No, you have to report all observations, whether they help the client or not.
To intentionally do less, borders on fraud.
I agree , the picture is required for each selection. I found it helpful to stop trying to play agent or discount adviser a Long time ago. Remember the form is uniform but clients change agents and carriers, also many carriers apply discounts differently.
It says that on the form. For questions 3 to 7 please provide a picture to verify your findings. Do what the form tells you to do and move on with your day.
So whats you alls picture on question 6 smarties?
For a so-called wind mitigation specialist, you sure do ask a bunch of questions!
My question is, from the picture, what do YOU mark for question 6?
Can’t tell from the pict looks like felt to me. Might be a little tougher on plywood ya think.
I can tell ya all that if it does not get them a discount you are just giving the underwriters more to look at and likely confuse them.
How come I never get the calls asking for all this crap you all say is needed. No agents-no clients no one?
What do you take picture of No attic access or unknown? Come on and make something up for this. The Ceiling?
Or door that appears to be rated or shutters that appear to be rated. I could go on and on .
You Are All Sheep…One says it the rest of you just baaaaaabaaaabaaa along with no thought whatsoever put into it.
I forgot…you are the specialist.
Doors,windows,etc…,that appear to be rated get a picture. If they end up getting proof of rating, I just add a picture of the proof and change the item accordingly.
And, on the picture I posted, do you think they used peel and stick on every joint? (Rolls eyes…again)
How the hell could I tell from your picture what it is. all my doors and windows are pictured in my elevation shots.
Keep doing things your way. I love it. The great thing is I will keep doing things my way because my way is more efficient and better for me and accepted by all 
Those statements are falsehoods.
It is not more efficient. How long does it take you to do a wm? John and I were talking and he said he did one in 7 minutes. Although I trust everything John says, I thought it might be a little far-fetched. So, I timed myself doing just the wm portion of a home inspection. 12 minutes for me…but I am a little older than John!
And your way certainly isn’t more efficient if as you stated elsewhere “I explain things to the clients and agents”. If you did things differently, you wouldn’t have to explain anything to anyone. It would all be right there.
And for your picture of windows and doors, how does the elevation picture prove if a front door is rated? Or not? (continues to roll eyes until they fell out of sockets)
This should be another pear of wisdom…wait a few minutes to reply…I am going to have to make a large drink for this one! 
I do not include a individual of every rated item. One of each type. Just remember Mine get accepted EVERY DAY with NO ISSUES.
Mikey - are you telling us that you have never had a call back or an issue with one of your inspections. I find that hard to believe. We have all had calls from agents and clients. It is the nature of the beast. And no none is perfect. We all make mistakes from time to time. If you have never had an issue in all the years of doing this, well, I have some land for sale in the Everglades. You interested.
No they don’t. And those are just the ones who have contacted me…I am sure that is the tip of the iceberg.
Seems odd that they would not contact me to complain Hmmmmmmmmm. Or have me fix it for them.
Nice of you to provide that free service to them. Thanks.
Some of them tried…but you wanted more money to fix a mistake. At least that is what they said. Others didn’t even want to bother contacting you…I suspect it had something to do with your demeanor.
I informed them what to do and if that didn’t work out, if I was in the area, I wouldn’t charge them. Fortunately, they were able to straighten things out in a matter of minutes, or, in one particular case, I informed the client that there wasn’t anything that could be done as the failure of the inspector to do any research caused this issue, be grateful for the time you got a discount you didn’t deserve.
As John, Preston, and Russell have said many times, this is an open forum and is read by a lot of people. Clients, potential clients, insurance agents, realtors, and others. I know for a fact this is true.
If there is anything I can do to hasten your exit from my profession, please let me know.
Pray, pray, pray if you believe in that sort of thing.
I would like nothing more than to leave this profession to all you sheep.
Back to the world of real professionals for me as soon as I get a break.
Breaks are not gotten. They are made.
So, by extrapolation, you are calling everyone in this industry a non-professional?
Calling people you disagree with “sheep” is about as unprofessional as it gets. Nothing new from you though.
And Bill is right…breaks are made…
Good night…maybe tomorrow will be a better day for you…
Bill is correct and all are not sheep just a very great many who are VOCAL around here. The ones that call and email me weekly are not sheep.
No everyone in this industry is not a Non Professional just a lot of suck ups, you know the type anything to get the job…
I miss the good ole days of when quality and service mattered in the Construction Industry. Now it is PURELY only about price. If you say different then you do not know squat.
Bill, Luck is also a factor in a great many breaks as a wise and very successful man once told me I was in the right place at the right time.
BUT he did have to MAKE the decision to be there at that time.
I am certain I will again some day be very successful because once you have been you know how to be. It is just a matter of figuring out my next big thing.
I assure you it will not be jumping through hoops for part time realtors and insurance agents.
I don’t think anyone here who has posted is a “sheep”. I think some of us believe in delivering more than others…and charge for it.

People will pay more for quality. You just have to show them why…which for me is very easy.
