Reports

Your Home Inspection Report

We use the premiere home inspection reporting software Home Gauge. You will be emailed a link to view your report with a user name and password. By going to the home page of our website, you may login and access all your inspection and test result reports as soon as they are available. They are maintained on file online for five years.

Your comprehensive report will be in narrative form with color photos and will include information about the following:

  • Items that pose a safety concern or require prompt attention such as lack of smoke detectors, inadequate firewall protection between house and garage, or a chimney that should be cleaned or repaired
  • Items that you should take special note of or repair such as damaged shingles on the roof or a leaking sink drain
  • Items that may not require repair at this time but should be part of a maintenance schedule such as a clogged gutter or downspout.
  • Items you should know the location of such as a gas shut-off valve
  • References to additional sources of information as a resource for you

If you are looking for an inspector, look no further than Jay Otis at S&J. He is friendly and professional. He went above and beyond for our inspection, giving us additional bits of information about things he noticed and suggestions of what to do about them. You can tell that he not only knows what he is doing, but enjoys it as well. Very knowledgeable and extremely thorough in both the actual inspection and the report. Report was returned to us in a very timely fashion. Only great things to say about Jay and we will be recommending him to everyone we know!
