What to Do After You Get Your Home Inspection Report

You found the house. You booked the inspection. You got the report.

Now what?

If your first reaction was, “This list is a mile long,” you’re not alone. Feeling overwhelmed is completely normal. At Structure Tech, we see it all the time: good homes paired with inspection reports that look a lot scarier than they are.

The good news?
It doesn’t have to stay overwhelming.

Why Inspection Reports Feel Overwhelming

Inspection reports are supposed to be detailed — that’s the point. Our job is to tell the truth about the home, including the small stuff. But without the right context, all that information can feel like a problem in itself.

You might find yourself asking:

• Are these deal-breakers?
• Is this a bad house?
• Is it normal to find this much stuff?
• Should I back out?

Without clear guidance, it’s easy to get stuck in the weeds.

The Real Problem: Lack of Context

One small crack, a few flagged outlets — and suddenly the house you loved feels risky.
But here’s the truth:
The problem usually isn’t the house or the inspection report.
It’s not knowing how to read the report.

And unfortunately, not every inspector helps with that part. Too many buyers are given a long PDF and left to figure it out on their own.

We do it differently.

What a Good Inspection Report Should Do

At Structure Tech, we believe a good inspection is about more than finding issues — it’s about helping you make an informed decision.

Our reports are:

• Clear — Plain language, no cryptic notes.
• Concise — Straight to the point, backed by photos.
• Actionable — You’ll know what’s urgent, what can wait, and what’s just part of owning a home.

We sort findings into clear categories:
Maintenance/Information, Attention, and Priority — so you know exactly where to focus.

Still have questions after reading it?
Good. That’s normal. Just call us. We stay available to walk you through it — no extra charge, no runaround. We even link to a ton of blog posts inside your report for deeper learning if you want it.

Buying a home is a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be a stressful one.

When you work with Structure Tech, you’re getting more than a checklist — you’re getting a partner who helps you zoom out, see the big picture, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
