Frequently Asked Questions
Buying a home is an important milestone and a significant investment. Whether it's your first house or you've been through the process before, ensuring you're making the right choice is crucial. That's where a home inspection comes in! Rather than stepping into the unknown, wouldn't you rather make an investment you can trust? Our certified and licensed home inspectors bring their expert knowledge to examine every detail of your prospective home, providing you with the confidence and peace of mind you deserve. Let us take the worry off your shoulders and help you make an informed decision!
No, a house cannot "fail" a home inspection. A home inspection is a visual examination meant to identify any deficiencies or defects in the property. The goal is not to assign a pass or fail grade to the house but to provide you with detailed, objective information about its current condition. This valuable insight helps you make well-informed decisions, ensuring that you are fully aware of any potential issues before moving forward. Rest assured, our goal is to equip you with the knowledge you need to feel confident in your investment.
A typical home inspection usually takes about 3 to 4 hours. The duration can vary based on several factors, including the size, age, and condition of the home. Our goal is to conduct a thorough and detailed inspection to ensure you have a complete understanding of the property's condition. We appreciate your patience as we work to provide you with the most comprehensive information possible.
The cost of a home inspection can vary based on a few factors, including the size of your home and any special considerations you may need. Generally, our pricing is determined by the square footage of your property. On average, you can expect the inspection to cost between $300 and $500 for a typical single-family home.
Additionally, we offer specialized services such as 4-Point insurance inspections and wind mitigation inspections. These are often required for homeowners insurance and can provide significant savings on your insurance premiums. The cost for these additional inspections can vary but are typically affordable and provide valuable insights into the safety and integrity of your home.
Our goal is to provide you with a thorough and comprehensive inspection at a fair price. We understand that buying a home is a significant investment, and we're here to ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. If you have any concerns about the cost or the inspection process, please don't hesitate to reach out.
When should I schedule my inspection?
We recommend reaching out as soon as you make your offer on the home. That way we can get you scheduled within your inspection period. Don't worry, we usually have availability in1-3 days.
When will I receive the report?
The primary inspection report, along with any additional service reports, will be completed and sent to you on the same day as the inspection. Reports are generally sent between 5 PM and 8 PM and will be accessible once the inspection agreement is signed and payment is received. If it takes longer than 24 hours, the inspection is FREE!
Is a re-inspection required by the inspector after repairs are completed?
For a four-point inspection, most insurance companies will require a "clean" report before insuring the home. If deficiencies are noted, and repairs are made by the seller, an inspector must return to verify the repairs. A a new four-point report will then be sent to you for your insurance company.
For a full home inspection, you may choose to have a repair verification inspection to ensure that the seller professionally addressed the deficiencies. However, this is optional.
In either case, a trip charge applies if the inspector needs to return to verify repairs.
How much will the repairs cost?
Home inspectors are generally not qualified to provide repair or replacement cost estimates on-site or within the inspection report. Many specialized services, however, utilize national and local data to estimate these costs based on the inspector's findings.
