General FAQs

What is a home inspection?
A visual, non-invasive evaluation of the home’s major systems and components—structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and site.

How long does a home inspection take?
Usually 2–3 hours depending on size, and condition of the home.

Do I need to be present?
No, but it’s highly recommended. You’ll get a much better understanding of the house in person.

When will the report be ready?
Typically within 24 hours, sometimes same-day.

What does the report include?
High-res photos, clear descriptions of defects, and prioritized recommendations.

Pricing / Scheduling

How much does a home inspection cost?
Most single-family homes are $500 - $700 range. Price varies by size, age, and any added services.

How do I book?
Schedule online, call, or text. Most buyers book as soon as they’re under contract.

Scope of Work

What do you inspect?
Roof, attic, crawlspace, structure, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances, and site grading.

What’s excluded?
Cosmetics, code enforcement, underground pipes, and anything inaccessible or unsafe.

Will you find everything wrong with the house?
No. It’s a thorough visual assessment of what’s visible at the time. No inspector catches 100%.

Concerns Buyers Usually Ask

Should I buy this house?

That is your call. My job is to give you the data to make it. I identify the “must fix” safety hazards and high ticket maintenance items so you know the true cost of your home. I provide the data - you decide if the destination is worth the work.

Is this house safe?
Your report will highlight major safety defects clearly—electrical issues, gas leaks, structural concerns, etc.

Is the home “pass or fail”?
No. A home inspection is informational, not a code inspection or pass/fail.

Can you tell me the remaining life of major systems?
No. I provide an estimated age and report current conditions. My goal is to tell you if it’s working today, and if it shows signs of past neglect.
