What if something significant is discovered after we've already moved in — is that on you?

Illustrative — not a real business

It depends on whether the issue was something reasonably observable and within the scope of a standard inspection versus something genuinely hidden or outside that scope, as discussed earlier — those are two different situations with different answers. We carry errors and omissions insurance specifically for the case where something within our reasonable scope was genuinely missed, and if you believe that has happened, the right first step is to call us directly rather than assume there is no recourse; we take that conversation seriously and will send someone back out to assess the specific concern in most cases at no charge. In most states, home inspectors are also licensed and regulated, and the state licensing board provides a formal complaint process if a resolution with the inspector directly does not feel adequate — we will tell you how to reach that board if you ever feel you need to. A fair-minded response from us in a genuine miss looks like acknowledging it plainly, explaining what we can and cannot do about it now, and working in good faith toward some resolution — not becoming defensive or citing scope limitations as a way to avoid an honest conversation about a real mistake.
