Just realized I spent $1200 on a home inspection that missed major foundation cracks... should these reports come with some kind of guarantee?

Guarantee? You got the 'looks good from my house' special.

Actually, that phrase usually means the work is sloppy and only looks okay from a distance. It's a joke about bad quality, not a real guarantee. People say it when something is done fast and wrong. The point is there is no guarantee at all. It's the opposite of a promise of good work.

Ha, you got me there @ray_patel27. I actually used to think that phrase was just a casual joke about something being decent enough. But seeing it spelled out like that with stella904's explanation, yeah I totally get it now. It's like when you're standing far back from a painting and it looks fine but up close it's a mess. Makes sense why people say it when work is half-baked.
