Most Ohioians are unaware of the changes in Ohio law. Ohio now has a statewide residential building code. Effective date 27 May 2006.
It is called the Residential Code of Ohio. Why is this important?
Because no matter where you build or remodel in the state there is now one standard. This is important for both the general public and Realtors to know. There are many areas of the state that have no residential building inspections.
This is of extra importance when recommending someone to inspect the new build or remodel.
Residential Building Inspectors LLC has the certifications required to perform these inspections.
There are many companies that claim to be certified to perform new construction inspections, but can they show you certifications issued by The State of Ohio?
Whouldn't you or you clients want an inspection by someone who has met the strict requirements set by The State of Ohio.
