There is not really any set standard fee for an inspection. Prices can vary dramatically in local areas, not to mention across the nation. On average, most inspections will vary between $8 and $12 per 100 square feet, with additional fees for extra systems. It is all too often that cost is the deciding factor in the selection of an inspector. Service and experience should be the key words here. Some Inspectors are committed to providing the best inspection possible. These Inspectors spend a lot of time and money towards continued education and the many little things that make a big difference in the quality and professionalism of their service. Do not let a small amount of money stand in the way of a quality inspection of such a large investment.
The old saying will always hold true. "You are likely to get exactly what you pay for." When hiring an inspector to review what may be the largest investment of your life, I recommend that you consider quality and reputation prior to price.
