Core Inspection Services

 
 
Buyer Home Inspection

Pre-Listing Home Inspection

 

Starting at $495

Designed for homeowners preparing to sell. This inspection helps identify visible concerns before listing so sellers can better understand the property's condition and decide what they want to address before buyers begin touring the home.

 

 

New Construction Inspection

 

Starting at $550

 

An independent inspection of a newly constructed home before closing or final walkthrough. Focuses on visible installation issues, incomplete work, safety concerns, and conditions that may warrant correction by the builder.

11-Month Warranty Inspection

 

Starting at $425

Designed for homeowners approaching the end of their builder warranty period. The inspection identifies visible concerns that may be worth bringing to the builder's attention before the warranty expires.

Re-Inspection

 

Starting at $225

A focused follow-up inspection of previously reported conditions or repairs. A re-inspection documents visible conditions at the time of inspection and does not certify workmanship or code compliance.

Specialty Inspections Services

When a full home inspection isn’t the right fit, these focused inspections can help address specific concerns or property conditions.

 

 

Limited-Scope Inspection

 

Starting at $225

 

For homeowners, buyers, property managers, and professionals who need an independent evaluation of a specific system, component, area, or concern rather than a complete home inspection.

 

Common examples:

 

​

  • Basement concerns

  • Roof concerns

  • Attic concerns

  • Plumbing

  • Electrical

  • Insulation

  • Ventilation

  • Drainage

  • Visible structural conditions

  • Previous repairs

  • Specific property concerns

More extensive investigations involving multiple systems or areas may be priced at $275–$450+.

 

*A limited-scope inspection is focused only on the requested area or concern and is not a substitute for a complete home inspection.

Thermal & Moisture Evaluation

 

Starting at $250

 

A targeted thermal-imaging evaluation used to investigate abnormal temperature patterns and areas of concern.

May help identify conditions associated with:

Moisture-meter testing may be used to investigate thermal anomalies when appropriate.
