My experience is that most home inspectors are "generalists" who look over things at a high level. I've asked about foundation, HVAC, roof, pool, electric, etc in the past and each time they have referred me to "specialists." In many cases, I felt more knowledgeable about construction and repair than the inspector.

You might ask for a list of what the home inspector plans to look at before hiring one. Interested in what others here have to say...

They also seem to have one area that they're more knowledgeable in then others. When we sold our home we went through 3 home inspections. Each time we corrected the problem areas but the next inspection found something different that needed repair that had not been found in an earlier inspection.
