Our promise
HomeScope is built for the inspector who pays for the software. Not the contractor paying for a referral. Not the broker paying for lead data. Not the advertiser paying for attention inside your client portal. Just the inspector.
This page is a permanent, public commitment from Sandingzone, Inc.. It is intentionally written in plain English and binds us contractually through our Terms of Service.
The report your client receives shows your business, your logo, and the findings from your inspection. No contractor upsell cards, no partner ads, no referral widgets, no affiliate links. Not behind a feature flag. Not “opt-in.” Never.
Client names, email addresses, phone numbers, property addresses, and report contents stay inside your account. We do not sell lead lists. We do not rent them. We do not syndicate them to aggregators. The only time data leaves your account is when you ask it to — for example, when you send a share link.
We process photos through Anthropic’s Claude API on a zero-retention basis. Photos you upload are used to generate your report and are not added to any training corpus — ours or a third party’s. This is a hard line.
Marketing copy is cheap. The document that actually binds a vendor is their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Below are three clauses that matter to every working inspector — compared verbatim against the incumbent, Spectora.

Much of the home-inspection software market has quietly turned the inspector’s client portal into a distribution channel for contractor leads and advertiser impressions. That business model asks the inspector to rent out the trust they built with their client. We disagree with that model.
Our revenue comes from one place: the inspector’s monthly subscription. We do not have a hidden B-side. We do not take kickbacks from contractors. We do not sell a “data partnership” tier. If that changes, we will rewrite this page and tell you before it ships — and you will be free to export your data and leave.
