Great home inspection software. Report generating is efficient.
Ease of modifications. Insertion of photos and videos is easy. Finished reports are impressive.
Re-ordering of photos once they’ve been added is cumbersome. Photo editing could be improved with more options.

I would not use any other software in my home inspection company.
I have found that HomeGauge Reporting software is easy to use, provides plenty of technical information, and allows for simple use of photographs in my reports.
I’m not using it to its fullest potential and would recommend that you go through some developer training as soon as you start using the product!

This software has helped immensely in starting my home inspection business.
It is easy to use, edit, upload. They offer plenty of how to videos.
As I've only been using it for a little over a year, there's nothing that I have found to dislike yet.

I use the software with my home inspection business and my experience has been outstanding.
I have been using Homeguage Software since 2004. When I started out Home Inspecting I was looking for software and tried a few and ended up going with Homeguage. I have no regrets. The software is easily customized by the user, the support from Homeguage has been outstanding over the years and the software is always been improving and upgradeable. Homeguage seems to try to stay steps ahead of everyone else. I have no complaints.
Nothing. It has always worked well for me.

Overall I really like Homegauge and would recommend it to a person looking for a Home Inspection software.
When there is an issue or I just need to figure out how to do something on the software, I call and always get a real person and who is pleasant as well as always helps to resolve my issues. Rare these days so felt they deserve props for that. I think the ease of use is nice since I'm somewhat technologically challenged and so struggle with either too many options, or a platform that's not very intuitive. I am yet to take advantage of many items to customize it further, but cool that I can! :-)
My biggest gripe is that you cannot insert arrows, circles, etc., into the report in the field. You can on a desktop but when I get home I want to spend it with my family and not tweaking all my reports before I can send them out.

HomeGauge software has "Time Release Messages" built in to send to you customers, or you can add your own. Automatically send out inspection reminders.
Simple, Everything! Easy to use. Easy to make changes. Has the ability for you to make different templets for different types of inspections, example, Pools & Spa Inspections. Support is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of using. All the people I have met, and talked with from HomeGauge are extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. HomeGauge is always making improvements and innovations to there software. They are out ahead of the rest, the rest copy HomeGauge.
Have not found any yet! I did find a problem with Capterra. They are asking for feed back on a "Home Inspection" software, yet they do not list "Home Inspection" in there choice of industries. I guess with that comment I blew my chance for the $$$$$.

I have looked at other software options for my inspection business. I always return to my Home Gauge.
I found that Home Gauge is the easiest software to navigate during the inspection and editing your report. It gives you so many options with photos, videos and with preset written inspection descriptions.
I have yet to use the software to it's full potential. So, I have not found any cons.

Customer service is outstanding and the company is always updating & with improvements as recommendations are heard.
Lots of options for customization & software allows a very easy interface with the clients,agents & inspectors. Software is best home inspection Software out today!!!
Improve the Companion App to allow more cohesiveness between the desktop & tablet. I wish it was easier to navigate the report options to change comments & diagrams easily.

I used to own a Home Inspection National Franchise, upon switching software to Home Gauge , I have probably saved 2 hours per day (PER DAY!!) - and that is priceless!!
ease of use / functionality, and customer interface / use is very simple!
There isn't anything i can think of in Cons - it continues to evolve, and any issues that i may experience are quickly addressed / resolved!

home inspections- made it easier for me to follow the inspection templates
made it easy for me as a new inspector to use the software and to guide me through each area. Also, the system does not let me upload until all items have been answered.
not able to update comments from print view option.

The software makes the home inspection report writing easier. Pre written statements in drop down menus do help to speed things up.
The software is fairly easy to use and customize. It runs well.
Getting templates initially set up can be confusing and difficult.

The program allows home buyers to read the report about their home inspection. This helps them make decisions about their purchase.

There is nothing about the program I don't like.

Using the Home Gauge Companion on the phone or tablet helps to keep the reports, organized, especially when doing multiple inspections in a day. We are able to upload the report to the cloud and the office staff is able to begin reviewing the report and setting it up for final review before we even return to the office.
The ability to include videos and 360° photos with this program provides an excellent value to my customers and allows them to see the issues the way that we see them at the inspection. The 360° photos are a great point of reference, especially for a customer that may not be able to attend the inspection. Also, the ability to work with multiple inspectors on a larger job and merge the reports quickly and efficiently.
As with any home inspection software, there is a learning curve when first setting up the system. However Home Gauge provides fantastic customer support and a full library of instructional videos and documents to assist with setting up and using the software.

For me, having put so much into learning about home inspection, having to understand software for reporting seemed daunting. HomeGauge made it seamless for me!
I like that the software "covers the bases" so to speak. Not allowing for missed areas. Customizable features enable me to make
There is a bit of a learning curve but there are videos and support as needed.

I like the way the software puts the report together, and how you could pretty much finish the inspection report using the Home Gauge companion software (using the APP on your phone).
It takes too long to update the templates!, There is hundreds of comments that I want to show on the General summary and I had to select one by one with about 7 clicks each... It's taking me hours to update just one template.

HomeGuage is an affordable way to provide a quality home inspection toon report to a client. Overall, very pleased.
The software is user friendly and the customer service can not be beat.
Some glitches between the PC software and companion software that I wish could be worked out.

Probably the biggest plus about Home Gauge was the support service. When I first bought it I attended a couple of the free training classes offered. There were a few times when I ran into a problem especially with the Companion or something on my computer, but when I called Home Gauge they were able to get the problem solved so I could finish my report & get it onto my customer.
It is very versatile & can be easily edited. I don't think there was a home inspection that I did that I didn't edit or tweak the program a little bit to customize it for that particular inspection. I loved it.
One thing I did not like was when I copied the report from one computer to another, the date & time changed. The original date & time was changed to the current system date & time even though no change was made to the report.

Saves time and produces a report that is easy for the customer to read,which saves time answering calls to explain what the report means.
HomeGauge software is designed in a way that is very user friendly. You can design your own report to look however you would like. You can also add any number of inspection items on the fly to suit your particular needs. The customer support is the best. I have and will continue to recommend HomeGauge Software to folks who are interested in Home Inspection software.
Can't really think of anything that I don't like.

HomeGauge has been great to work with on the software side and helping set up my website to generate business.
The software is very user friendly to create custom home inspection reports. It enables you to use pictures in the report and draw on the pictures to help show/describe the problem. The reports are very easy to read, follow and understand for the home buyer.
The automated statements could be easier to create and revise

Excellent
There may be new players in this software space, but HomeGauge has been one of the most consistent and pioneering members of the home inspection community for decades. The customer service is responsive and helpful. The software is completely customizable.
HomeGauge does like to focus on making big updates periodically and small requests for improvements can take time.

Homegauge really helps streamline the report writing aspect of home inspection. I really like the software and it helps make my reports concise yet very informative for clients in a shorter amount of time!
Love how easy the software is to customize! It also allows a quick and thorough report without taking a really long time. Customer service is very friendly and responsive, too!
A little clunky at the start until you learn the ins and outs.

I use home gauge for my daily inspection reports and the main tool to communicate with my customers. It is instrumental in my business.
It is intuitive to use. Simply upload your pictures and drop and drag your photos into the appropriate section and write your comment.
Sometimes it is hard to adjust auto comments and store them in the correct places.

I am able to easily describe the problems found with colored pictures to allow the buyer to see exactly what I am talking about.
Ease of use and the best layout to show the buyers and agents the problems found from the inspection. Highly recommend homegauge to all home inspectors!
I really do not have any complaints. Their customer service has always been able to help when I needed it, making things a lot easier.

It's just easy to use software that makes running my business easier.
The software really lets my clients have lots of options when it comes to their home inspection report. They can create lists to give to their builder/realtor just with the click of a button. They love it.
There was a little bit of a learning curve but one call to customer support cleared up everything for me. I also learned a lot from the call that was beneficial to how I run my business.
