Home Inspection Report

Please take a look at a Sample Report.

Building PI produces what we think are the absolute best inspection reports and in most cases we print our home inspection reports on site so that you have your information right away.

Our reports are easy to read and understand and will include many pictures so you can easily identify with the issues we are talking about. We also stand by our inspections for 4 years! .

I take the time at the end of the inspection to walk you back through the findings and I also show you how your components and systems operate so you feel you have learned something about your new home when you leave.

Inspections are not just for buyers. We call people who get an inspection on their home prior to selling it "Smart Sellers". A pre-inspection gives you, the seller, time to fix issues before they become a problem during the selling transaction or allows you to disclose items so they will not become a negotiating factor, favoring the buyer.

Items in your report will cover but are not limited to...

1. Foundation, Basement, and Under-floor Areas
