Reports
Method Inspection reports are some of the best in the industry. We have spent hundreds of hours writing the template that makes up our reporting platform in order to provide you with a report that is easy to read, understand and take action on. Your report will be full of useful informational photos and video of the home and its systems. The items in need of repair are categorized by severity and many times include useful graphics showing the proper repair method. A Method inspection has all the information you need with none of the frills and fillers. We won’t fill your report with useless information or gimmicks to give the appearance of value. Our value is embodied in our slogan: Simple, Fast, Accurate.
