1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, Inadequate, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Home Inspection Report (Plastic Comb)

This reporting system is out of date -- it has the old inspection standards in it. It is cumbersome to use -- it is 132 pages (33 pages times 4 when you include the additional carbonless NCR pages for each page). It's emphasis is on "descriptive items" -- what type of material the roof is made out of -- rather than evaluative items -- type of defects you need to look for in evaluating the roof. It also misses on emphasizing some of the riskiest items/areas in the home -- stairs and bathrooms. I felt like I was paying for the high cost of carbonless NCR paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Inspection Report, November 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Home Inspection Report (Plastic Comb)

I have been using this report in my business for 5 years. It is easy to use and easy for clients to understand. I can deliver my report onsite and move on to the next inspection. It is also a great risk management tool, with a good inspection contract and necessary disclaimers. Anyone looking to get into the home inspection business should consider this report.

This review is from: Home Inspection Report (Plastic Comb)

I have been using this inspection report in my business for years. This report is a big reason for my success. The realtors and clients love this on-site report. It also contains the necessary legal information (contract, disclaimers, etc.) to protect my business. I definitely recommend taking a look at this inspection report.
