What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a thorough evaluation of the property’s condition. It covers major systems such as roofing, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components.

An average home inspection typically takes about 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property.
How much does a home inspection cost?
The cost of a home inspection can vary based on the size, age, and location of the property. On average, expect to pay $0.20 per square foot with a $400 minimum. Other services, such as thermal imaging, can be included for an additional cost. We provide clear pricing upfront with no hidden costs.
Who conducts the inspection?
Inspections are carried out by a certified and experienced professional. They have the expertise to identify potential problems and provide satisfactory solutions.
What will I receive after the inspection?

Do I need to be present during the inspection?
