Oral and Written Report

With your home inspection, you will get an immediate oral report and an emailed detailed and comprehensive inspection report, that same day. Both will serve as your guide for as long as you own the home. Both reports, not only describes the house components and their condition, but also provides insight into what improvements might be necessary, and when.

The home inspection oral and written report you receive, describes each of the major systems of the home, including:

The reports address the condition of each of these systems.  Recommended repairs, replacements or improvements are documented. The report also includes a color coded summary of significant (SIG), minimal,(MIN),  up grade recommended (UGR), or just informational (INFO) issues for quick reference.

The summary is often the most important part of the report for people making their purchase decision and/or in negotiating your final purchase/sell price.
