Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need a contractor letter?
Lenders, agents, or buyers often require written proof that repair items identified in an inspection report were actually completed by a qualified professional before closing.
Who provides the contractor letter?
The licensed contractor who performed the repair typically writes and signs the letter; ASIST can help coordinate this process based on your original inspection findings.
Is a re-inspection required in addition to a contractor letter?
Not always — some transactions accept a contractor letter alone, while others may also request a follow-up visual re-inspection. We can help you understand what your specific transaction requires.
Can this be arranged quickly before closing?
We do our best to move quickly, but timing depends on contractor availability for the specific repair — the sooner you reach out after repairs are scheduled, the better.
