Here are some examples of inspection findings.
"Legbreaker" lowest riser could result in falls with injuries, especially to guests or others not familiar with this set of steps.
Floor girders in deck framing are often undersized.  This one had sagged about an inch at its middle after ten years, showing sloped surfaces above and adding to a "trampoline" effect of the overall deck.
Crawlspace moisture and lack of ventilation created conditions favorable for "wood destroying organisms" (fungus) that destroyed the structural properties of this floor frame.

Below is the text of a thank you note.

Mr. Baird,

Thank you for doing such a thorough inspection of the house on Liberty Hill Road.

We will certainly use you again and recommend your service.

Faye and Charles
Rafters way short of bearing and fastening at upper ends, have all rotated in place.  Major structural.
