Why Can’t I Just Do the Inspection Myself?
Inspecting the house yourself in an effort to forego getting professional help is not recommended because professional home inspectors are specially trained to catch issues you might miss. In addition, some lenders and states mandate that the inspection can only be done by a licensed home inspector.
How Much Does a Home Inspection Cost?
The cost of a home inspection varies according to the size of the home and its location. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, home inspection pricing is typically between $300 and $500.
How long does a home inspection take?
The inspector usually spends about 2 to 4 hours on the site per inspection, sometimes less. Completion time varies depending on a number of factors, such as the overall circumstances, whether the client has many questions, and even the weather. At HomeTec, we take whatever length of time is necessary to get the job done right.
Who gets a copy of the home inspection report?
The client receives three copies of the report upon completion of the work and payment. From there, it is up to the client to decide who may see copies of the report.
What makes one home inspector better than any other?
