How much will my inspection cost / why don't you have prices online?
Each home is unique, and as a result, the cost of inspection will vary based on factors like size, age, foundation type, and location. Additional features such as a pool, spa, guest house, detached structure, or barn, and optional inspections like thermal can also impact the price. If you're interested, we can provide you with a competitive quote after a brief phone call, text, or email conversation.
How long will the inspection take?
Our standard inspection time ranges from 1 to 1.5 hours per 1000 square feet. Keep in mind that this is just an estimate. The actual duration of the inspection may vary based on factors such as the age and condition of the home, the presence of the client/agent/sellers, the type of foundation (pier & beam), pool/spa inspections, and thermal scans. At our company, we prioritize quality over speed, so we will dedicate as much time as necessary to ensure a thorough inspection.
Am I allowed and/or required to attend?
We encourage our clients to attend the inspection. Many of our clients prefer that we contact them before completing the inspection, so they can join us at the end for a walk-through of the findings. However, your attendance is not mandatory. We will be available to answer any questions you have after the inspection, in case you are unable to make it.
What happens if there are problems found during the inspection?
The findings of the report will help you make an informed decision about your potential purchase. However, in Texas, the seller is not legally obligated to make any repairs. The report provides information that will assist you and your agent in deciding how to proceed. You have several options:
1- You can accept the home as is.
2- You can ask for repairs.
The advantage is that the sellers may take care of the repairs, and your home can be move-in ready. However, the sellers will decide how to repair the home and what quality of materials and craftsmanship is acceptable. During demolition, if additional latent or concealed damage is discovered you may not find out about it.
3- You can also ask for a price reduction in the home to allow you to make the repairs yourself. The advantage of doing the repairs yourself is that you get to pick who does what and ensure it's done to your standards. However, there may be latent or concealed damage that was not visible during the inspection, which could increase the cost and/or complexity of the repairs.
