The inspector arrived on time and promptly began the inspection after going over the basic intention of the inspection and his liability. Overall the inspection appeared to go well, the inspector pointed out concerns as they arouse, explained how to check on the water heater and furnace and gave some general information that is useful to first time home buyers. It wasn't until the inspection was finished and the inspector was reviewing his findings that it became somewhat apparent that there was a lack of detail in the report. I was disappointed to find that the report did not include any pictures, and in the comments area there was a lack of detailed description. As we were wrapping up, I noted exposed wires that the report had failed to mention. The inspector did not add this find to the report. When we reviewed the report in detail, I noticed that some check boxes were missed, there areas that were marked as concerns but the explanation was vague. I'm a very detail oriented person, so it was very disappointing to find our home inspector missed so many details in his report. I did bring up the concerns to the inspector. He apologized and the appropriate corrections and clarifications. I wouldn't recommend him to a friend - if his report was not completed in detail, how does that reflect on the quality of the actual inspection?
Description of Work: A home inspection was performed on a 1973 home that included inspection of a detached garage w/ office space.

Response from Cornerstone Inspection Services
In response to the inspection review, my report is a checklist style. I explain that all items on the report are not applicable to every inspection. I do delete whole sections such as the basement portion if there is no basement. On other sections, I check the items that are applicable and explain the report at the end. As for the vague detail, the report is summarized on a final page where all of the significant findings are detailed. My reports sometimes do and sometimes don't include photos. If they are needed to clarify a defect or if a client asks for a photo, they are easily inserted to my report. Cornerstone Inspection Services conducts a complete, detailed inspection covering everything required by the Washington State Standards of Practice. My reports are presented and distributed at the time of the inspection on a tablet computer. There is a lot of information presented and there are often questions after the fact. I make myself available to clients and their agents during and after the inspection to make sure all of their questions and concerns are answered. In the case that something is missed (which can happen) or needs to be changed I can easily make changes and resend an electronic document to all parties involved. There was a short stub of wire sticking out of the dining room wall that I missed on my original dining room inspection. We found it after I did my review with the client. It was in a location that could have been the original spot for the doorbell. We discussed how to cap it and seal it in the wall but I did not put it on the report.
