How it works
Scheduled. Photographed. Filed.
The same visit, the same way, every time. Here is exactly what happens, including the parts we do not do.
- A set window
- Fixed photo positions
- Same-day report
- A call when it matters
A visit, end to end
Five stages, and none of them are a surprise
Predictability is most of the product. A visit that happens when we said, covering what we said, is what makes the record worth anything.
We set the positions
On the first visit we agree the photographic angles and what matters on your property. Everything after that is compared against it, which is what turns a set of photos into a record.
We arrive in the window
You know when we are coming. There is no surprise inspection, because you are not the one being inspected.
We walk it
The exterior and grounds on every plan, the interior on Watch Full and above. Same list, same order, so nothing depends on what anyone happened to remember.
We file the same day
Photographs from the fixed positions, measurements where a number means something, and a plain account of what we saw. Not a form with ticks in it.
We call if it is urgent
Something you need to know about today does not go in a report you might read on Sunday. You get a phone call, and the report follows.
What we check
The fixed list
Worked in the same order every time, so the twelfth report can be set beside the first and actually compared.
Roof & Gutters
Checked from the ground and from a ladder. Debris, moss taking hold, blocked downspouts, anything overhanging the roofline.

Interior Walkthrough
Room by room, on Watch Full and above. Damp, leaks, smells, pests, and the ceiling under every bathroom.

Water & Power
Taps run, traps topped up, water heater checked, breaker panel photographed. The heat is on and the pipes are not frozen.

Grounds
Storm damage, fallen limbs, drainage running where it should, and whether the property still looks lived-in from the road.

The Report
Filed the same day, photographed from fixed positions, with anything urgent phoned through rather than left for you to read.
Learn More about The ReportThe boundary
We do not fix anything. On purpose.
We hold keys to empty houses. A company that both finds problems and profits from fixing them has an obvious reason to find more of them, and no way to prove it did not.
So we do not repair, clean, or maintain. When something needs doing we refer it to a trade, we tell you plainly that we take a referral commission, and the trade invoices you directly. You are free to use somebody else, and plenty of people do.
That separation is the whole reason a report from us is worth reading. It is not a boundary we intend to blur once the business is bigger.
Honest limits
What a visit does not cover
Worth knowing before you buy, rather than after something goes wrong.
- A home inspection. We are not licensed home inspectors and this is not that.
- A security patrol. We are not a security company and will not behave like one.
- A diagnosis. We report what was seen and measured; a cause needs a trade or an engineer.
- A valuation, or any opinion on what the property is worth.
- Repairs, cleaning, or maintenance of any kind. That is the next section.

We will come back with a recommended plan, a price, and an honest answer about whether you need us at all.
