A home inspection is a detailed evaluation of a property's major systems and components, conducted by a licensed professional. It helps identify safety hazards, hidden defects, and maintenance issues. Whether you're buying, selling, or staying put, an inspection gives you peace of mind and helps avoid unexpected costs down the road.

Most home inspections take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Larger homes or those with complex systems may take longer. Your inspector will take time to thoroughly evaluate the roof, attic, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and more.

Inspectors evaluate all visible and accessible components of the home, including the roof, foundation, walls, plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, attic, and insulation. They check for structural damage, code violations, leaks, wear and tear, and safety concerns like faulty wiring or mold indicators.

Prices typically range from $400 to $600 in our area, the home’s square footage, and the services included. Optional add-ons like radon testing, sewer scope, mold testing, or thermal imaging may come at an additional cost.

No—home inspections aren’t pass or fail. Instead, the inspector provides an objective report detailing the condition of the property. You’ll learn what issues need attention, from minor maintenance items to major concerns that may affect negotiations or repairs.
