How much does the inspection cost?
The cost of a complete home inspection depends on a variety of factors. One of them is the size of the house. Simply put, a larger house takes more time to inspect than a smaller one. Also, an older home presents more challenges than a newer home. Crawlspaces also can add to the cost of an inspection. We prefer that you call to obtain an exact quote. Our prices start at $366.00. As with most things, in a home inspection, you get what you pay for.
How long will the inspection take?
Typically a whole house inspection will take 3 hours. Very small houses can take less and larger house will take longer. Other factors that will impact the time of the inspection would include things like additional services, extra buildings to inspect, and the condtion of the home.
Can I be present at the inspection?
Yes! It certainly is not required that you are at the inspection, but it will be helpful to you to see the process involved with inspecting your home. You also will be educated on the care and maintenance of the systems in your home. Frequently, clients will show up near the end of the inspection to get all the pertinent information without exhausting 2-3 hours of their busy day.
When will I get the report?
We are committed to delivering your report in a way that best suits your needs. After the inspection, we promptly email the report to you or your realtor. If you prefer a printed copy, we can print the report at the conclusion of the inspection. For those who are out of town or prefer not to receive it digitally, we can also print and mail a physical copy directly to you!
What types of things will be on the report?
Our main priority is identifying serious issues that could affect your home. We adhere to A.S.H.I. standards of practice but go beyond these guidelines. While our report will include minor repair items, we focus on the critical issues that could impact your health and the long-term condition of your home.
