INSPECTION SERVICES & Fees
Here's a list of our inspection services. Feel free to ask us about additional types of inspections. We perform all of our inspections according to the Inspection Standards of Practice.
RESIDENTAL INSPECTION:
A home is probably the biggest purchase you’ll ever make, so it’s important to understand the condition of your investment. I’ll provide a non-invasive evaluation of the home’s accessible structure, systems and components. While a home inspection can’t reveal every concern that exists, it will significantly reduce your anxiety by arming you with the knowledge you need to make an informed home-buying decision.
Full Home Inspection
up to 2,000 sqft (2.5hrs) = $375
2,001-3,000 sqft (3.5hrs) = $450
3,001-4,000 sqft (4.5hrs) = $525
4,001-5,000 sqft (5.5hrs) = $600
5,001-6,000 sqft (6.5hrs) = $675

Casita added to full home inspection/1hr = $150 (500 sqft max)
Pool and Spa Inspection
Each year in the United States, about 300 children under 5 years old drown in swimming pools, usually a pool owned by their family. In addition, more than 2,000 children in that age group are treated in hospital emergency rooms for submersion injuries. A residential pool and spa inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of a pool or spa, which is designed to identify defects within specific systems and components.
Pool & Spa added to full home inspection/1hr = $100
Pool only added to full home inspection/30 min = $75
Spa or Spool only added to full home inspection/30 min = $50
Pool & Spa (Individual/1hr) = $150
Spa or Spool (Individual/30 min) = $75
MOLD INSPECTION:
Unchecked mold indoors can damage the structure of a home, cause wood rot, and ruin drywall. Most importantly, mold can cause health problems. A professional mold test starts with a thorough inspection of your property. I will investigate any signs of past or present water intrusion, which can promote mold growth, and I’ll take samples of any suspected mold for laboratory analysis.
$150 plus $25 per sample (Individual/1.5hrs)
THERMAL INSPECTION:
I use a state-of-the-art infrared camera to find problems that aren’t always apparent to the naked eye. An IR camera translates the heat signatures of objects into colors on a gradient scale, with higher temperatures appearing as lighter colors, and lower temperatures and wet areas appearing as darker colors. By evaluating these images, I can detect sources of energy loss, locate areas of moisture intrusion, pinpoint dangerous hot spots in the electrical system, and uncover other problems, such as wood-destroying pest and rodent infestations, as well as flue leaks in the chimney, which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
$250 (Individual/1.5hrs)
ANNUAL HOME MAINTENANCE INSPECTION:
Especially if you’re a new homeowner, an Annual Home Maintenance Inspection can help you understand and plan for the demands of maintaining your home properly. Some tasks are seasonal, and some items require more frequent attention. Let me help you start on the path of responsible homeownership by identifying any issues, and educating you about what should be done each year to keep your home in top condition. Even if you’re a veteran homeowner, my inspection can verify whether your home’s maintenance is sufficient, or whether any problems have developed during the past year.
