Inspection duration, report page count, and a realistic price range with add-ons - so you know what to expect before you book.

Common questions
How much does a home inspection cost in 2026?
A standard inspection on a 2,000 sqft single-family home runs $375-$550 in most markets. Older homes and add-ons (sewer scope, pool, radon) can push the total to $700-$1,000. Rural areas often run 15-25% cheaper; major metros 20-30% more.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most inspections run 2-4 hours depending on size and age. Larger, older homes or those with add-on inspections can take 5-6 hours. You should plan to attend - you learn more from 3 hours with the inspector than from reading 40 pages of report.
Is a sewer scope worth the extra cost?
Almost always yes on homes over 25 years old. Sewer line replacement costs $8,000-$25,000. A $300 scope that finds a cracked or root-invaded line pays for itself instantly. Many buyers negotiate repair credits from inspection findings.
