No! Unfortunately some inspection companies provide a simple checklist report with responses such as "Good, Poor and Unsatisfactory."  These checklist reports may be included in an  impressive binder with lots of pages -- but unfortunately much of it is generic information unrelated to the property inspected.  You should select a company that provides a comprehensive, narrative-style inspection report with digital color photographs of problem areas.

ValueGuard home inspectors prepare an extensive, comprehensive narrative-style inspection report with color photos. Each major system of the property has a separate section, including: •Structural Components •Roofing •Exterior Components •Heating •Cooling/Heat Pumps • Insulation/Ventilation •Plumbing •Interior Components.

The report explains the systems, visually observable material defects, positive attributes and system observations.  These findings are presented as Major Concerns • Safety Issues • Repair Items • Improvement Items • Items to Monitor

The report also includes an Overview section that discusses the more significant issues, the inspector's recommendations and a section on Maintenance Advice. If requested, we will provide Cost Estimates at no additional charge.
