This is done through visual inspection, measurements via equipment, and a general survey of the property. The process is non-invasive.
Once the survey is complete, a meaningful, thorough, and extensive report about the condition, attributes, and defects of the property is generated and available to you within 24 hours.

If your home is 2100 square feet, you only pay for 2100 square feet. You will not be charged for unfinished rooms such as an unfinished basement.
