A word about home inspection reports. When you choose a home inspector please make sure that he or she supplies a narrative inspection report. I was taking a look at a checklist style report and it tells almost zero about the conditions that exist in the home. As a consumer you want the best possible reporting for your hard earned money. Ask your home inspector what kind of reporting he or she uses. If they say checklist do yourself a favor and find another home inspector. I am a strong proponent of narrative and detailed useful inspection reports. When you hire me you get a very detailed report that clearly states the conditions that exist and the ramifications if the issue is not resolved. Its cut and dry, you don’t have to look for hidden meaning because it can only be taken in one way. Along with the detailed narratives of problems I include photos so you and your attorney can see what the issue is. Vague home inspection reports don’t help you make decisions and they don’t help the home inspection profession either. Please stay away from them.
