Before you make the final decision to hire your chosen inspector, make sure you view a copy of their home inspection report first! This is NOT the time to have a poor quality inspection conducted on one of the largest investments you'll ever make.

Comparing home inspection reports with other inspectors in the Rochester area will allow you to at least know how thorough your home inspection will be when compared with other inspector's reports. There's no sense in hiring an inspector whose only interest is to collect a check and walk around the house for an extended period of time to give you the impression he's doing something.

A quality, thorough, and experienced home inspector could potentially prevent you from purchasing a nightmare home... one full of expenses and repairs! And it pays to know how thorough the inspector is beforehand.

The top home inspectors in today's business don't produce handwritten reports.  A professional inspector will provide you with a narrative report or a combination of a checklist and a narrative report.  A home inspector should be able to e-mail you a copy of a sample report. If it's three or four pages long, don't hire that person. While lengths of reports may vary, comprehensive reports average between 20 and 40 pages and contain color photographs highlighting defects or problems.

The report should not contain repair costs or action plans for repairs. Home Inspectors inspect - they don't repair and any inspector that makes repairs should always be avoided due to the conflict of interest in that situation.
