FAQ's

How much does an inspection cost?  

It depends. Our pricing is based on the home's age and size. Still, most of our inspections start in the $400 to $600 range. Plus, you may want to add additional services, such as a Radon test.

What is covered by an inspection? 

The standards of practice developed by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) are the foundation of all our inspections. We built up from there, pledging to walk on roofs when safe, inspect common kitchen appliances, and inspect all readily accessible outlets and windows. Here is a complete list of what your inspection covers.

How long will the inspection take? 

One of our inspectors takes around an hour to inspect a small condo. On the other hand, a 9,000 sqft manor with a small guest house would take three of our inspectors about four hours. Please call us at 804-269-4321 to get specifics about your home.

Do you check for asbestos? 

Officially, a home inspection does not include environmental testing for substances such as asbestos, mold, lead, meth residue, etc. However, if we suspect any materials in the home are harmful, we will report that and recommend further investigation or testing. For example, if we see certain insulation types, we'll let you know they may contain asbestos.

Do you use one of those “x-ray guns” that see through walls? 

Sort of. As an upgrade to a standard home inspection, we can employ a thermal imager to see your home's thermal signatures. This may offer clues to otherwise hidden defects. For example, we may see an unexpected cold spot that we test with a moisture meter to confirm a hidden leak. 

Will you walk on the roof? 

We walk on the roof when it's safe and accessible.
