The evaluation is then communicated through a detailed and easy to understand inspection report, which includes descriptions of all the systems in the home, as well as any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize any improvements and develop a blueprint for your future in the home. For added convenience, a summary at the beginning and an action list at the end will highlight the most important information from your inspection. Our inspections now include an appliance audit, the perfect reference for planning appliance maintenance and checking for warranties and recall information. Best of all, our services to you do not end with the inspection. For as long as you own the home, you can contact Inside Edge with any additional questions at no extra charge.
