With your home inspection, you will get a detailed and comprehensive inspection report, which will serve as your guide for as long as you own the home. It not only describes the house components and their condition, but also provides insight into what improvements will be necessary, and when.

The home inspection report you receive describes each of the major systems of the home, including:

• Roof
• Exterior
• Structure
• Electrical
• Heating
• Cooling
• Insulation and ventilation
• Plumbing
• Interior

The report addresses the condition of each of these systems. Any recommended repairs, replacements, or improvements are clearly documented. The report also includes a summary of significant issues for quick reference. The summary is often the most important part of the report for people making their purchase decision. Once you’ve moved into your home, you’ll likely find more detail is required, and that’s when the body of the report becomes most useful.

The report will also provide you with a number of home safety tips, addressing everything from smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to overhead garage door openers.
