The Inspection Report:
The defining part of a home inspection is the quality of the report provided to the home buyer. The Quality Home Inspection report is a narrative style report that is specific to the home you are purchasing. Any issues found during the inspection are properly described, and the report is illustrated with pictures taken during the inspection. Your report can be emailed to you, picked up by you on line, or printed and mailed to you. We are proud to utilize the HomeGauge reporting system, the premier inspection report in the industry.
