Comparing Home Inspectors? Compare Their Reports!
A professional home inspection report should be written using plain everyday English. No inspector-mumbo-jumbo. No technobabble. Just simple understandable words. I give you a comprehensive report with detailed descriptions of what I find wrong and what you need to do about it.
Many other home inspectors simply use a check-list report system where they mark some boxes, scribble a few handwritten notes and they're done. It's great for them because it's quick and easy, but bad for you because you don't get enough detail.
My home inspection reports are clear, thorough, concise, easy-to-read and organized so you can find the information you need quickly. Each one is custom written with a focus on useful and relevant information. If something isn't right, I'll tell you why and what to do about it. I also include illustrations and digital photos to help explain things (especially useful for out-of-town buyers).
Reports are normally ready the next business day following the inspection. They can be delivered by e-mail, FAX or even the old-fashion way through the US Mail.

Note to my fellow home inspectors
A few times per year I get calls asking where to purchase the software that I use to prepare my reports. You can't. I wrote the software myself with the full intention of marketing it. But quite frankly, I'd rather inspect houses than provide endless hours of software support. I'm simply not interested in selling the program. I suggest you try Mark Cramer's home inspection reporting system.
