Home Inspection FAQs

A home inspection is a non-invasive, professional assessment of a property’s major systems — including the foundation, roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. Our InterNACHI-certified inspectors evaluate your home’s condition and identify safety, maintenance, and repair issues so you can make informed decisions.

Most inspections take 2 to 3 hours, depending on the home’s size, age, and complexity. Larger or older homes may require additional time.

You don’t have to attend, but we strongly encourage it! Walking through the property with your inspector allows you to see issues firsthand, ask questions, and learn about your home’s systems in real time.

You’ll get a comprehensive digital report within 24 hours. It includes:

• Summaries of key findings
• High-resolution photos and video (when applicable)
• Repair and maintenance recommendations
• Clear explanations written in plain language

Our inspections follow the InterNACHI Standards of Practice. We don’t perform destructive testing or move personal belongings. Optional add-ons include:

• Radon Testing
• Sewer Scope Inspection
• Mold & Air Quality Testing
• Termite/WDO Inspection
• Water Quality Analysis

These can be bundled for a more complete evaluation.

Inspection prices vary by package:

• Essential Home Inspection – Starting at $425
• Comprehensive Inspection – Starting at $900 (includes Sewer Scope + Radon)
• Advanced Diagnostic Inspection – Flat Fee $1,499 (includes Thermal Imaging + Expedited Water Testing)

No — a home inspection isn’t a pass/fail exam. It’s an objective condition report. The findings help you decide whether to:

• Proceed with confidence
• Re-negotiate with the seller
• Request repairs before closing

While not required by law, they’re strongly recommended. An inspection protects your investment, identifies potential deal-breakers, and gives you leverage in negotiations.

Absolutely. We offer New Construction Phase Inspections, including:

• Foundation Inspection
• Pre-Drywall Inspection
• Final Walk-Through

We’re always here to help. Your inspector remains available to discuss your report, clarify findings, and guide your next steps.

• Show transparency and build trust with buyers

A Re-Inspection verifies that previously identified issues have been properly repaired. Typical pricing:

That’s the goal! You’ll have the opportunity to fix or disclose them before listing, avoiding surprises later. Buyers appreciate honesty and documentation.
