This typically includes exterior grading, the foundation, walls, eaves, soffits, roof, interior condition, and visible structural components. The inspection also includes plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, along with appliance testing where applicable.
How much does a home inspection cost?
Most home inspections cost between $450 and $650, depending primarily on the square footage of the home. Larger or more complex properties may require additional time and affect the overall inspection price.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most home inspections take between three and four hours depending on the size, age, condition, and accessibility of the property. Larger homes or older homes with more systems to evaluate may require additional time. At Boone Home Inspections, we take the time needed to complete a thorough inspection and provide accurate findings.
Should I attend the home inspection?
