Pricing and FAQs

We are committed to transparency in our pricing structure, distinguishing ourselves from other companies that choose to conceal their costs. Why? Building trust is fundamental even before the inspection process begins. Our commitment to delivering high-quality service is backed by a track record of satisfied clients. We believe in fostering trust through clear communication, attention to detail, and accurately identifying the unique details of your new home. Given the amount of information and level of detail in a Scope Inspection, our reports take longer to produce. Our commitment to prompt service ensures that our reports are typically delivered on the same day as the inspection, with a maximum turnaround time of 24 hours from completion.

It's important to note that the inspection and report represent just a portion of what is included in our pricing. A distinctive feature of a Scope Inspection is an exclusive educational walkthrough at the conclusion of the inspection. This feature not only aids in acquainting you with your new home but also imparts valuable tips on protecting your investment, drawing on our decades of experience.

In terms of pricing, we offer competitive pricing that considers the size and complexity of your home. It's worth noting that older and larger homes may require additional time for a thorough evaluation of the home's systems, which, in turn, may lead to an increase in the overall cost.

No. A home and its components will go through typical life cycles and will eventually reach the end of its useful life. Also, a home inspection is not the same as a code inspection. While the inspector will be familiar with the local building codes, the objective of an inspection is to describe the physical condition of the house at inspection time and indicate what may need repair or replacement.

Ozone Air Cleaning Treatments are commonly used by water damage restoration companies to eliminate smoke odors after a home has been damaged by fire. We also use these treatments to help eliminate odors related to smoke, pets, previous home owners or related lingering odors. Ozone Air Cleaning is completed before listing a home for sale and after a homeowner takes ownership. Oxygen within the home  is converted to Ozone making it unsafe for occupancy for people and pets. A typical treatment is six hours, email us for scheduling options.
