What to Expect From Your Inspection

DEI Home Inspections has a thorough, multi-point checklist for the inspection process. We will explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent after the inspection is complete, taking care to point out any defects found.

In addition, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, delivered online via HTML, or in PDF format, documenting all of our findings. Our reports include images, references and intimate details.

This report will be available for you both in a desktop-friendly format and a mobile format, so that you can stay in-the-loop and check your report even when you’re on the go.
