When to use and what to include
Record a coating or surface inspection in the guided form, then generate a clear PDF report. Capture each area's substrate and finish condition, moisture or adhesion readings used, photos, defects, likely contributing observations, and recommended preparation or repair.
What to include
- Property details, inspection date, and who requested the inspection, plus weather conditions at the time of assessment.
- Surface-by-surface findings: paint adhesion, peeling, blistering, chalking, mildew, cracking, and discoloration, with location and severity ratings.
- Substrate condition under the paint: moisture readings, rot, rust, efflorescence on masonry, or drywall damage that affects recoating.
- Photos keyed to each finding with labels showing exact location (e.g., north elevation second-floor trim, kitchen ceiling above stove).
- Recommendations: which surfaces need full strip-and-repaint, which need spot repair, and which are in acceptable condition with estimated remaining life.
