Our Reports vs Theirs   Detailed Explanations • Our Reports contain detailed explanations of problem areas along with useful maintenance and safety tips.   • Their Reports often contain only a checklist of items inspected and ranks each item "Acceptable", "Marginal", or "Defective" without giving much, or any other information   Digital Color Photographs • Our Reports contain digital color photographs which help to enhance the explanation and helps to identify the exact location of the problem area later on. • Their Reports often contain no photographs and little information about the exact location of certain problem areas.   This may make locating these problem areas later on difficult.  For instance, if the inspector found a faulty electrical outlet in a room with seven other outlets, a photograph of the outlet helps to pinpoint exactly which outlet it is.  Photographs of problem areas on a roof help you to see for yourself something you would not be able to see unless you crawled up on the roof.  Same thing for attic spaces, crawlspaces, etc.      Same Day Delivery • Our Reports are delivered to you the same day as the home inspection.  Radon reports are an exception to this.  A radon test takes a minimun of 48 hrs.  We deliver radon reports the same day the radon test is concluded. • Their Reports are often delivered the next day or within 48hrs.  This could put you in a hurried situation when you only have a certain number of days to get your inspection finished.   Professionally Typed & Prepared  • Our Reports are professionally prepared using stat-of-the-art inspection reporting software.  No messy handwriting for you to decipher when you read a report from Martin Home Inspections. • Their Reports are often handwritten and difficult to read.  If you can't read it, what good does it do you?
