Our experience with the inspectors was mostly good as well. They caught stuff that was important. Sure they made a couple of really nothing-burger minor things get fixed…
The inspector, if they do their job, is making sure your home is safe/to code. Why not have an extra set of eyes. Not all contractors are perfect.
(I made myself LOL with that last line.)
San Diego’s code is mostly to the UBC… but there are deviations/additions. Drove my husband nuts.
I totally agree that you should be looking over the contractor’s shoulder.
