4 out of 5 stars H.I. Review   November 11, 2007
It's a good book, very thorough, but with a lot of typos, some of which are confusing. Other than that, I'm learning a lot.


2 out of 5 stars Not for the beginning Inspector   March 7, 2005
  7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I used this book as a text to getting certified and my foot in the door to starting my own business. Thank Heavens I have a fair amount of background in many of the fields already. The author strikes me as someone who used a filing cabinet of notes and articles to assemble a book without refining the thoughts before they went to press. I was disappointed that a school would choose this text for it's students. Despite that, and the typos, some good information can be gleened from it's pages.


3 out of 5 stars Solid foundation but not covering all details   December 16, 2004
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

this is a good book to start with but the problem is it tried to cover everything in just 1 book. if you really want to become a professional home inspector you definitely need to read more on each individual topics (HVAC, Plumbing etc). but as a textbook for the prelicensing course of home inspector this book is ok.


1 out of 5 stars Forget about it   April 12, 2003

As mentioned by other reviewers - This book has many typos and incomplete sentences that don't make sense. The diagrams in the book are so grainy that they're almost useless. The material content of the book is not detailed and only barely scrapes the surface of the most important items. My suggestion - forget about this one!


5 out of 5 stars The Bible of Home Inspection   December 4, 2002

If your serious about a career in home inspection or your curious about how your home works, this is the book. Well thought out and full of information on the systems, components and construction of your home.
