“Full Service” Home Inspections and Ancillary Testing
Often during a home inspection there is a need for ancillary testing. I can perform the following tests at greatly discounted cost when done at time of the inspection. With many other inspectors you would have to hire additional professionals. Click here: Our inspection service prices.

To put the above into perspective a small size house under 1000 sq. ft. would usually include at least a 650 point inspection, taking about 2 hours for the onsite inspection. An average size home inspection of a 1500 to 2500 sq. ft. home would range from a 800 to 1200 point inspection and takes about 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours which includes extra time for answering questions. A larger home with a lot of issues could be a lot more. Add to the above times the report writing back at the office average 3 to 4 hours. You will be hard pressed to find a better home inspection report; See my sample reports here.

Home Inspection Agreement
When you call to schedule, I will email you a copy of the Pre Inspection Agreement for you to look over prior to the inspection, you can even accept or sign it electronically if you choose so you don’t have to read it at the inspection.
