A typical home inspection requires about two to three hours, depending on the size of the house—larger, more complex houses require more time on site. The condition of the house and related systems also affects inspection intervals—if the house and appliances have not been properly maintained, the inspector may need additional time to explain to the buyer the options he/she has to maintain or replace the items.

Our inspection reports are regarded nationally as the finest inspection deliverable available. The inspection report is the published outcome of a professional home inspection. The report includes an Executive Summary and identification of deficiencies across a home’s major systems: Structural, Roofing, Exterior, Interior, Electrical, Plumbing, Heating and Cooling, Insulation and Ventilation, Appliances, Water Control, Waste Disposal, and Property and Site.

We review and discuss inspection results on site with our customers while referring to report findings and comments; we deliver final inspection report digitally.

The cost of a home inspection varies relative to three main factors: size of home, age of home, and geographic location. Most home inspections cost between $300 and $500, but many inspections fall outside of that range because of size of home and/or age of home.

If the cost of a home inspection sounds too good to be true, it probably is—new inspectors and franchise operators tend to compete based on price. Buying a home is one of your most important investments-we highly recommend not short-changing your inspection quality to save $25 to $50.

A code inspection corresponds to code established by a local municipality; code inspections are not designed to help a buyer or seller understand the general condition of a home and should not be relied upon exclusively for a home purchase or home sale.

Ideally all utilities should be on during the inspection; otherwise, those systems or components cannot be properly evaluated.

In most cases, the inspector always tries to walk the roof. Depending on safety concerns, accessibility, roofing material, and roof pitch, the inspector may not be able to walk the roof.

We even test your heating and air-conditioning systems, but we only test AC if the outside temperature is above 65F.
