Overview
Every Focus 1 home inspection meets or exceeds the State of Illinois Standards of Practice or ASHI standards. Your inspector meets you at the home and works through its major systems one at a time, taking notes and photos along the way.
Those notes and photos become a detailed narrative report with easy-to-use summaries, delivered electronically, so you can see what was found, understand what it means, and decide what to do next.
