What does the inspection include?
This question is often asked when people call for more information or a quote on an inspection and it’s actually quite simple.
Everything is included on the inspection and I use all of the tools in my bag to find as much information about the home as possible.
Now all home inspections are a limited visual review of the home but there shouldn’t be an extra charge or no information on components of the home because you need to pay an extra $50 or $100. Many inspectors won’t use thermal imaging or look at the roof if it’s not accessible.
You DON’T want the inspector to leave out items because you chose not to pay extra and definitely be skeptical about a basic fee with packages that offer higher quality service or warranties.
I have never offered any other “type” of inspection and inspectors should be giving as much information as possible with high quality service right from the start - If the inspection fee is significantly less than others quotes, then there is a reason 💸
