Every home inspection is different so there is not a single price. This will depend on size of the home, age of the home, any additional structures, additional services (HVAC and termite), distance to the inspection, etc. I work hard to keep my prices reasonable and as with anything you get what you pay for. Contact us today to price your home inspection.

We offer HVAC, termite, mold, pool inspections, radon tests and a well water test. You can get these as independent tests or along with your home inspection. A discount is available if both radon and water tests are added to a full home inspection.

Yes! We offer a 48 hour test with a high quality radon test unit and offer you an hour by hour report. Radon is a dangerous gas that is quite prevalent in our area so it is recommended to get a radon test along with your home inspection.

You will have your home inspection report on the same day as the inspection. If there is any delay for some reason we will contact you and give you a solid expectation of when you will receive your home inspection report.

YES! It is a smart thing to have a home inspection each year on the home you own even if you do not plan to sell it. By having an Annual Home Maintenance Inspection you can catch minor issues before they become bigger, be able to prepare for bigger repairs, and possibly catch life threatening issues such as a gas leak. This can be a great way to protect the value of your home. Call us today to order your Annual Home Maintenance Inspection.

I walk on every roof as long as it is safe to do so. If it is raining or snowing, is severely damaged, or too steep I will not walk on the roof. I do utilize a drone, assuming the weather is suitable, to inspect the roof if I cannot walk on the roof. There are many roofs that I can walk on parts of the roof, but not all of it. I will access as much as possible and note in the report when I cannot inspect a portion of the roof.

Absolutely! I welcome clients to join me for the home inspection. However, it is best to wait until the end of the inspection to get results of the inspection to reduce distractions. I follow a very specific system to complete the home inspection and reduce the chance of missing anything.

Yes! When we schedule your home inspection you will get a confirmation email, a pre-inspection agreement, and an invoice. In the email you can complete the agreement and you can pay online. Payment is not due prior to the inspection, but it is required before the report will be released to you.

We do offer full spectrum inspections for new home builds. We offer pre-drywall inspections and once the home has received its occupancy certificate from the county.

The fee you pay and service you receive will be based on what you tell the home inspector. Typically detached garages and guest homes are not included in a typical home inspection as these come with completely different roof, foundation, electrical, mechanical systems, etc. If you wish to have these inspected it needs to be requested at time of scheduling for an additional fee.

Yes! You do not have to order a home inspection to be able to get a radon inspection. It will be a 48 hour test with a high quality radon tester.

The purpose of a home inspection is to identify defects. A home inspection is not a building code inspection. When home is being built or remodeled code inspections are required. These type of inspections can fail. However, a home inspection is a detailed description of the home and the systems that make up that home. What you do with the information will be totally up to you. Home inspections do not get reported to any kind of regulatory agency so it is completely for your information.

A home inspection from Awesome Inspector LLC is a detailed and very thorough inspection of every system of the home. Our home inspections include detailed reviews of: Roof, Attic (ventilation, insulation, structure, etc), Exterior, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, Plumbing, Interior, Kitchen, Laundry, Chimney/Fireplace Inspection, Foundation, attached garages, Bathrooms. Every inch of the home that is visible and is otherwise available to be safely inspected will be reported on.

No. The job of a home inspector is to offer a list of defects and details of the home. Some inspectors can offer ranges for repairs, but typically this is done using an aggregate system to determine the most likely cost to repair. However, this is not authoritative as each contractor will determine the cost for their work. Contractors have vastly different costs estimating procedures and the quality of the contractor will also affect the price. You will get what you pay for, so going with the cheapest may end up costing you more in the long run.

In the home inspection report you will see language like “Recommend qualified contractor to repair.” In states that require licensure there are requirements in the language of the report. When a repair is needed it is likely that other issues are hidden and will not be known until the repair is fully evaluated with a more intrusive evaluation. So instead of offering a detailed repair option we recommend you contact the appropriate contractor to evaluate further.

A home inspection is a visual inspection only. This means that if personal belongings are in place or blocking certain areas, these will not be inspected. This typically is when significant items are in place. A small box or lamp may be moved if the inspector determines it can be without damage. Any locked areas will not be inspected. Access must be given to crawlspaces and attic spaces for full inspections.

A home inspection should be viewed as a check up by your doctor. Your doctor does a general overlook and if any issues are found they send you to specialists for more invasive checks. A home inspection is a great overview that will give you the information needed to move forward to have repairs made or more evaluations.

Many sellers do not know all of the defects in their home. They typically keep their home clean and take care of what is visible, but many items get missed. A home inspector’s job is not to judge the seller, but to give the buyer the ability to make an informed decision for your specific needs.

Every home is different and has some defects. Even brand new homes or recently remodeled homes have defects. Some are minor and some may be very significant. Having a third party look over a home is a smart way to get the confidence you need to make such an important decision.

Every home is different, but all homes have something in common: they have defects. From minor defects like a missing window screen to structural damage. From estimates seen in the home inspection industry the average home inspection has between 20-30 defects. Again, these can be minor so the number really isn’t that important. What really should be focused on is the severity of the defect, its ability to cause more damage or injury, or may cost significant amounts of money to fix.

A home inspector is not there to be “nit picky” but to just bring to the attention of whoever requested the inspection the items found. It is completely up to the client as to what to do with the information given. So you can have an inspection that only has 5 defects, but could be major defects that could pose harm or significant cost to repair. While you can have a home with 30 defects that could be repaired quite quickly and inexpensively.

If you order a home inspection read the report (not just the summary) carefully to make sure you know what you are dealing with.

Yes. If you have a home inspection and you want a follow up after repairs have been done we can offer re-inspections. Be mindful that there maybe some latent defects still present.

A typical home inspection takes 2.5 to 3 hours. However, depending on the size, the condition, and the systems installed in the home it can take more or less time.

State laws and regulations do not allow home inspectors to perform repairs. A home inspector becomes a neutral party that looks over the home and points issues out. You can then take that report as a guide to find contractors to make repairs.
