Prices

The cost of a home inspection is very small compared to the value of a house.  You have been shopping for every best deal you can find, looking for the best interest rate, adding up closing costs and crunching whatever number you can.

Do NOT let your real estate agent, or another inspector (who just graduated from the local "How to Be a Home Inspector" class) or even your best friend, talk you into skimping on the home inspection!  A NACHI certified home inspector, like Jay Markanich, performs the most experienced and ethical inspection in the industry.  A NACHI inspector might cost more or less than another inspector, but at any price they perform the best inspections!

A good inspector earns his fees many times over.  If you find that Jay Markanich charges a little more than "the other guy," do yourself a favor - pay a little more for the quality inspection that you deserve...

The following prices are subject to change at any time:

Pre-drywall Inspections - $250
Minimum fee for a small condo - $200, increasing from there.
Minimum fee for a complete home inspection - $275, increasing from there.
An additional $1 for each $1,000 in home value above $250,000. (For example, if the home costs $359,000, the inspection fee is $359.  This scale continues to a maximum of $475.)

Home Tuneup Energy Examination - $250 - $300 depending on distance traveled and size of the house.
