Anybody have a good destructive inspection agreement? Removing siding to verify hold-downs.
Sorry for the earlier mistype.
What in the world is that?
A paper shredder…

Destructive - you mean like taking things apart and/or removing something?
What’s “removing aiding to verify hold downs” mean?
I am not sure what you’re asking here.

‘Aiding’ was supposed to be ‘siding’.
Just get something in writing that the owner said it was okay for you to do it, with their signature.

Thats What I was thinking
Be careful with work outside the scope of home inspection, depending of the home age there are asbestos and lead paint implications. I do not know if your state/city require contractor license for such work like in New York City, however if building was constructed before 12/31/1978 you should be EPA - RRP trained and license to avoid an astronomical fine.
Asbestos is another item that may be hidden.

Yeah, it’s called a Maryland Home Improvement Contractor agreement. It requires a lobotomy, 20K surety bond, GL/WC coverage, and, of course, a separate license.
