No referral agreement or endorsement. The checklist organizes findings; it does not diagnose defects or determine urgency.
Use HomeScope clearly
Describe estimates honestly
Call each number a broad planning range - not a quote, appraisal, local price index, or promise of what a contractor will charge.
Send permit questions to the local office
HomeScope summarizes the path, but the city, township, or agency that handles permits is the final source for current forms, fees, inspections, and approvals.
