Mark Thorman Home Inspectors
The truth about building codes and home inspectors is a complicated issue. The Standards of Practice for the various home inspector associations do not require the home inspector to mention code violations when writing the report. However, most of the inspectors I know do recommend that some key items be code compliant when these items are either a health or a safety issue.
An updated code is issued every three years and there are separate codes for the major systems, i.e. plumbing, electrical and general building. It is up to the building department to adopt the new code as it is not automatically adopted.
As a first time home buyer it’s overwhelming trying to figure out what you’re getting yourself into. Having a professional scope out a property on your behalf goes a long way in helping with the process. Mark was fantastic! He was on time, very professional, incredibly knowledgeable and unbelievably generous with time and knowledge! I’m now confident in the condition of the property we’re purchasing and feel like a better qualified home owner! I highly recommend Mark Thorman Home Inspections if you need your Maui home or condo inspected. I will be using Mark again without question!
