Home Inspectors Detroit Frequently Asked Questions

Our standard home inspection starts at $400 for homes up to 2,000 square feet. We inspect foundations, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. Same-day reports included.

Every home is different - call us at (313) 423-8737 for an exact quote on your property.

Most inspections take 2-4 hours depending on the size and condition of the home. Larger homes or those with more issues may take longer.

We don't rush. Every home deserves a thorough inspection - that's how we catch the issues that matter.

Yes - and we strongly recommend it. Your attendance is included in the price.

You'll learn about the property firsthand, see issues as we find them, and ask questions on the spot. It makes a huge difference in understanding what you're buying.

We check everything that affects the home's integrity and safety:

• Structural components & foundation
• Roofing & exterior
• Electrical systems (panel, wiring, outlets)
• Plumbing (pipes, water heater, fixtures)
• HVAC (heating, cooling, ventilation)
• Interior (walls, ceilings, floors, windows)
• Attic & insulation
• Basement & crawl spaces

As former builders, we spot issues other inspectors miss - because we've built and repaired these systems ourselves.

No - homes don't "pass" or "fail" inspections. Every home has some issues, new and old.

The purpose is to identify what's wrong so you know what you're buying. You can then negotiate with the seller for repairs or price reductions - often more valuable than any inspection fee.

Consider a mold inspection if you:

• Smell musty odors
• See water stains or discoloration
• Have had water damage (leaks, flooding, condensation)
• Have asthma or allergies
• Buying an older home with past water issues

We offer mold inspections at $500 flat rate - includes 4 air samples (2 inside, 2 outside) with professional lab results.

You'll get a same-day digital report that includes:

• Photos of every issue found
• Severity rating (Safety Concern / Needs Attention / Monitor)
• Repair cost estimates
• Recommendations for each finding
• Summary for your real estate agent

You'll know exactly what needs attention and roughly how much it will cost - no surprises.

Usually within 24-48 hours. Call us at (313) 423-8737 for same-day availability.

We're flexible and work around your schedule - including evenings and weekends.

Absolutely - it's one of our specialties.

We inspect 50+ year old homes, bungalows, colonials, and everything in between. Detroit's aging infrastructure has specific issues - we know what to look for because we've been working on these homes for years.

City/permit inspections check for code compliance - did the work meet current building codes?

Our inspection checks actual condition - what's working, what's failing, what's dangerous, what's about to fail.

Both are important and serve different purposes. A code-compliant home can still have major issues. We find both.
