Do inspectors know how much repairs should cost?
Experienced inspectors of homes or other buildings, particulary those with construction background knowledge generally will know typical or average repair or replacement costs. State of California adminstrative law precludes inspectors from bidding on repairs to “material defects” discovered. Whether or not attached to negotiations in closing on a property, estimates should come from qualified persons ready, willing and able to perform and guarantee such work. Back to FAQ’s.
