I have spent years perfecting this highly-rated home inspection template to save you hundreds of hours of creating your own template from scratch.
Founder & 5-Star Rated Home Inspector
24 years experience
The KC Bartley Inspection template is the result of 7+ years of my blood, sweat, and tears in the field and incorporating my 17 previous years as a contractor. The template has allowed me to be one of the highest-rated inspectors in TN, as my report is repetitively mentioned in reviews.
From the reporting style to hundreds of images and thousands of narratives, I’ve done the hard work for you. I’ve improved it almost daily for seven years and couldn’t imagine anyone building a comparable template in less than 1000 hours.
I’ve priced the template the same as the price of a solid home inspection – $525 (TX version $595) This template will save you hours and hours of template editing and report-writing. View my sample reports below to see how the template can help you.
The template's reporting style is based on a FIR method (finding, implication, recommendation). It's also based on IRC, UPC, NEC, manufacturers instructions, etc., without referencing "code", but rather "current standards", "manufacturers requirements", or "best building practices". That way, a GC, electrician, plumber, etc., can't come in behind you and dispute the findings.
The template includes around 4500 narratives covering practically every deficiency you're going to encounter (though there may be region-specific items you need to add). There's also a ton of limitation/exclusion narratives written in a way to let the client know what you couldn't tell them in a non-off-putting manner.
There are hundreds of images included from the DCA-6, installation manuals, the MVMA (now the NCMA) etc. You can view my sample reports here.
I've never had a slowdown on mobile due to its size, or I would correct it immediately as I use the template daily in the field. My time on site for a typical 2000 sq ft 70's Brick Ranch is about 2.25-2.5 hours. 98% complete with the report by the time I leave. Then typically 15-30 minutes on the desktop at home, making changes to any flagged items as needed, and adding thermal, drone, and 360 pics.
Purchase the template by clicking the button below. You will be redirected to your cart that you can review before checking out.
Make sure to add your Spectora account email so I know where to share the template. There will be a space for this when you checkout.
Once paid, I'll share the inspection template with you on Spectora in the next two business days. You can find the template on the "Templates" tab under "My Templates" in your dashboard's upper right-hand corner.

Being a Home Inspector isn’t just a job to me, it’s who I am. But, that’s not saying enough…Home Inspections are my PASSION! As my wife could attest, I literally live and breathe the Home Inspection industry. Colossians 3:23
Thank you for considering my home inspection report template. I encourage you to review my sample home inspection reports so you can decide if it’s for you. Something I can assure you is that the 350+ inspectors who bought the report loved it, and so do their clients.
If I can help you in any way, feel free to reach out to me.
Sincerely,
KC Bartley, CMI, ACI
I struggled to create my own template, K.C.'s template was a game changer for my business. It has allowed me to achieve my biggest goal; to deliver a report that will not only educate my clients on their homes, but give them a plathora of information and resources that will help them maintain it for years to come. I've received only positive feedback on our reports since using K.C.'s template!

Utilizing KC’s template has helped me more than any other business decision I’ve made. I was new and had limited experience in the trades. His template gave my business an incredible boost. My confidence grew with every inspection and finishing the inspection on site soon became a reality. His template is filled with years of knowledge, common sense, diagrams, illustrations and experience. I have used other templates, but there is no comparison. I would have paid much more than what he charges. KC’s template is GREAT!
