Roof and exterior

Roof covering, flashing, drainage, gutters, siding, trim, grading, decks, railings, and vegetation contact.
Record severity, location, photo slot, recommendation, and whether specialist review is needed.

Electrical and safety

Panel access, visible wiring, GFCI/AFCI observations, receptacle notes, smoke/CO alarm notes, and safety shutoff concerns.
Keep safety findings separate from maintenance notes so the final buyer summary is scannable.

Plumbing and moisture

Supply lines, drain leaks, water heater observations, fixture operation, stains, active moisture clues, and inaccessible areas.
Use narrative snippets to explain whether the observed item is active, prior, or needs confirmation.

HVAC, interior, and photo slots

Heating/cooling operation, visible ducting, attic/basement notes, doors/windows, walls/ceilings/floors, and photo placeholders.
Reserve photo slots as checklist rows so images do not get detached from the finding they document.
