What it is
HomeGauge is software for professional home inspectors, combining a desktop report writer with a Companion app for field data. In the classic workflow, inspectors collect information with the app and complete reports on desktop. The report writer supports styles such as Narrative and Grid. Business tools cover scheduling, online agreements, payments, report delivery and storage, follow-up emails and inspection guarantees. Reports can be securely delivered through the cloud and locked until payment is received. Its forms library includes NPMA-33 and Florida Wind Mitigation forms. The CRL/Repair Request tool lets buyers and agents build a repair list from an inspection report and attach it to a repair addendum form. HomeGauge Payments is free for HomeGauge users and has no monthly gateway costs. Appointments can be shared with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook or iCal. The classic desktop software runs on Windows; Mac users can use Parallels or similar programs, while Companion runs on Android and iOS. New customers can use a 30-day free trial, followed by the listed $89 a month price.
