How to Read a Home Inspection Report
Start with the Summary to prioritize the most important items first. From there, review each section by system. For every finding, pay attention to what was observed, why it matters, and the recommended next steps.
If a finding is marked “evaluate,” it means a qualified contractor or specialist should take a closer look to confirm scope and cost before closing. For additional consumer guidance, you can also visit the ASHI Consumer Resources page.
