How home inspectors usually price
Home inspectors price by square footage with a base fee, then add age, crawl spaces and add-on tests. Most collect payment before the report is released.
Our guide on pricing home inspection work walks through it step by step, from your labor rate to the price on the estimate.
Where the ranges come from
8 of the 12 services carry a range. Each one comes from a koira.ai calculator that lists the cost guides behind it and the date they were checked: home inspection cost calculator. They are national figures; the calculators scale the labor share to your state's wages when you enter a ZIP.
Lines marked "Set your own" have no range we could source well enough to publish. Price them from your own hours and parts.
What it takes to deliver this menu
The starter kit behind these services: articulating ladder; flashlight and a headlamp; nonconductive voltage tester; outlet and gfci tester; moisture meter for building materials; thermal camera for a phone; screwdrivers and a nut driver; coveralls, knee pads and a respirator; inspection report software. The full tools list adds the pro kit and van stock, with maker prices where we could check them.
