FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Send it through with your quote request and the local inspector will get back to you.

How much does a pre-purchase report cost?

Pre-Purchase Builders Report pricing depends on the property: size, age, and location. Submit the quote form with a rough description and the inspector covering your town will come back with a firm price.

How quickly can the report be turned around?

For pre-purchase work, written reports are usually with you within one to two business days. Faster turnaround is available on request when you're on a tight offer timeline.

Is the inspection invasive?

No. The default scope is non-invasive: visual inspection of the accessible parts of the home, plus moisture readings on suspect areas. Invasive testing (where the vendor permits) is an optional add-on.

Can multiple report types be combined?

Yes. Pre-purchase, meth testing, moisture checks, and Healthy Homes can be bundled into a single visit if booked together.
