Licensing and standards of practice for Alabama home inspectors are regulated by the Alabama Department of Finance Real Estate Division. Department of Construction Management  Home Inspector Services.

Home Inspectors are governed by a third party in the state of Alabama. The State of Alabama Department of Finance Division of Construction Management. There is no home inspector board, there is a however a state of Alabama Home Inspector Advisory Committee which functions like a board in some ways. 

We issue a detailed computer-generated inspection report. Griffith Home Analysis has been refining the pre-purchase home inspection report for decades for the purpose of assisting the home buyer. The report includes a summary designed to aid in contract negotiations as well as a detailed report with many photos, illustrations, and descriptions of any maintenance issues that are identified for comprehensive but easy-to-understand report reading. Reports are sent via email.

Home buyers are welcome to attend the inspection and encouraged to arrive at the start of the home inspection. It’s important to be present in order to review a significant defect if found. This is also a great opportunity to measure areas and make plans for the move.

Typical home inspections take 2 hours to 3 hours but smaller homes in good condition can be quicker and larger complex homes will obviously take longer. Homes with many defects or complicated defects will also take longer. It varies greatly. We recommend that our clients allow about 2 hours on an average home and typical inspection result. We don’t type reports on site. Our inspection reports are generated back at the office and this saves our clients some time on site and results in a better quality of the report.
