Download an example inspection report here. Reports by Don't Panic Inspections always look just as thorough and neat as this one, if not better!
Important notes:
1. Often our reports ALSO include summaries of Defective and Marginal items to make it easier to find exactly what issues need attention - these are located at the end.
2. Some sections aren't in all reports. For example, there won't be a section on Air Conditioning if there isn't one. The same with crawlspaces, outbuildings, garages, etcetera.
I remember the first home inspection report I ever saw. I paid for it, received it a week later, and it was all text. No pictures, no explanations, no recommended resources, hard to navigate. Yikes. It was a disaster. But I had nothing to compare it to. Only later on did I see a better report from someone else. I had no idea how bad that first report actually was! Unfortunately, a lot of home inspection reports out there can be rushed, confusing, poorly laid out, and the list goes on. Needless to say, I do things as best I can and I keep improving the information and layouts as things change in the industry.
