The Home Depot has been fined $10,000 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is just a reminder that consumers should always be aware of their surroundings and safety.
For example, the video below shows a worker putting a new light fixture into the house. It’s an easy mistake, but this worker isn’t paying attention, and he ends up falling and hitting his head. That’s a pretty common occurrence for new construction, and it’s something that you can easily avoid for home improvement projects.
We’ve all been there. You’re going to put together a new home, and then end up having a mishap and end up not getting the work done. If you are a DIYer, you should have your home professionally inspected, and, if you are going to be doing a lot of remodeling, you should have that done as well. But, for the biggest home improvement projects, you should get all of the repairs completed right the first time.
With all of the home improvement projects that are going on across the country, the cost of home repairs might be the biggest one that keeps you up at night. While that cost might not be as high as the home inspections, the inspections are going to be much more expensive and take a lot more time. You can avoid this by hiring a professional to inspect your home.
For the most part, the cost of home inspections is relatively cheap. For the most part, the price is based on the number of repairs needed to make your home “work.” The more repairs the more you pay for a home inspection. Generally, your home inspector will give you a number that you can use to go ahead and do your home inspection.
The problem is that all too often, home inspectors come in and do a quick inspection, then charge you for a full inspection. It can be very difficult to keep track of all the different inspectors that might be charging you for an inspection. I don’t know of any home inspector who charges for every single home inspection he performs.
This is why. Your home inspection should cost you money. You need to show the inspector how much you can afford to spend. If your home inspector tells you to do a full inspection and charges you $500 for it, you can’t keep track of who the inspector is, which is usually the case.
I am a home inspector. I earn a very good living doing that. However, I know that my clients dont care about all of the different inspectors that are out there. They only care about the money, which often means that they might not care about all the different ways that their inspector has inspected their home. Thats why I don’t charge to perform an inspection. It’s your home, whether you like it or not.
Sure, I agree. I just spent an hour on the phone with my client, the home depot, explaining my reasoning. His response was “I don’t care about that. They want to charge me for a job that I dont do or dont think is necessary.
This is one of the things that home inspectors that are out there often complain about. When they make a mistake in inspecting their home, they get punished with hefty fines. It’s a big enough problem that the Home Depot is now requiring all of their inspectors to be licensed by the state.
