A Coeur d'Alene home and mold inspection is no different than a Hayden home inspection, or a home inspection in Post Falls. The difference is in the home inspector. Remember, In Idaho, anyone with a flashlight and a stepladder may call themselves a “home inspector”. Beware of self-proclaimed “certifications”! Only InterNACHI Home Inspectors must successfully pass an examination before being accepted and Certified; over 70% of the applicants fail the exam. Many other inspector "societies" simply allow applicants to send in their membership fee, with no prior experience or testing.
