What to know about Home inspectors
A home inspection is a limited, visual, non-invasive look at a house on one day, and almost every dispute about one comes from a buyer expecting something else. Texas, which licenses inspectors and publishes their standards of practice as state rules, defines the work exactly that way: a real estate inspection is a limited visual survey and basic performance evaluation of the systems and components of a building using normal controls, and its rules say an inspector is not required to determine compliance with any code, listing, testing or protocol authority, determine life expectancy or age, inspect anything buried, hidden, latent or concealed, or determine the cause or source of a condition.

- Number of site visits and meetings
- Number of design revisions

How to choose home inspectors in Paramount
- Match the professional to the job: an architect or engineer where the work requires one, a designer for layout and finishes, or an inspector for a condition report.
- Ask whether they are licensed or certified for this type of work in your area, where that applies.
- Review a portfolio or sample report that's similar to your project.
- Get a written agreement that spells out the services, deliverables, number of revisions and how fees are charged.
- Ask whether their drawings will be suitable for a permit application, and whether they'll help with it.
Questions to ask home inspectors before you hire
- Are you licensed or certified for this type of work in my area?
- What exactly will you deliver: drawings, specifications, a report or site visits?
- How are your fees charged: a fixed fee, hourly or based on the project cost?
- How many rounds of revisions are included?
- Will your drawings be ready for a permit application, and will you submit it?
- Can I see a sample of a similar project or report?
- Do you carry professional liability insurance?
Home inspection permits in California
Some home inspection work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common home inspection questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
