most of the time the limits of liability is the refunding of the cost
of the estimate. I would contact them for missing it just as a matter
of priciple as it should have been pretty obvious unless it is
difficult to get to that spot?

Did a small repair today on a home that is to be sold. A home
inspection discovered that one section of roof truss is missing. 39
inches is the distance between the second to last and the end roof
trusses. The other trusses are on 2 foot centers. Both the roof
plywood and the ceiling drywall span 39 inches between supports.

The home had been inspected when it was last sold and the home
inspector did not notice the missing truss. Should a home inspector
be responsible for something like that even if the inspection was
done 3 years ago?

Thanks for any input.
