He also called me on the phone to let me know he intends to do the right thing about licensing/advertising.
He was very nice & seems like an honest fellow.

If you hold a contractors license it is your obligation to report unlicensed activity, InterNACHI member or not

Wow. It looks like I learned something new today.

Ok everyone now may pounce because I admitted NOT KNOWING something

It brings the hits and that is great for the site

Hey Mark, there is no need to defend me. I was wrong about the WDO issue and will only use licensed persons to perform those inspections. I removed all of my posts in every forum because I no longer wanted to deal with the underwear trolls, hanging out in mom’s back room, with nothing better to do than scour the internet for lack of anything better to do.

No, if you hold ANY license regulated by FSS 455 you are required to report unlicensed activities…not just contractors(division 1). Don’t forget, as licensed HI’s only, you are not a contractor and can not sub-contract work. You can’t have another person do your WDO, roof, or seawall(retaining wall as there are no seawalls in florida) inspection if you are only a licensed HI. You can give your customer the contact information for the company, but you can not schedule or take payment for other services.
