About Scott Medlin
Licensing of home inspectors only sets a minimum standard. Much like being up to code, any less would be illegal. That's why I have worked to become a member of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI). As a NACHI member, I:
Pass NACHI's Online Inspector Examination every year. This general, not association-specific exam is an industry standard required by NACHI and some state licensing boards,
Adhere to the industry's largest, most comprehensive Standards of Practice,
Abide by NACHI's Code of Ethics,
Follow a strict continuing education policy that requires, among other things, that I receive 24 hours of continuing education each year,
Have completed NACHI's ethics "obstacle course" which ensures that I am aware of my ethical duties as a home inspector,
Have passed NACHI's Standards of Practice quiz,
Have signed and submitted an affidavit legally agreeing that I have and will continue to adhere to all NACHI standards, ethics and education requirements,
Maintain a continuing education log that is verified by NACHI,
Submit a portion of my inspection reports to NACHI's report review committee for outside evaluation,
Am required to successfully complete NACHI's comprehensive Standards of Practice course and examination, Roofing course and examination, Structural course and examination and Electrical course and examination,
Attend at least one chapter meeting or educational seminar every two years (reasonable exceptions apply),
Have access to the Inspector's Quarterly so I can keep up-to-date on all the latest issues in the home inspection industry,
Have access to a number of learning tools such as inspection tips and technique illustrations, a library of home inspection books and videos, the industry's largest message board, NACHI's "what's new" publication of recent inspection news, Dear NACHI," a detailed advice column, free online courses, quizzes, and exams, and the NACHI University,
Have access to a time-tested agreement that helps avoid lawsuits,
Have access to a free report review and mentoring service,
Have access to the NACHI Mall, and
Provide access to a free consumer hot-line.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions:
<!-- --><!-- -->Q: How long does the inspection take?
A: Most inspections run 2 to 3 hours. This varies depending on the size, age and condition of the property. The report is ready within 24 hours of the inspection.
Q: Why use an inspector?
A: Buyers: You deserve to feel confident that the major systems in your new home are inspected prior to your purchase. At Confidence Home Inspection, we inspect the interior and exterior providing a detailed report so you have a professional's opinion of the property you are purchasing.
Sellers: Include our report in your marketing presentation. Advertising your home as "pre-inspected" can be a plus. Avoid the anxiety and expense of last minute repairs by discovering any potential problems up front.
Agents/Brokers: Recommending a property inspection to your clients is a good way to help reduce the liability of all parties involved in today's real estate transactions.
Home Owners: You can't put a price tag on peace of mind. Home owners purchasing home inspections rest easy knowing items of concern have been caught early allowing them to be addressed before they become costly repairs.
Home Warranty Inspections: If your home warranty is about to expire, now is the time to inspect. Let us detail any defects or items in need of repair before your warranty expires. The investment in an inspection pays for itself when costly warranty repairs are brought to light.
Q: What is included in the inspection?
A: We offer comprehensive inspections including, but not limited to, the following items:
-Foundation
-Exterior Finishes
-Structure
-Basement/Crawlspace
-Heating and A/C Systems
-Electrical Systems
-Plumbing Systems
-Roofing and Flashing

-Garage/Carport
-Patios/Decks/Balconies
-Sprinkler Systems
-Interior floors, walls and ceilings
-Fireplaces
-Kitchens and bathrooms
-Built-in appliances
-Pool and Spa Inspections
Q: Should new homes be inspected?
A: Absolutely. Even buyers of new homes should not assume that all components of the property are functioning properly.
Q: Do homes "pass" or "fail" inspections?
A: No. The report simply details the condition of the property at the time of inspection and identifies items in need of repair. For buyers the report can sometimes be used to help negotiate repairs with the seller before closing. For sellers the report can help allow factoring in the cost of repairs into the selling price.
Q: Should the inspector be licensed in the state of Texas?
A: Yes. In Texas there are three different levels of classification for Home Inspectors: Sponsored Apprentice Inspector, licensed Real Estate Inspector and licensed Professional Inspector. Our Inspector is a licensed Professional Inspector. The Texas Real Estate Commission has specific requirements for each level. The Professional Inspector designation is the most difficult to attain as it requires more education and experience and a higher score on the difficult state licensing exam. Sixteen hours of continuing education are also required for the annual license renewal.
