A sample · not a real house

This is the note.

Every Vellamore visit ends with one of these, sent the same day. It is the only thing you have to read, and it is the whole record — what we checked, what we found, what we have already set in motion, and what it will cost before anything is spent. The house and the names below are made up. The format is exactly what you would receive.

Photographs

The front of the house in morning sun: a raised two-storey shingled house with three dormers, a covered porch across the front, two flags flying, and clipped shrubs along the drive. Nothing out of place.
Front elevation, 8:42 AM
A close view up the roof slope against clear sky. Two grey asphalt shingles have curled away from the course below them, leaving a dark gap open to the deck. The courses either side lie flat.
North slope, where the shingles lifted
The boardwalk at the back of the property, looking along weathered timber decking between handrails to the beach and the sea beyond. The boards are dry and even, with no lifted nails or soft sections.

Nine more photographs are in the app, including the mechanical room and both filter dates.

Nothing is spent until you approve it. Approve or decline in the app, or reply to this note. We will be at the house while they work and there is no charge from us for the visit or the oversight — you pay Baker Roofing, at their price, with nothing added.

Next

Back Thursday for the roof, then the next scheduled visit on Tuesday 4 August. You arrive 15 August — we will have the house cooled, aired and stocked from Wednesday the 13th.

RileyAnything at all, any hour — 843-619-2346. If you would rather I did not book the roof until you have seen it yourself, say so and I will hold it.
