FAQ

Let Advantage Help YOU!

Why ask for a sample report?
  • Report Understanding: A sample report helps determine if an inspector’s reporting style is clear, understandable, and provides the necessary information for making informed decisions about a property.
  • Report Quality Assessment: Evaluate the report’s thoroughness and quality, including the use of photos, detailed descriptions, and overall length.
  • Setting Expectations: A sample report provides a better understanding of what to expect during the inspection process. 
What to look for in a sample report
  • Computer-Generated Reports: Most modern home inspectors use specialized software for detailed and organized reports instead of handwritten ones.
  • Photos: Look for reports with clear and relevant photos placed near the issue descriptions.
  • Detailed Descriptions: A good report explains findings, not just using checkmarks or symbols.
  • Sufficient Length: A report for an average-sized house should be around 30 to 50 pages or more, depending on the conditions.
  • Clarity and Organization: The report should be well-organized and easy to navigate. 
Are all home inspection reports the same?

No, report formats and levels of detail can vary significantly, despite minimum requirements set by licensing boards. Reports can range from simple checklists to comprehensive narratives or a combination of both. 

What is the purpose of a home inspection report?

The main purpose is to provide a neutral, professional assessment of the property’s condition. It helps in understanding the house’s overall state and identifying any issues or potential problems. 

How to use a sample report
  • Compare Inspectors: Reviewing sample reports from different inspectors helps compare their reporting styles and choose the most suitable inspector.
  • Prepare for Inspection: A sample report can give an idea of the areas the inspector will examine and the types of issues they typically look for.
