Scheduling Home Inspections 7 Days a Week for all of South Central Wisconsin
The Report
Page 1 Cover Page
On a typical home inspection I will be at the home from 2 to 3 hours. During that time I will test, inspect, take notes and take color pictures of all defects, safety issues and repair issues. Then I go back to my office, download pictures and create a report, This takes 1 to 2 hours, then I e-mail the report. All issues will have a written explanation about why it was wrote up, and what type of person should fix it. All issues that are found will appear at the front of the report under a Report Summary Page. The entire report is customized for your home, depending if your home has a swimming pool, extra outside buildings, finished basement, 3,4 or 5 bedrooms, 2,3 or 4 bathrooms etc. Your report will have a separate written report for each room. The report will be e-mailed the same day, or with a late afternoon inspection, the next day. I carry 6 ladders on my truck, these ladders range from 2 feet to 32 feet. The ladders will get me on to all roofs and into all attics. My inspections are very thorough, on an average home I will inspect over 550 items and create a 50 page report.
