The Do-It-YourselfHomeInspection.com handbook is the most comprehensive and thorough book for do-it-yourself home inspections on the market. We are not by any means replacing the professionals, however, the professionals do not always see everything. Most cosmetic defects do not make it on their checklist and when it comes time to move in this can make the difference between moving right in or spending weeks fixing all the little stuff.
The Do-It-YourselfHomeInspection.com handbook will take you step by step through each phase of a home inspection. You will also be able to use this as an outline for negotiations at contract time and/or instruction manual for any future home improvement projects in the future.
