Don't for get the thong David for the long seductive lean overs to check the kitchen drain. Get the blue ones that just peak over the belt loop . Not too revealing but just a eye catcher lol.

I've never worn jeans to an inspection although I don't think anyone would say anything if you did. On the other hand just because they don't say anything about your jeans does not mean you area leaving as good an impression as you could.

I wear an embroidered button down shirt, embroidered cap, clean, and pressed, khakis, and clean shoes. The khakis will wear out faster than jeans but you can pick them up for around 20 bucks so no big deal there.

Save the jeans for the attic and/or crawl.

If Alan Jackson can wear holes in his jeans at the CMA Awards, I didn't think he'd mind mine (without the holes) when I inspected his house!

I have never, nor have I ever considered wearing anything else!
Oh well!

I get all kinds of comments on my safari vest with all my electrical test equipment sticking out all over, but nobody's ever said anything about my blue jeans!

Clean shoes!
You must have clean shoes!
I have received many comments about wearing slippers inside the house as it is greatly appreciated that you keep the dirt outside.

I don't wear jeans so I can get them dirty, I have overalls and a wetsuit for those unmentionable places.

I would never show up to a subsequent inspection with dirty clothes (or saturated with sweat). Bring a changed with you!

I like to wear khakis to home inspections, the shirt is embroidered with company logo. I do were jeans on occasion though. I think it is more important that the whole look go together. Well branded, truck clean and neat(at least on the outside). Cloths must not be: worn, dirty, wrinkled, old or not fit properly. A belt should always be worn, clean shaven, clean shoes and neat hair cut. The branding should go from your truck, to your shirt, to your business card and to the report. The best one of all is smile, smile when you meet your clients and smile when you answer the phone!
