FAQs

  • A home inspection is a professional, objective, visual examination of the overall condition of a home. The findings, covered in each detailed inspection report, will provide the home buyer valuable information and the confidence needed to make a well-informed purchasing decision.

    A careful home inspection will cover all the major systems of the home, including foundation, structure, exterior, roofing, electrical, heating, cooling, venting, insulation, plumbing, and interior. We will run performance tests on all applicable systems and provide an evaluation, and recommend repairs or replacement.

  • There is no such thing as a ‘failed home inspection’. A careful home inspection is a current assessment of the prospective home. We will present you the facts needed to make a well-informed decision on the purchase. Additionally, we will share recommendations and maintenance tips to help you take the best care of your home in the future.

  • It is not necessary for you to be present during the inspection. All findings, along with pictures will be presented in the written report of the home that is sent to you before midnight on the day of the inspection. Our reports are easy to understand and we’ll be more than happy to go over any questions you have once you’ve read the evaluation. However, we welcome clients on the inspection and feel that the ability to observe and ask questions during the walkthrough is extremely valuable.

  • The square footage, age, and condition of a home all factor in to the length of the inspection. Typical inspections last between 2-3 hours. There is no cut-off time for an inspection- we guarantee that we will always allow enough time to ensure that you receive a thorough home inspection.

  • Several factors affect the price of a home inspection including age, size, and structure of the property.  An average Careful Home Inspection is between $295-$350. We provide additional services that can be added to any base price. These include septic, sprinkler systems, and pools.  See Inspection Pricing for a more detailed pricing table or call us today at (512) 587-0726 for a custom quote.
