Question 1

How do I format a repair request for maximum impact?

Accepted Answer

Use a professional template with clear headers, numbered items, and supporting photos. Organize items by priority with safety hazards first. Reference specific inspection report sections and specify the desired resolution for each item. InspectProHQ's ROC builder handles formatting automatically.

Question 2

Should I include cost estimates in my repair request?

Accepted Answer

InspectProHQ repair-cost estimates are non-binding planning ranges based on national contractor averages or inspector-entered values. Inspectors must review and adjust estimates, and users should verify actual pricing with licensed local contractors. A current written estimate from a licensed local contractor is the better source for a repair or credit discussion.

Question 3

How many repair items is too many to include?

Accepted Answer

There is no strict limit, but quality matters more than quantity. Focus on safety hazards, code violations, and significant deficiencies. Including too many minor or cosmetic items weakens your credibility. A focused request of 5 to 15 well-documented items is typically more effective than a list of 30 trivial concerns.
