Home Inspection Rates
The cost of the home inspection will
vary with the size and condition of the property. Please call for a firm
quote "prior" to your home inspections. Payment is due at the time
of the inspection. Most typical home inspections will take approximately 2.5
~ 3.0 hours on site to complete based on size and condition.
You need not be present during
the inspection however, it may be beneficial for you to be present.
Seeing the property through the inspector's eyes may be beneficial in
helping you to understand the overall condition of the home, as well as
the home inspection report at the conclusion of the inspection.
You will receive a printed
summary and a comprehensive itemized report, as well as maintenance
tips. The
report includes informational sheets explaining the areas inspected.
We use a digital camera as needed when inspecting a home (We keep the
privacy of the home owners intact.).
At your request, a copy of the home inspection report
can be viewed online, emailed, faxed or mailed.
When choosing a home inspection
company, it is NOT always a sign of a bargain to
go with the lowest priced inspector. It is wise to look at an
inspector's experience, affiliations, training and references over the
price of the inspection.
