one of the most important inspections in the process.

I had never heard of it referred to as a pre-drywall inspection, but it makes sense. I did some searching about this final check. I can see why it's worthwhile. The You Tube clips that I found are interesting. I think every homeowner could learn something, even if he's not building a house.
