age factors: 

The older the home, the more complex the inspection becomes.  Our pricing takes in to account the age of a home.  Older homes have many years worth of repairs, replacements, settling, damage and so on to evaluate, report on and recommend for further action.  


But the home has been remodeled?

Example: The home was built in 1952 but has been "fully remodeled."  Fully remodeled is a bit of a subjective statement.  

Has the home been gutted to the studs? Has ALL electrical and plumbing elements been replaced?  Were the kitchen and baths gutted and replaced with fixures, features and flooring? 

1) We can not determine these questions without performing a comprehensive home inspection. 

2) Most likely, the home has been updated but original elements still exist.  As your home inspector, it is our duty to evaluate and report on ALL materials and installation methods used.  In older homes, there may be decades of varied installation practices and materials that were once commonly used but may now be considered obsolete. 


Complete Inspections of older homes, regardless of the extent of current renovations, are typically more complex than newer homes.

how much does a home inspection cost? 

The complexity of providing a comprehensive Home Inspection Report varies by a number of factors, including: 


  • Age of the Home*
  • Foundation Type; Slab, Crawl Space, Basement, Pilings. 
  • Square Footage of the Home and Attached Garage.
