Frequently Asked Home Inspection Questions:

Your home inspector will inspect the home and will report the home’s condition as it is at the time of the inspection.  This is the main responsibility of the home inspector.  A home inspection does not include predictions of future events, or assurances of likelihood of failure into the future.  The diverse experience from your inspector will assist you in understanding the major systems and components present within your new home, and a clear citation will be given for any major or material defects found.

Your home inspector will provide a written report.  This report will encompass all of the items stated in the Internachi SOP, inclusive of the inspected systems, structures and components of the dwelling, and the material defects observed during the home inspection. Your home inspection may contain recommendations regarding the conditions reported and/or suggestions for correction, monitoring and/or recommendations for further evaluation by trade professionals. Armed with this data from your home inspection report, it allows you understand the good/bad in the home you are buying and make an informed financial decision.

Home Inspections tend to take between 3 to 4 hours, on average.  Larger homes, naturally, would tend to exceed this threshold while smaller would possibly lessen it.  Modern-day tablets and applications have allowed inspectors to collect data very quickly and efficiently, which allows us to get written reports to you within 24 hours.

We realize that you have a tight window of opportunity to vet the condition of this prospective home and we will conduct ourselves so we are not a hindrance to it's completion.

While we likely can send the reports to you immediately from the field, we tend to supplement with additional photographs and notations back at the office to provide added clarity and value. The report will be delivered within 24 to 48 hours (or sooner if we are alerted to the urgency needed).

Home inspections cost will vary depending on age of home and size. The standard home can be Inspected for as little as $375.00 (up to 1,000 sq.ft.) with extra fees for other ancillary requested services.  Insurance inspections (4-point inspection and wind-mitigation) start at $100 or less when bundled with other services.  You can see our full pricing list HERE.
