Your inspection report is as important as the actual inspection. Inspection reports include color photographs and text to help you understand comments and technical issues. All reports are written and edited by Rich Zak. Unnecessary boilerplate text is avoided, making your report easy to read and specific to your property. Your inspection report is usually available within 24 hours, and can be easily accessed and downloaded on-line from our secure server.
