What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a visual examination of the home’s structure, systems, and components to identify safety concerns, defects, and maintenance needs. We educate you on the findings for informed decisions.
How long does a home inspection take?
A full home inspection typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. We take time to explain things on-site.
What does a home inspection cost?
Our prices start at $350 for a full home inspection. See our Services page for details on all offerings. Prices vary based on property size and type.
Do I need to be present during the inspection?
It’s recommended but not required. Being present allows us to explain findings in real-time and answer questions, aligning with our educational approach.
What if the inspection reveals problems?
We provide clear explanations and recommendations. No scare tactics—just facts to help you negotiate, plan repairs, or decide next steps.
Is a home inspection the same as a code inspection?
No, we check for functionality, safety, and condition, not code compliance. We’re not code enforcers but can flag potential issues.
What does the inspection report include?
A comprehensive, easy-to-understand report with photos, descriptions of issues, severity levels, and maintenance tips.
What are common problems found in inspections?
