Services and Fees
Residential Home Inspection - For Buyers
Starting at $425
This comprehensive inspection covers all major components of the home, from roof to foundation. Our licensed home inspectors examine structural components, exterior, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, interiors, appliances, and more – following North Carolina’s Standards of Practice to ensure nothing is missed. Ideal for home buyers or homeowners seeking an in-depth evaluation of the property’s condition.
Price starts at $425.
All standard inspections include a detailed digital report with photos, delivered within 48 hours or less.
Most inspections take around 2-3 hours on-site, with time built in to answer any of your questions and discuss findings.
Pre-Listing Inspection
- For Sellers
Starting at $425
Designed for homeowners preparing to sell. A pre-listing inspection helps you identify and address issues before listing your home. We perform the same thorough evaluation as a standard buyer’s inspection, so there are no surprises when you go under contract.
This service is popular in markets like Chapel Hill for pre-listing inspections, as sellers can fix or disclose issues upfront to facilitate a smoother sale.
Pricing is typically the same as a buyer’s inspection (starting at $425, size/age dependent). A great investment to help sell your home faster and with confidence.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
$400
This inspection takes place before the drywall or insulation is installed on a new build. We examine the structural framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins, etc., while they are still visible.
Catching issues at this stage can save time and money by ensuring the builder corrects them before walls are closed. Price is $400 for an average-size home (contact us for exact pricing on larger projects).
Builders and buyers alike benefit from this mid-construction check for quality and code compliance.
New Construction / 11-month Warranty Inspection
- for Homeowners
Starting at $425
Even brand-new homes can have defects. We offer a full home inspection for newly built homes (typically just before your final walk-through or closing).
This is essentially a Standard Home Inspection but focused on new construction nuances – ensuring everything was completed correctly.
Have a 12 month warranty on your new home? Let us handle your 11 month inspection to get all of your punchlist items taken care of before your warranty ends.
Maintenance Inspections
- for Homeowners
Starting at $425
Finally looking to do some work on your home and don't know where to begin? Need a trusted advisor to help prioritize renovations and upgrades?
We like to call these "son-in-law" inspections.

Add-On Services
Radon Testing – $125
We coordinate professional radon testing to check your home’s radon levels. This is a 48-hour continuous monitoring test performed by a qualified specialist (sub-contracted) and results are provided in the inspection report.
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas linked to lung cancer; testing is recommended in our region.
Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspection – $100
Commonly known as a termite inspection. We arrange for a licensed pest control professional to inspect the property for termites and other wood-destroying organisms (sub-contracted service).
You’ll receive a NC WDIR (Wood Destroying Insect Report) detailing any active infestations or damage. Essential for buyers using VA loans and for general peace of mind in our termite-prone climate.
