Tip for Screening Home Inspectors

Tip for Screening Home Inspectors
A sample report is worth a thousand words...

When you are searching for thorough home inspectors, asking for a sample report is a sure fire way to compare inspectors in a short amount of time. An inspection report should provide concise details surrounding any observable issues as well as photographs. Recommendations for solving problems should also be included in a brief, clear manner.

How the inspector handles your request for a sample report will clue you in to the level of professionalism you can come to expect in the future. A quality inspector will always be glad to provide a representative sample for review. If they resist or put you off, move on to the other names on your list.
