Our report
Conversation that happens on the day of the inspection may be forgotten, so the report serves as a written record of the inspection.
If you would like to get an idea of the quality of service you will receive, you should request a sample copy of an inspection company’s written report. Although many companies will have them available for download at their web sites, other companies have not even bothered to make sample reports available. A refusal to this request should be regarded with suspicion. We have seen many home inspection reports on other company web sites, and aside from obvious spelling mistakes and poor grammar, many of these reports are really hard to read -- being jammed with redundant disclaimers and vague sentence fragments, leaving very little useful information.
We feel that on-site, or "checklist", reports that some inspection companies use are an inferior product. They usually include lots of extra general information that may not be applicable to your house. House-specific information is typically brief at best...assuming you can read the handwriting.
Our narrative, printed report, with annotated, large, color, digital photos, is 100% property-specific and is very clear and easy to read. Our reports average 40-50 pages in length, for the typical house or building (co-ops 15 - 20 pages; condos 25 - 30 pages). Costs estimates are provided for major items where appropriate. The written report arrives in 2-3 business days. However, an email copy is provided within one business day after the inspection, usually by mid-morning. Reports can also be made available on this web site, accessible with a user-ID/password. After the verbal report at the end of the inspection, you will have a very good idea about what issues are present in the house. The report is comprehensive and can be used as a reference, or owner's manual, for your home and building for years to come.
We are proud to have a full sample report available here for your perusal so that you can see ahead of time the type of quality work you will receive.
Inspection reports delivered by email are in universal PDF format. If you don’t have the Adobe PDF reader, it’s a free download.
