What CCMI Actually Means

To earn the Certified Master Inspector designation, an inspector has to complete 1,000 fee-paid inspections and pass an additional examination through the Master Inspector Certification Board. Right now, fewer than 3% of working inspectors in the US hold it.

Why does that gap matter?

Because an inspection is only worth what the inspector knows. Most defects aren't hard to see once you know what you're looking at. But knowing which patterns in an older house matter, knowing what to flag versus what to leave alone, knowing how to explain what you found in plain language — that's the product. The license gets you in the door. The experience tells you what to do once you're there.

Both Timothy Thrasher and Neal Thrasher hold the CCMI designation. When you hire Centsable Inspections, you're not getting someone who passed a test a couple of years ago and bought some equipment.

You're getting someone who has been through enough houses to know which things are worth losing sleep over — and which ones aren't. That's the actual value of an inspection. Not the report. The judgment.
