LocalServ.Pro — Home Inspections Hiring Checklist
Prepared October 17, 2026
Planning aid; verify current project requirements. No request is sent.

A home inspection helps you understand accessible conditions at a particular time. It is not a guarantee against every future defect. Before booking, explain the property type, age, major outbuildings, utilities, and any concerns so the inspector can identify the intended scope and access needs.

DISCUSS WITH THE PROVIDER
What access or utility conditions could limit the inspection?
Which optional tests are separate and who performs them?
How are urgent concerns communicated before the written report?

COMPARE IN WRITING
[ ] Included tasks, materials and quantities
[ ] Exclusions, allowances and change approval
[ ] Relevant credentials, insurance and who performs the work
[ ] Permit responsibility, schedule, payment milestones and cleanup
