The home inspection report prepared by Pinpoint Engineering, Inspection & Testing
Inc. is a permanent record of the visual and functional home inspection. The report
contains basic information about the property inspected and the surroundings during the
home inspection, and detailed information about the conditions observed at the time of
the home inspection.
Because our reports are customized and may include photos of deficiencies and other
findings, the report is not available at the conclusion of the home inspection. Reports are
generally completed within 48 hours of the inspection and electronic copies are available
immediately thereafter.
