Pre-Purchase Home Inspection. Our most popular service, a pre-purchase home inspection is what you’ll want when you’ve made an offer on a house and it’s been accepted . . . contingent on a home inspection. If you think you’ll be in a multiple-offer situation, you might even have the inspection done before you make an offer so that you can submit without a contingency. A typical inspection takes 2 1/2 to 4 hours and includes a written report. Prices start at $495.
New Construction Home Inspection. The same thoroughness as a Pre-Purchase Home Inspection, but the focus is more on quality of materials and workmanship rather than wear and tear. Even good quality builders sometimes receive poor quality from sub-contractors through no fault of their own. A typical inspection takes 2 1/2 to 4 hours and includes a written report. Prices start at $495.
Condominium Inspection. Similar to our pre-purchase home inspection, only you’re buying a condominium instead of a house. This inspection is crucial from the standpoint that you don’t want to get stuck with a large assessment from the condominium association once you’ve moved in. Many associations either don’t budget for or aren’t aware of needed maintenance and repair items. A typical inspection takes 2 1/2 to 4 hours and includes a written report. Prices start at $495.
Pest-Only Inspection. This inspection focuses on wood-destroying organisms and conditions conducive to problems with attracting these bugs. A pest inspection is included with the Pre-Purchase Home Inspection. A pest-only inspection is a limited inspection focusing on structural aspects of the building and not the mechanical. This is a shorter inspection but satisfies the legal requirements in Washington State for a structural pest inspection. A typical pest-only inspection takes 1/2 to 1 1/2 hours and includes a written report. Prices start at $150.
Re-Inspection. We recommend that any repair work be performed by experienced licensed contractors and trades persons. These professionals will guarantee their work. As such, they will be accountable for the work and there would be no need for a re-inspection. If you feel a re-inspection is necessary, we will be more than happy to inspect specific items you request we check. Call for a price quote.
Single Item/Troubleshoot Inspection. A roof leak. A moisture problem. Concern about insect infestation. This service is used most by the home owner who needs help troubleshooting a problem. This is not recommended as a pre-purchase home inspection as often the buyer is not aware of other issues that exist and we end up doing the full inspection. Call for a price quote.
Pre-Listing Home Inspection. If you’re about to list your home, consider a pre-listing inspection. The inspection itself is the same as a pre-purchase inspection but the focus is on helping the home seller to prepare the home for sale. The home seller can decide which items they want to address prior to listing and what issues they should disclose to a potential buyer. This is a great option for sellers who don’t like surprises – especially the kind that slow down or derail a real estate transaction. A typical inspection takes 2 1/2 to 4 hours and includes a written report. Prices start at $397.
