What is a home inspector apprentice?

A Home Inspector Apprentice is a trainee who works under the supervision of a licensed home inspector to learn the skills needed for the profession. They assist in evaluating residential properties, inspecting structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, and other key home features. Apprentices gain hands-on experience, develop report-writing skills, and learn to identify potential safety and maintenance issues. This role is a stepping stone to becoming a fully licensed home inspector.

What does a typical day look like for a home inspector apprentice?

As a Home Inspector Apprentice, your typical day involves shadowing an experienced home inspector, assisting with on-site evaluations of residential properties, and learning how to document findings through detailed inspection reports. You’ll frequently interact with property owners, real estate agents, and other team members to address questions and gather relevant information. Apprenticeships often include hands-on training with inspection tools and software, as well as ongoing education to build your technical knowledge. This structured, supportive environment helps you gain practical skills and prepares you for independent inspections and potential certification in the future.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the home inspector apprentice position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Home Inspector Apprentice, you need a basic understanding of building systems, strong observational skills, and a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with inspection tools, digital reporting software, and a willingness to pursue relevant state certifications are essential. Attention to detail, effective communication, and a strong work ethic are key soft skills that help you stand out. These skills are crucial for accurately identifying issues, producing thorough reports, and delivering excellent service to clients during property inspections.

How much do home inspector apprentices make?

Home inspector apprentices typically earn between $12 and $20 per hour, depending on location, experience, and the company. As they gain skills and certifications, their pay can increase, and some may transition into full inspector roles with higher salaries.

Done Right Chimney is hiring a Chimney & Hearth Apprentice for hands-on, year-round field work.

This role is a good fit for someone who wants to learn a skilled trade, work outdoors, use tools, and grow with a local family-owned company. You will work alongside experienced technicians while learning chimney inspections, sweeping, repairs, liners, venting, light masonry, and hearth-related work.

This is not a desk job. The work can involve ladders, roofs, tools, physical labor, changing weather, customer homes, photos, job notes, and following company safety procedures.

We are looking for someone reliable, safety-minded, coachable, respectful, and willing to learn the right way.

What You’ll Do:
  • Assist with chimney inspections and sweeping.
  • Help with chimney repairs, liners, caps, chase covers, and venting systems.
  • Assist with light masonry repairs such as repointing, crown coating, and waterproofing.
  • Help with wood, pellet, gas, and electric stove or insert-related work.
  • Carry tools, ladders, materials, and equipment.
  • Set up, clean up, and maintain safe job sites.
  • Work on ladders, scaffolding, and rooftops as part of routine duties.
  • Take photos and use job management software for documentation and reporting.
  • Communicate respectfully with technicians, office staff, and customers.
  • Learn chimney, hearth, masonry, and venting systems over time.

What We’re Looking For:
  • Reliable, punctual, and dependable.
  • Comfortable with physical work and working outdoors year-round.
  • Comfortable working on ladders, scaffolding, and rooftops.
  • Safety-conscious and willing to follow procedures.
  • Honest when you do not know something.
  • Willing to learn, take feedback, and improve.
  • Respectful in customers’ homes and on job sites.
  • Detail-oriented and willing to document work properly.
  • Interested in long-term growth in a skilled trade.
  • Valid driver’s license and clean driving record.

Helpful Experience, But Not Required:
  • Construction, masonry, roofing, HVAC, maintenance, landscaping, warehouse, delivery, military, or other hands-on work.
  • Basic hand tool or power tool experience.
  • Customer service experience.
  • OSHA or other safety training.

Physical Requirements:
  • Ability to perform hands-on field work.
  • Ability to lift and carry tools, materials, ladders, and equipment.
  • Ability to work outdoors in changing weather.
  • Ability to work on ladders, scaffolding, rooftops, and around customer homes.
  • Ability to follow safety procedures and company standards.

What We Offer:
  • Paid training.
  • In-house training and support toward external certifications.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Health insurance reimbursement.
  • Paid holidays and PTO.
  • Company tools, uniforms, and safety gear provided.
  • Stable, full-time, year-round work.
  • Opportunity to grow in a respected, in-demand trade.

Our Core Values:
At Done Right Chimney, how we work matters. We value:
  • Safety First.
  • Integrity.
  • Craftsmanship.
  • Dependability.
  • People Over Profits.
  • Continuous Improvement.

We often say, “We know better, so we do better.”

That means we are looking for someone who wants to learn the right way, take pride in their work, and be part of a team that cares about doing the job safely and correctly.

Done Right Chimney is a proud member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG) and supports team members in pursuing professional development and certification.

If you are reliable, hands-on, safety-minded, and ready to learn a skilled trade, we would like to hear from you.
