I have spent years working on this highly-rated home inspection template to save you hundreds to thousands of hours from creating your own template from scratch.
Founder & 5-Star Rated Home Inspector
26+ years experience
This Home Inspection Report Template was designed through the result of more than nine years of in-the-field trial & error and research in the home inspection industry, as well as incorporating 17+ years of experience from the construction, remodeling, and contracting industries.
The template includes over 5000 narratives that are based on the IRC, IPC, NEC, and DCA-6, along with information from CRT and EDI. The template is plug-and-play for Spectora software, taking advantage of their location tags to be as efficient as possible.
From the reporting style to hundreds of images and thousands of narratives, I’ve done the hard work for you. I couldn’t imagine anyone building a comparable template in less than 1000 hours.The template has allowed me to be one of the highest-rated home inspectors in TN, as my report is repetitively mentioned in reviews.
The inspection template is priced the same as a solid home inspection – $525 (TX version $595) This template designed for use with Spectora 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 inspection template's reporting style is based on a FIR method (finding, implication, recommendation). It's also based on IRC, IPC, 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 home inspection template includes around 5000 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 the Spectora app 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.

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!
