Is anyone here a Home Inspector?

[solomon751]

"turn a screwdriver" is a euphemism for being hired to work on anything in the home that was identified as a deficiency in the home inspection report. Ironically most furnace access panels are a lift-off type that aren't held on with screws or bolts. Not to split any hairs...

As far as professional licensing is concerned, Colorado has NO home inspector licensing requirements. That is why I mentioned ASHI as they have continuing education, standards of practice, and ethical requirements in order to maintain a membership in good standing.

Sounds like you have had a bad experience with home inspectors in the past - for that I don't know what to say. There are dirt bags in every profession and unfortunately can permeate every aspect of the professional trades.

I could not agree more, there are dirtbags in every field licensed or not.
Good luck on your future home purchase

Grandad used to tell me, "When you are neck deep in a hole, you are all alone and the water is starting to rise, Stop diggin."

I think that would be some useful advice here.
