About the Report
In Texas home inspectors are required to use a standard property inspection report form, which is a standardized form with check boxes organized by system. Although there is a standard form there are generally two different home inspection reporting styles. Some inspectors offer defects and observations as line items with little information while others have a more narrative approach. Going above the minimum requirements, my reports are in the narrative style with explanations, recommendations, technical information, tips and practical advice. I try to convey my information in layman terms whenever possible.
