I just went through this. I contacted a lawyer who told me to get my house professionally inspected. You can’t mention that the inspection is in case of litigation. No one wants to get involved in that and they won’t return your call or show up. Document everything, the roof, walls, etc in that inspection.

I've had an inspection within the last year; I wonder if that's sufficient to document the state of the house if anything should go wrong?

It’s not. You need one just before they start or have started construction.

that's a question for your lawyer.

I don't have a lawyer; there hasn't even been damage to the house. I'm just trying to do the stuff people say "I wish I'd done" before any construction starts.

Ok I get that….

I guess if it were me, I think it’s worth that hassle and those costs because this is my biggest investment, and would help me sleep at night.

I think this is a suggestion to find a lawyer- Community Legal might be able to give you an actual answer!
