FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price for a more thorough home inspection (including a typewritten report and photos) varies considerably depending on the region and the home's square footage, sales price, age and number of rooms, but ranges from $200-$900. A typical home inspection averages $320-$360 elsewhere nationwide. The average home inspection will take 2-4 hours, but an extremely detailed evaluation can take 5-8 hours or more -- and will usually be billed at the higher end of the $400-$900 price range.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A professional home inspector evaluates the current condition of a house. It is NOT an appraisal, which estimates the market value of a property. A home inspection report can be used by home sellers to identify and make repairs before putting it on the market, or by potential home buyers to learn as much as possible about a particular house before buying it.
