4 A Message to Our Clients Thank you for choosing First Class Property Inspections, LLC. We are honored with the opportunity to perform this inspection for you! Please carefully read over your entire inspection report. Call us after you have reviewed your report, so we can go over any questions you may have. Property Inspections do not "Pass" or "Fail. They are merely a report of current defects, and no property is defect free. The following report is based on a visual inspection of sections of the property that are covered under the InterNACHI Standards of Practice. Inspections may be limited by vegetation, possessions, or inaccessible areas. Depending upon the age of the property, some items like GFCI outlets may not be installed; this report will focus on safety and function, not current code. This report identifies specific material defects and safety hazards that the inspector feels may need further investigation or repair. For your safety and liability purposes, we recommend that licensed contractors evaluate and repair any critical concerns and defects. Note that this report is a snapshot in time. We recommend that you or your representative carry out a final walk-through inspection immediately before closing to check the condition of the property, using this report as a guide. We hope that you are satisfied with our services. Please do not hesitate to contact us in the future for questions, concerns, or additional inspection needs.
