A license is required to perform wind mitigation inspections.
The way the law reads now is… NACHI Management would be required to be an employer of anyone who is currently not a licensed contractor doing wind mitigation inspections under the license holder.
The field staff performing the inspections under the GC’s license would have to be a W-2 employee covered under the companies workers comp policy. I don’t believe these non-licensed employees could be listed as 1099 sub-contractors.
yes im a GC
All fees will be discussed with applicants when they are set
$50 x 10 per day scheduled on slow days. $500 slow day good money?
I am also driven by success as should all Home Inspectors
I do not perform work on anything less than 4 stories
Feel free to contact me anytime
$500/day? I wasn’t born yesterday and have been an independent businessman most of my life, on top of that I have worked extensively with the public.
My last foray into subcontracting was working for PaRR doing FEMA inspections here in Florida during the 2004 hurricane season.
Here is the deal, we were literally giving away money and scheduling was a nightmare, sometimes 3 trips were necessary to complete the inspection which paid something like $45, yes you could 10-12 a day if you weren’t stood up.
Now imagine this senario… Not only ain’t wind mitigation inspector’s not handing out money they are in fact most likely going to be canceling many homeowner discounts, think scheduling is a nightmare giving stuff away, try scheduling it when you are the adversary.
Once the public catches on to the game you won’t be able to do these inspections except at the homeowners convenience which will most likely be nights & weekends, and just try threating them and you will be the lucky guy who is calling on the mother of a someone connected high up in government who will vow to make your life miserable… and your gonna do all this for a lousy $50 an inspection. Please.
Some may be a problem scheduling, but after three tries to contact the owner to no avail you simply send the inspection back to the Management Vendor and they deal with it from there.
Not saying everything will be peachy, but it can work.
The point might be moot now that there are lawsuits being filed.
The reality is that most of the homes being audited were inspected under the old form.
The only thing the insurance companies really need to do is make everyone get reinspected using the new form by a licensed inspector, that way no audit would be necessary, problem solved and the $50 inspections go to “Bad-Business-Ideas-Heaven” where it belongs.
Near the end of a service life is pretty vague. The roof will fail within a week, a month, a year? Whats NEAR the end of a service life? The report then become more opinion than fact.
This one statement will cause more headaches than anything. Please do use the life expectancy table. 30 year roofs last MAYBE 12 years down here…I don’t care what the warranty says…
I believe the Citizens contract was based on $150 each. Personally I believe the inspector who performs the inspection is entitled to $100, what are your thoughts?
This morning, one of my rental properties was reinspected by Citizens.
Needless to say, I wasn’t going to miss this for the world. The inspector was an out of work Architect. Very professional and did an excellent job. I have NO complaints.
We spoke about the program.
HE was comfortable with the pay. He works 3-4 days for Citizens and still purues his other ambitions on other days. He easily schedules 7-10 a day.
That’s great pay for an out of work Architect between jobs.:neutral:
Not bad money for a guy who’s other lines of income have slowed down. You do not need to be out of work to need a few more dollars. Only time will tell if it is a pain in the a-s or not.
