Understanding Home Inspectors’ Role in Contractor Referrals
Can home inspectors refer or endorse contractors for repairs after an inspection? While it’s common for home inspectors to offer recommendations, it’s crucial they avoid any conflicts of interest.

By adhering to these standards, they uphold their professionalism and protect their reputation, providing unbiased advice to clients while maintaining trust within the industry.
