INSPECTION REPORTS
If you’re considering a home inspection as a seller or buyer, we can provide a prompt and objective evaluation of the property conditions. We will inspect, and report on the condition of the property, and produce an action plan for corrections within 24 hours.
We use the HomeGauge Software to generate digital inspection reports. Your report includes high-resolution images, videos, detailed narrative, and can be accessed online using your smartphone, or computer.
Included in your report is an interactive tool called the Repair Request List. This tool allows you to indicate how issues discovered should be handled moving forward. From the report, you create a list that can be shared with all involved. The Repair Request List eases communications and has proven to be invaluable to any negotiation process.
CODE OF ETHICS
In compliance with ACAC, ASHI, CREIA code of ethics and California law, we inspect only. As experienced home and environmental inspectors, we have seen over 7,000 buildings, and can find problems that are sometimes missed by others.
