How much does a home inspection cost?
Current starting prices are $325 for a one-family home, $350 for a 2–3 family property, and $400 for a Long Island inspection. Final pricing is confirmed after reviewing the property location, size, type, and requested scope.
How long does an inspection take?
Timing varies based on the size, age, condition, occupancy, and accessibility of the property. Tony will provide an expected time window when the appointment is confirmed.
Can buyers, sellers, landlords, and homeowners request an inspection?
Yes. NYS Home Inspector serves property buyers, sellers, homeowners, landlords, property managers, and investors who need a clearer understanding of visible property conditions.
