Any new Florida Inspectors need a ride along?

Inspection went really well. Roy is very knowledgeable and gave me some good insight and as a bonus we were surprised with a home that showed lots of signs of chinese drywall. Thanks again Roy! It was a pleasure.

Hi Mr. Roy Lewis, Do you still do Ride Alongs? I’m in Florida, currently working on getting my license. If you do, do you require the Home Inspectors License to be obtained before you will allow a ride along?

Thanks in advance,
Beau

@bpennington3

do you require the Home Inspectors License to be obtained before you will allow a ride along?

Yes! For liability reasons.

[bpennington3 (Beau Pennington)]

Ok, thank you.

Roy I have talked to you before and have a lot of respect for you and your experience and have a ton of little stupid questions I would love to throw at you over a day. I am disappointed I am only now seeing this. I would love to do a ride along with you and pick a few things up the next time you offer this.

[jwhitney5 (Joshua Whitney)]

New to the business I will be reading this carefully. If you have anything else you see as helpful I would be grateful.

[rlewis5 (Roy Lewis, CERTIFIED MASTER INSPECTOR RETIRED)]

Check your messages.

[mherring (Matt Herring)]

Roy, I got my license a week ago. I would LOVE a chance to ride along with you if you ever are interested in doing something like that again. I paid for a three day weekend live training class in Tampa but they cancelled because of Covid so I’m having trouble finding real world experience. I’m over in Dixie County, so High Springs isn’t too far at all for me!
