Services and Pricing

 

colonial.00.jpg 

We base the price of the home inspection upon the size of the house that is above grade. This is typically reported in public records as "Living Area". Basement area, even if finished, is not included in the square footage for the purposes of our pricing. An area that is below grade, or partially below grade, will be considered basement area. Also, garages, enclosed porches, etc., would not be included in the living area.

The inspection encompasses everything that is visible and accessible, from top to bottom, including all mechanical systems. For a full understanding of what is included in a professional home inspection, please view the ASHI Standards of Practice:

We are not the cheapest, however, are the best! We provide inspection services for those that want the highest quality professional inspection services.

NOTE:  Add $100 for a long-ladder inspection to the base price of the home inspection. We will walk the roof if accessible and conditions are safe. Otherwise, the roof will be inspected by binoculars from the ground and/or from the roof eave (if less than 12'). This is the standard home inspection method of roof inspection (in fact, many inspectors won't, or can't, walk a roof - ask your inspector if it's important to you). Walking the roof may be the very best method for roof inspection and inspection of any roof penentrations (vent stacks, skylights, etc.), as well as the top of masonry chimneys. There is considerable risk to an inspector for this type of inspection, therefore, we charge additionally for this service (this fee may be waived at our discretion).
