Dear: Home Buyer,

At your request, an inspection was performed at: 231 McRae Rd NE, Arlington, WA 98223. Precise Home

Inspection Services is pleased to submit the enclosed report. This report is a professional opinion based on a visual

inspection of the accessible components of the home, including: foundation, structure, roof, electric, plumbing,

HVAC systems. As with all Precise Home Inspections, yours was performed by a certified inspector under the strict

guidelines of ISHI and ASHI. Refer to attached ASHI Standards of Practice, or visit the ASHI web site www.ashi.org

for more info.

Before you review the report, please understand that there are limitations to such an inspection. The report does not

reflect the results of an exhaustive technical evaluation, but rather a visual inspection. The distinction between the

two is important. A technical evaluation requires exhaustive testing and analysis of a house’s parts, taking more time

and costing significantly more money. Our inspection does not consider components in the home that are not visible.

Also understand that, even with and exhaustive inspection, there still may be defects in the home that are not revealed

during the inspection. A visual inspection provides you with a solid, overall picture of the home, its problems,

positive attributes, and areas where we recommended immediate attention. But with anything as complex as a home

(a home has roughly 500 separate components), unexpected repairs are the norm, not the exception.

Please carefully review your copy of the Pre-Inspection Agreement. It explains in detail the scope of the inspection

and the limit of our liability in performing this inspection. The Inspector Standards of the International Society of

Home Inspectors prohibits us from making any repairs of referring contractors. Precise Home Inspection serves as an

independent third-party in home-purchasing transactions and is not directly associated with any of the parties in this

transaction.

The information provided in this report is solely for your uses. Precise Home Inspections will not release a copy of

this report without your written consent.

Thank you for selecting Precise Home Inspection. The growth of our business depends on customers like you telling

your friends and family about your positive experience with us. Take your time reviewing all comments in the report

and keep it with your permanent records. It will be a valuable source of information in the future. Of course, if you

have any question about the report or the property in question, don’t hesitate to call at (206) 683-3775.

Sincerely,

Tim M Peterson
