A cheap inspection is never thorough." Steve Z.

Our Fees
- Our fees typically start at $250 and are relative to the property size, we do not charge extra fees for the age or condition of the home.
- We strive to inspect every home, as if we were moving our own family into the property.
We take whatever time is necessary to complete your inspection. A comprehensive quality inspection of your new home is our sole concern.
- You will find that prices vary slightly between home inspection companies.
This price difference is typically influenced by inspector certifications, experience, services, insurance coverage and qualifications.
More Value
We also provide the industries only free limited mold investigation and energy audit with each home inspection.
A limited mold investigation is a non-intrusive examination, designed to identify conditions in a home that suggest environments conducive to potential mold growth. Samples and laboratory tests are not performed as part of this free mold investigation; if recommendations for sampling and laboratory testing are made, the client can choose to have these services on a fee for service basis.
The energy audit saves our customers an average of $300 a year in utility costs

American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI)
- Always confirm that your inspector is qualified (a certified ASHI* inspector), and insured. Don't be fooled by false claims in these tough economic times, ask to see their ASHI inspector badge with a current date certification date. In addition, ask to see their current insurance carrier verification.
Unfortunately, some inspectors will say they are ASHI certified and insured to get your business, but they are not. We estimate that less than 10% the home inspectors in the area are certified ASHI inspectors. In addition, 1 in 3 inspectors have left the profession of the past 2 years of economic downturn in real estate. Recent surveys have indicated that less than half of home inspectors carry insurance coverage.
- The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) is the industry recognized nonprofit public-benefit organization of real estate inspectors.
- The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), founded in 1976, is North America's oldest and most respected professional society of home inspectors. ASHI's goals have always been to build customer awareness of the importance of a quality home inspection and enhance the professionalism of home inspectors.
- ASHI's Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice are recognized by the California Business & Professions Codes and are considered the standard of care by the real estate industry and legal profession.
- As a Certified ASHI Inspector, I have successfully passed a comprehensive written examination, and completed a number of reviewed peer inspection/reports on the myriad of systems and components in the construction and maintenance of residential dwellings. ASHI members must also complete a minimum 20 hours of approved continuing education annually.
