FAQs

At Remarkable Home Inspection we do our best to answer all of your questions. Below you will find a list of what we believe are the most frequently asked questions. If you have any questions that have not been answered below, do not hesitate to contact us.

​

HOW LONG DOES THE HOME INSPECTION?

  • A typical inspection should take 2 to 3 hours to complete. This can vary, given the current condition and size of the home, accessibility of mechanical systems, and so on. 

  • As a courtesy to sellers, we recommend that they be informed of the time frame in a pre-purchase home inspection situation.

WHAT DO YOU EXAMINE?

  • We inspect the major systems of the house. These include, the Roof, Exterior, Structure, Electrical, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Insulation, and Interior. Our goal is to identify any existing major problems that would affect a typical buyer's decision to purchase.

HOW MUCH DOES AN INSPECTION COST?

  • Our typical fee for an inspection is $400+Taxes. However, some factors will affect the fee. If you are comparing home inspection firms, the fee charged should not be the deciding factor unless the level of service offered is identical. Remember, you are considering a major purchase and your choice of home inspector should be based on getting the best value, not just the best price.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE FEES

  • Complete home inspection conducted by an experienced professional.

  • Comprehensive written home inspection report

MAY I FOLLOW ALONG?

  • Definitely! We encourage you to attend, as the inspection is a valuable learning experience for most home buyers.

IF IT'S REALLY BAD, WILL YOU TELL US NOT TO BUY THE HOUSE

  • No. Our goal is to report on the condition of the house, indicating potential repairs and expenses. Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether or not you buy the house. The home inspection is very important but it is only one piece of the puzzle. Only you know all of the factors at play. Your real estate professional can help you here.

DO YOU OFFER A WARRANTY ON THE HOUSE?

  • A home inspection is a professional opinion based on less-than-complete information. It's a little like getting a check-up from your doctor. It improves your odds of good health but there is no guarantee or warranty. Some problems can only be discovered by living in a house; they cannot be discovered during a home inspection. For example, some shower stalls leak when people use the shower but don't leak when you simply turn on the shower. Some roofs and basements only leak when specific weather conditions exist. Some problems will only be discovered when carpets are lifted, furniture is moved or finishes are removed. As such, we cannot and do not offer a warranty on the house. Home warranty programs are available from others. We would be happy to help you contact a warranty company.
