So, I have two inspectors in mind. One is recommended by my parents, he does general contracting work for them. The other is a service recommended by my realtor. It's a little bit of a hard decision because the guy has done some good work for my parents and I plan on seeing what he'll be able to do for me when I need stuff done, but from my reading, you need special licensing to be able to inspect a home for certain things (at least according to this article on about.com). The most important (other than the general home inspection) would be termites. Of course, the only real way I can know is to ask, and I will do that when I call him later today.
The other recommendation (the one from my realtor) is Inspect-All Services. They seem to be a good company, and have good reviews across the internet. Plus they can definitely do the inspections I want. The only problem is, I'm sure they'll be more expensive than my parent's contractor.
In the end though, I'll have to go with whichever I feel will do a better job, no matter the cost. Can you really put a price on peace of mind?
