Home Inspector's Report: What It Could Include - Part 5

A home inspection report will usually be very thorough and highlight features of the property as well as pointing out problems that need fixing either immediately or in the future. The home inspection may report on:

1. Soffit's and Fascia.

The home inspection report will usually state whether the soffit and fascia are wood, aluminum or plastic. The report may reveal details of any loose or missing sections, paint problems, and if there are any visible signs of rot.

2. Porches and Decking

The home inspector will usually thoroughly inspect porches and decks (including the underside) for signs of rotted wood, wood-earth contact, paint problems, cracking or flaking masonry, and report on any separation from the house.
