How Much Does a Home Inspection Cost?

One of the first questions buyers, sellers, and agents ask is: “How much does a home inspection cost and when do I pay for it?” It’s an important part of budgeting for your real estate transaction, and understanding the details can help you plan with confidence.

How Much Does a Home Inspection Cost?

The cost of a home inspection depends on several key factors:

• Size of the property: Larger homes take more time to inspect.

• Age and condition: Older homes often require a more detailed evaluation.

• Additional services: Add-ons such as radon testing, mold inspections, or sewer scans increase the overall price.

In the DC and Maryland area, most residential home inspections range from $500–$1000, depending on square footage and service package. Commercial property inspections typically start around $750 and increase with building size and complexity.

Each inspection includes a comprehensive evaluation of the home’s structure, roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and more plus a photo-rich, easy-to-read report delivered within 24 hours.

When Is Payment Due?

Payment is typically due before the inspection.
We make it simple by accepting secure online payments, debit/credit cards, or checks on-site.
If you’re scheduling multiple services such as radon, mold, or sewer scope testing, everything can be bundled into a single invoice for convenience.

Why This Matters

Paying promptly ensures that your inspection report is delivered without delay, keeping your real estate timeline on track. It also confirms that your appointment is secured and prioritized, especially during the busy buying season.
