    I would say $250.00 to 350.00. I guess it depends on where you live. When I bought my home I had an inspection done and it saved me more money than what the inspection cost because they found a problem with the central air unit. The compressor was out (bad). The people selling the home had the compressor replaced and the system checked out for a cost of over $700.00.

    It depends where you live. When I had mine inspected before I bought it, it ran around $150. Call some of the inspectors in your area to get an idea. If you need names and numbers, get a hold of a local Realtor and explain your project. They will be able to put you in touch with some inspectors. Good Luck!

    maximum inspectors at the instant are not contractors and function little or no on palms qualifications whilst it incorporates residences. Ask their history, you would be stunned that they are going to lie approximately their history/qualifications to lead them to look / look greater stated yet I even have stumbled on that maximum are low experienced and function purely taken on line and college room training on residences and don't understand the actuality of creating. additionally notice THE RECOURSE THAT THE contract supplies in the event that they MAKE A MISTAKE - THEY MAKE YOU sign which you will purely minimize THE regulation fit TO the cost of INSPECTION! this is the final minimize you want once you have the want to make confident your house is ok? i could propose you have a structural engineer to do the inspection which you hit upon! notice lower back, not one that works with many realtors as they'd want for realtor (destiny jobs) and unfastened sight which you employed them and want them for you and not for them! do not sign which you minimize your regulation fit volume... I even have finished many inspections and don't have a minimize... I instruct and stand in the back of my opinion.
