Standard Home Inspection (Sample Report)

A standard home inspection covers a variety of systems and components. The typical coverage includes the foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, garage, permanently installed appliances, landscape and fence barrier.

In addition, we deploy a foundation level tool at our inspections to better understand and render the most valuable opinion.

What is included with our inspections services?

Detailed and expedited reporting

We aim to make our reports easy to read and provide photos along with them to better understand the problem. We give as much information at possible, both structural and cosmetic. No filters. The more detail, the more bargaining power. Generally, we aim to have your report ready for your review that same evening.

An inspector who is not afraid to get his hands dirty

I have personally been on ride-alongs where inspectors avoid areas because of dirt or dust. Most of the hidden deficiencies are in corners and small areas where people avoid. Of course, safety and respect to the home comes first.

1 on 1 Consultation (if requested)

We do not just provide a deliverable and move on, on the contrary, we are able to provide a consultation to explain our findings to ensure you understand the condition of the home. This can be done in person, on the phone and now offering Zoom walkthroughs after completion of an inspection.

A reliable and punctual inspector

Coming from a military background, punctuality has been drilled in every soldier and sets the stage as to what kind of inspector you are dealing with. It also displays a person's respect for people and time.
