Which inspector most represents your attire on an inspection?

[Brian E. Kelly]

Depends on my mood.

I couldn't find the image with the Coonskin hat so I hit 5

I wear my snake huntin' outfit.

[Mark A. Timpani, CMI]

also did not see the link-- #6

[Dean A. Conrad]

I try to appear as a 5 or 6. No jeans or sneakers. I also bring a second pair of shoes or booties, especially if the house is still occupied or the buyers plan to keep the carpeting. I'm not as careful if extensive renovations are planned. The last thing I want to do is spread tar from the roof or driveway into the house.

Owners and buyers are always impressed by my consideration when I change shoes or don booties.

#5 or 6 Always wear slippers inside.
Gotta love a job where you can wear slippers

Good luck with the opening of the electrical panel (w/ slippers)....

I'd be curious as to how Bkelly 2 managed to be in all 10 categories?

I wear a pair of black denim work pants with a black button-up collared work shirt from Marks Work Warehouse. Got the free (white/black) InterNACHI patches from Lisa and had the wife sew them on the pocket or sleeve of all the shirts. I also wear steel-toed work shoes and bring along a pair of "indoor only" sneakers to wear inside if necessary.

I wear dickies twotone collared shirts and dickies shorts in summer and dickies pants in winter. I look professional but can get dirty without ruining the uniform. I feel if you are doing a good inspection you will get dirty. But you can still look like a professional. I would wear a tie but it just gets in the way and is unsafe near moving parts like the furnace or A/C units.

Really depends on what is standard in your area. I wear clean jeans and a logo shirt. Usually wear tennis shoes because they are good on roofs and do less damage to shingles in hot weather. In my area, bankers wear jeans.

I wear booties over my safety shoes of course...

They are a conversation piece especially since I don't wear a match!

[Tim Spargo]

Logo Polo, Die Hard Boots and Cargo/Carpenter shorts in summer (I'm out in 100 +) and a casual pant in winter. I try to keep in shape for the most part, but, the ladder/view thing I hadn't thought of. OOOPS.

I also carry a change of clothes.

I always inspect in a 5.11 uniform {HRT} that is flame retardant and equipped with padded elbow and knees as well as a "Mandarin" collar. A crew neck moisture wicking under shirt is comfortable when in confined spaces; durable and well made for the crawl spaces. Always dress for safety when on an assignment - not for the fashion police. OOPS, can't say always as in the posed mold inspection photo. The South Lake Tahoe chalet was covered with "apparent mold" growth in January. The Inspector lacks safety glasses, mask, gloves and booties. The Booties were eaten by the Fungi by the time the Inspector reached the stairwell.

Why flame retardant? Because of a service panel flash?
