Report QA for home-inspection companies
Grade every report before your client does.
Inspect Grade reads a finished inspection report and grades the inspector's work against your state's Standards of Practice — an overall grade, a section-by-section scorecard, severity-tagged findings, and coaching notes you can hand straight to your team.
Graded against the standards your license rides on —

IG-01 · The problem
You can't read every report. Your name is on all of them.
A multi-inspector firm ships hundreds of reports a month. Each one is the product your reputation rides on — and almost none of them get a second set of eyes.
01
Callbacks start as blank sections
The expensive complaints — missed attic access, an undocumented panel, a roof narrated in one sentence — look like nothing on the day the report ships. They surface months later as angry calls, one-star reviews, and claims.
02
New hires ramp on your reputation
An inspector's first ninety days produce your riskiest reports, and ride-alongs don't scale. You need to see how they document a house when you're not in the truck with them.
03
Ten inspectors, ten standards
Agents and repeat clients notice inconsistency before you do. Every report should read like your company wrote it — same rigor, same voice, same bar.
IG-02 · The evaluation
A QA reviewer that reads every word — and shows its work.
Section-by-section scorecard
Every section the standard requires, scored 0–10 with a written rationale. You find the thin spots in a sixty-page report in the time it takes to read a scorecard — and the score cites the clause, not an opinion.

Deficient
Attic access not reported — no narrative, no photo, no limitation cited. §535.228(b)
Warning
Water heater TPR valve mentioned but test result not recorded.
Positive
Foundation narrative locates, photographs, and directs every deficiency — model documentation.
Findings, triaged by severity
Every gap in the inspector's documentation is tagged — deficient, warning, info, or positive — and tied to its section. You read the worst first and know in thirty seconds whether a report can ship.
See the full method →Coaching notes, not gotchas
Every evaluation closes the way a good mentor would: the two or three things to fix before the next inspection, and the habits worth keeping. Direct, specific, and fair — written to make Monday's conversation easier, not to write anyone up.

“The roof and foundation sections are genuinely strong — the deficiency narratives cite location, implication, and a directed recommendation. Before your next inspection: photograph the panel interior, and narrate what you tested — not just what you saw.”
IG-03 · The rubric
Graded against the standard. Not against a mood.
Every score maps to a section of the Standards of Practice you're licensed under. When an inspector asks “why?”, the evaluation answers with the clause.

IG-04 · Who it's for
For the multi-inspector firm
Run every report — or every new hire's reports — through the same rubric. The owner dashboard turns grades into trendlines per inspector, so quarterly reviews start from data instead of the last report you happened to read. Inspectors sign in and see their own evaluations; nothing lands in a drawer.
See Team pricing →For the solo inspector
A second set of eyes on your own work, before your client's agent provides one. Grade your last ten reports, find the section you consistently under-document, and fix it — the cheapest E&O policy you'll ever buy.
See Solo pricing →Put a grade on it.
The first report you run will tell you more about your team than your last ten ride-alongs.
