Pricing

Questions about pricing

What does the price include?

The fee includes the inspection and written report, with photos of the issues found, an explanation of what they mean, and the type of contractor to call. There is no separate report fee.

How is the price decided?

Fees are based on property type and square footage. Find your property type above, then choose the matching size band. We confirm the price before the appointment.

Do raised foundation homes cost more?

Yes. Add $150 for a raised-foundation property under 2,000 square feet, or $245 for one over 2,000 square feet.

Are these prices fixed?

These are posted fees for tract homes and may change. High-end, custom, and other complex homes, including properties listed above $1,000 per square foot, may cost more.

What can I add to an inspection?

You can add a sewer scope, pool and spa inspection, or concrete slab survey to the same visit at the lower with-inspection rate. A sewer scope is $299 with an inspection or $475 on its own. A pool and spa inspection is $375 with an inspection or $475 on its own. A concrete slab survey is $40 with an inspection.

What if the building needs an SB-721 or SB-326 balcony inspection?

SB-721 pricing starts at $1,500 for a three- to four-unit building and rises by unit count. SB-326 condo and HOA balcony inspections are quoted individually. Call so we can discuss the property.

How do I pay?

Pay cash on site for 8% off. You can also pay with a personal check on site or a card through HomeGauge.

How do I get an exact number?

Call or text (619) 752-4399, or book online. We confirm the price before the appointment.
