Review Your Home Inspection Report

We deliver your comprehensive inspection report promptly, so you can make your decisions without the wait.

Whether you are buying, selling, or maintaining your home, Knouff Home Inspections provides professional, detail-oriented service from the moment you reach out. I walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. I strictly follow the industry Standards of Practice for home inspections.

After we walk through the home together, I will explain the general condition of the home and its systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later, and mention items you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance.

All of this will be detailed in your easy-to-read inspection report, delivered in HTML and/or PDF format, with images for reference on every item we discussed.
