Ed, need help to find eco home inspection in Detroit area

Mackintoshlass

 

I tried to  "Ask ED",  but I got the email back saying the account didn't exist. I had an idea for my husband's boss, he liked the idea, but I can't find any eco home inspection companies in Michigan, let alone in the Detroit area.

HELP!

Have to say I agree with Athena. Home inspectors are by no means omnicient. Even when armed with their gizmos with the flashing lights and buzzers they miss things.

Arm yourself with knowledge and keep asking questions.

I've always wondered why the real estate lady didn't walk around the home with a video camera strapped to her head with signal transmitted to a dozen old retired inspectors watching their screens from their hospital beds,  (or wherever) and telling her what to  turn over or poke.  They then produce an inspection certificate and a video that would really mean something.  

One inspector, no matter how good he is, with a limit of one person's experience, misses all kinds of things that we find as follow up trades.  In most cases, the home inspection, no matter who does it, is next to useless.

Going Green: Renovations for a smaller footprint, not a larger blueprint

Reuse, Reclaim, Recycle - Remodeling and Repairing is Going Green Going green is the new black. Reducing the carbon footprint of the home will reduce the negative impact the home leaves on the environment, lower the cost of bills and even provide some health benefits. The difficulty level of green home upgrades can range depending on the homeowner’s budget and determination.
