Frequently Asked
Questions
Q: How long does a
whole house inspection take?
A: Our whole house inspections can take anywhere from
two to three hours, depending on the size and
condition of the home.
Q: Do I as the
buyer have to be present for the inspection?
A: We certainly like our buyers to present for the
inspection, but it is not absolutely necessary that
they attend. We want our home inspections to be a
learning experience for the buyers. The inspector will
show them the mechanics of the home, how they work,
and would be available to anwer any questions they
might have. This is especially beneficial if you're a
first time home buyer.
Q: How do I get my
report?
A: We deliver our reports electronically through
Home Gauge®.
When an inspection is completed, the report is
uploaded to Home Gauge, and you'll receive an e-mail
alerting you that your inspection report is uploaded
and ready to view. In the body of the e-mail is a user
name and password for your report. Also included in
the e-mail is a link that will take you directly to
the page where you put in your user name and password.
As soon as you do that, your report will be available
for you to view, print off or e-mail to someone else.
Q: How long will
it take for me to get my report?
A: With the electronic delivery you can usually have
your report by the next business day.
Q: What if I don't
have e-mail?
A: Even if a buyer doesn't have an e-mail address, we
still e-mail the report to the buyer's agent, and the
agent can provide a copy or set up a time to go over
the report with the buyers. For those who don't have
e-mail and are out of state or don't have an agent, we
are more than happy to mail you a hard copy.
Q: How much does a
whole house inspection cost?
A: Most houses are $309. A large house with multiple
heating/cooling systems and electrical services will
be more. Payment is due at the time of inspection.
