FAQs

How much does the home inspection cost and when do I pay?

Most folks usually spend between $400 and $600 on their home inspections. The exact amount is determined by the size and complexity of the home. Because it takes less time and there are fewer things to inspect in a condo, it costs less to inspect a 1 bedroom/1 bath condo than a 4 bedroom/3.5 bath home. You can pay online or in person at the time of the inspection; and can pay with cash, check, money order, and MasterCard, Visa, and American Express.

What if the house is not up to code?

The home inspection is not a code inspection, and the house is not required to meet current code in order to be sold. What we are looking for on the inspection is if the components of the home are operating as intended based on the time it was built (or renovated).

Will you get on the roof?

We will get on the roof if it is safely accessible using a 15-foot ladder. Whether we get on the roof or not, a thorough roof inspection is performed from the ground using binoculars and through evaluation of the underside of the roof from inside the attic.

Will I get a discount on other services if I get them with my home inspection?

Yes! The services that we provide are discounted when they are bundled with the home inspection. The quote that we email you or give you over the phone already has the discount built into it. If you call and ask for a stand-alone radon test, for example, it will cost more than if you ask for a home inspection AND a radon test.

In competitive housing markets wih high real estate demand and low inventory, buyer's are pressured to waive home inspections. Home inspections become a bargaining tool that buyers cannot afford to keep. After waiving the inspection, buyers are faced with expensive, unexpected repairs that are costly to fix. Homes sell fast, sometimes for well over the asking price, and sometimes sight unseen. Buyers look for ways to compete in stressful, fast-paced bidding wars. Real estate agents say they will not stand a chance if they submit an offer with a home inspection contingency. Let Stavlas Home Inspections take the stress out of the home buying process with a walk and talk consultation. A walk and talk consultation provides the knowledge and peace of mind required to make an informed purchase decision prior to waiving the home inspection contingency.
