Your Home Inspection Covers a lot of items and systems in your Home. Now is not the time to be bargain hunting for a Home Inspector. Most professional home inspectors have a solid background in the building trades plus have taken a Home Inspection Course. If you were picking a surgeon for an upcoming procedure would you want some who had a medical background or some one who took a part-time course at a local college ?

Understanding Your Home Inspection can help you understand what the inspection entails. Knowing what systems and areas of house are inspected can help deal with deficiencies that may be discovered. Most Professional Home Inspectors follow a Standard of Practice which identify what is inspected and also what not is inspected.

The Age of Home plus any Renovations can often be an indicator of the amount of Home Inspection defects that may be found. The could range from Structural Deficiencies, Plumbing Deficiencies or Electrical Deficiencies.

The first question I am usually asked is what are my home inspection fees. Most people understand that a home inspection is a complex professional consulting service. It is a learned craft requiring equal parts technical knowledge and communication skills. Professional Home inspectors usually come from a construction type background and are not graduates of a part-time course.

Our home inspection fees start at just $449.00 for a single residential home up to 3,000 sq ft. In our market, our fees are less than 1/20 of 1% of the purchase price of a home. They are substantially less than most of the other fees involved in a real estate transaction, yet most would agree a home inspection is an essential element of buying or selling a home.

Many buyers hire the first inspector they find. But don’t settle for less. Carefully research every home inspector and consider several factors:

Qualifications, certifications and training
Knowledge of building codes
Number of years inspecting homes
Referrals and references
Related work experience

A professional home inspection provides incredible value and is unique in the speed with which the service is provided. Very few professional consultants can respond to a request in less than three business days, let alone complete an onsite inspection and provide a detailed technical report within that time frame.

Typical rates for home inspections in our area range from $150 to $250 per hr. A typical home inspection might include 1 1/2 to 2 hours on-site, 30 to 60 minutes of travel time and 1 1/2 to 2 hours to write the report. Here’s another way to look at home inspection fees. When you take your vehicle into the dealer to get the oil changed, the labour rate usually over a $100/hr.

You can look at travel time a couple of ways: On the one hand, we’re not providing any direct value for the client while traveling. On the other, it is a necessary part of delivering the on-site service, and the consultant cannot be doing any other work while traveling. Many professionals charge their full rate or a slightly discounted rate for travel time as a compromise. Most trades and service people charge $100-$150 an hour for a service call, typically used to determine what needs to be done and provide
