What does a home inspection include?

A home inspection typically includes a thorough examination of major systems such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural elements. We provide a detailed report with findings and recommendations.

How long does an inspection take?

An average home inspection takes about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and age of the property. We take our time to ensure nothing is overlooked.

How much does a home inspection cost?

The cost of a home inspection varies depending on the size, location, age, and type of inspection you need. Be sure to have this information handy when scheduling your inspection.

What should I do if the inspection reveals issues?

If the inspection finds problems you should evaluate the severity of the issue and how to address it. Replacing a few shingles is easy while foundation cracks can be much more extensive.

Can my home fail the inspection?

There is no "Pass" or "Fail" in a home inspection. Inspectors provide information about the property's condition.

What should I do with an Inspection Report?

Go over the report with your real estate agent to help you make a purchasing decision.

How much does a sewer scope inspection cost?

A sewer scope camera inspection from Red Stag Inspections is a flat rate of $165. We run the camera through an existing, accessible cleanout. We do not pull toilets for sewer scope inspections.

How much does thermal imaging cost?

Thermal imaging is $120 as an add-on to a home inspection, or $200 as a standalone thermal imaging inspection.

How much does indoor air quality testing cost?

Mold testing is $200, which includes the outdoor control sample, plus $55 per indoor sample. Particle ID testing is $200, which includes the outdoor control sample, plus $80 per indoor sample. We recommend at least one indoor sample for each level of the home.

How do cancellations work?

Cancellations prior to 24 hours before the scheduled time of the inspection will be charged a $50 fee to cancell.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours to the scheduled time of inspection will be subject to 50% of the total invoiced amount to be charged to process the cancelled appointment.

WHY?

It takes us roughly 3 hours of work to process agreements, invoices, and scheduling the appointment with listing agents. Then the inconvienence of trying to fill the appointment slot that was held for your inspection. We turned someone else down who wanted to schedule that time since you booked it. Which in turn can cause us a loss in revenue. To offset these losses we have implimented this cancellation policy.
