Inspection/Engineer Question

What qualifications did your engineer have when inspecting your home - structural engineer or home inspector (not structural)?

Ours was actually both which is unusual. Actuallly, it is only recently that they made home inspectors' licensing a bit more comprehensive and difficult to obtain. I think Nassau and/or Suffolk just passed more stringent requirements in the past few months.

I guess there were too many fly-by-night guys out there with the housing boom.

We had an engineer do the inspection on our home. We almost went to contract on another house and we had a regular inspector do that one and I thought it was far too generic. They just checked off on a check-list. I felt it was such a waste of money and for the next inspection I found an engineer. He spent 4 hours at our home and brought in an independent contractor to do the termite certification.

We had an engineer do the insepction as well. He was very thorough. He took his time and explained everything to us. I noticed he would make sure I understood what he was saying too, and I appreciated that. He overnighted a huge binder with pics and explanations.

Here's his website if you're interested. He charged us $475
