Home inspection cost is one of the first questions buyers and sellers ask, and the honest answer is: it depends. A handful of factors change the price from home to home, but the cost is small compared to what an inspection can save you in avoided repairs or renegotiated closing costs.
What Affects the Cost of a Home Inspection?
- Square footage — larger homes take longer to inspect thoroughly.
- Age of the home — older homes often have more systems to evaluate and more wear to document.
- Foundation type — crawl spaces and basements add inspection time compared to a slab.
- Add-on services — thermal imaging is typically priced separately from the base inspection.
- Distance — properties further from Somerset may include a small travel consideration.
What's Included in a Standard Home Inspection?
A standard inspection covers the major systems and structure of the home: roof, exterior, foundation and structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic and insulation, and interior components. You'll receive a digital report with photos, clear descriptions, and any deficiencies flagged with recommendations — see a sample report to know exactly what to expect.
Add-On Services and Their Cost Impact
Depending on the home and your needs, you may want to bundle in an additional service:
- Thermal imaging — spots hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Bundling add-ons with your base inspection is usually more cost-effective than scheduling them separately.
