Nolan's Inspections, LLC

A professional home inspection is an impartial third-party  cursory and visual evaluation of the physical structure, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, roofing, interior and exterior.

In most cases the average home inspection takes between 3 to 4 hours depending on the size, condition and age of the property. This time frame can vary greatly as I don't know exactly what I will find until getting into the data collection process of the inspection. The compiling of data into a comprehensive and understandable home inspection report is another 2-3 hours. If necessary I may also research additional information on certain elements discovered during the inspection so that can also be adequately presented that in the report.

My comprehensive home inspection report is usually in your e-mail as an Adobe PDF file attachment the following morning (within 24 hours). A copy of the report can be provided to your real estate agent as long as we get your approval to share.

I've been asked about providing home inspection reports "on-site". The quick and responsible answer is:  "NO". All of the time I book with you is spent on the inspection of the property. My focus, as your home inspector, is on the critical data collection and sharing of this early information with you at the end of this time. As noted above it can take an additional 2-3 hours to write the comprehensive and detailed home inspection report that is your tool and guide to the condition of the property.

What is my fee schedule?

I prefer to look at what an inspection is "worth" rather than the cost. Consider the investment you are making in the property and weigh the inspection rate and value of data provided by the inspection. Your commitment for an educational inspection is well worth its cost. 

My inspection fees are based on the amount of time spent on an inspection. The estimation of the inspection time is based on the size and age of the home. Other items factor into the fee schedule as well including homes that have a pier and beam foundation.
