What Happens After My Request Is Submitted?
Step 1: We receive your request
When you submit the online request form, our admin team is promptly notified. We will contact you through email with available scheduling options. Please note that our online form is NOT a living calendar; therefore, the inspection is not booked until confirmed by our team.
Step 2: You pick a time
Once we reach out with options, you will confirm the date and time that best suits your personal schedule.
Step 3: Your inspection is confirmed
You will then receive an email letting you know we have confirmed the inspection. Please pay close attention to this email and do not delete it. It contains time sensitive action items for you, the homebuyer, to complete immediately. If working with a Realtor®, he/she will receive this email, as well, so everyone stays on the same page.
Step 4: We keep you updated
For ease and a smooth inspection experience, we will send you communication several days leading up to, during, and after your inspection. We are available every step of the way!
Step 5: Inspection day
We invite you to attend the inspection! Plan for the inspection to take approximately 1 hour for every 1,000 square feet. We recommend clients and agents arrive towards the end of the inspection time for a personal tour and summary of the inspector's findings.
Step 6: Your report arrives
By noon the next business day, you'll receive an email notifying you that the home inspection report is published. Reach out to us with any concerns or questions about the report. We are always just a call or email away!

Policies
Payment
We require payment due before or at the time of service, unless you are eligible for the Pay At Closing option. After scheduling, you will receive an email containing a link to your unique inspection portal where you will sign all pre-inspection agreements and select your payment option. We accept credit/debit cards, cash, check, ACH, and eligible Pay At Closing.
Thank you for your partnership in ensuring our team is promptly paid for their hard work! Making prompt payment will prevent delays in receiving your inspection report.
Travel
We travel up to 60-miles round trip, free of charge! Any distance after 60-miles round trip is invoiced a fee. We calculate mileage from our business office to the inspection address.
Cancellation
We are flexible with cancellations and rescheduling if you let us know as soon as possible. We understand life happens. We also have a responsibility to our team to ensure that their hard work and time is compensated, so here's the compromise. If an inspection is canceled or rescheduled for any reason within 24 hours of the inspection start time, we add $150 to the client invoice. If it's outside of the 24 hours, we do not charge. Thank you for understanding!
