Estimated Fees

Fees vary depending on your home inspector...but be careful of fees that seem too low to pass up. Less experienced inspectors will low-ball what they charge just to get experience in performing home inspections. Generally the fee amount should be based on the size of the home. The size of the home is a good indicator of how long it will take to inspect.
