Color-Coded Severity Ratings

One of the most common frustrations buyers have with home inspection reports is not knowing which findings matter most. Inspections Over Coffee uses color-coded severity ratings to help clients quickly understand priorities without reading dozens of pages of technical information.

Designed for Decision Making

Not every observation has the same level of importance. Some findings deserve immediate attention, while others are maintenance items or opportunities for future improvement.

Our color-coded system helps clients quickly identify the relative significance of each finding.

Why We Use Color Coding

Context Always Matters

A color rating is intended to help organize information—not replace professional judgment.

Every finding includes written explanations, supporting photographs, and recommendations that provide the context clients need to understand the observation and make informed decisions.

Part of a Better Report

Color-coded severity ratings work together with our system-by-system organization, embedded videos, trade-based recommendations, and snapshot section to create an inspection report that is easier to understand than traditional inspection reports.
