Inside the report
What's in a ThoroughSpec inspection report?
The sample is a 44-page ThoroughSpec report from June 2026, shown with placeholder client details. Here's what you'll find inside.
- Digital photos throughout. Mark photographs what he finds, so you can see the issue, not just read about it.
- A Summary Page. The important items in one place, for easy reference when you're talking with your agent.
- Easy to read. Clear descriptions of what Mark found, written for home buyers, not for other inspectors.
- Emailed as a PDF. Easy to open on your phone or computer, and easy to forward to your agent.
- Section by section. A contents page lists every section with its page number: General Information, Exterior, Roof & Attic, Garage, HVAC, Foundation & Plumbing, Electrical Systems, Water Heater, Kitchen & Laundry, Bathrooms, Living Areas and Bedrooms.
- Homebuyer Highlight notes. Some items are marked "Homebuyer Highlight," with a short explanation of that feature of the home.

Do you just get a report?
No. Before the report ever reaches you, Mark walks you through his findings in person at the end of the inspection. Issues that seem overwhelming when you read about them are often less intimidating when you see them firsthand. Then your report arrives the next business day, and Mark stays available by phone, email and text afterward.
