Sample Report
It’s Essential That You Preview a Potential Inspector’s Home Inspection Report Before Hiring Them…
The top home inspectors in today’s business don’t produce handwritten reports (and that’s why it’s important you ask to see a sample report BEFORE you select a home inspector… because if you see a handwritten report, run the other way).
A professional inspector will provide a combination checklist/narrative report. Technology has evolved where you should expect to receive a full-color report on site, with digital photographs of the issues discovered during the course of the inspection. The report should provide “Summary Pages” with specific explanations of Major Concerns, Safety Issues and Deferred Cost Items, etc.
The report should not contain repair costs or action plans for repairs. Professional home inspectors inspect — they don’t repair! An inspector that makes repairs should always be avoided due to the conflict of interest inherent in that situation.
