Some of the factors in determining the inspection fees include the size and age of a house. While some companies charge very low fees, there is usually a reason for that. They typically do numerous inspections per day, and are willing to accept quantity over quality. What does that mean to you? Unfortunately that could mean that you are getting a poor quality inspection. We never schedule inspections back to back, and because of that, we will take the time needed to give you the type of inspection that you deserve.
The house you are thinking about buying is not cheap; going cheap on the inspector you choose is the wrong place in a home purchase to save a few dollars.
As per the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, on average, the home inspection costs between $300 and $500.
Absolutely! You can attend the inspection with a professional home inspector in San Antonio, TX.

Under the Texas Real Estate Commission SOP, It’s a visual examination of a house’s structure and systems such as;
Structural components like foundation, roof, walls, windows, fire places etc.. Electrical Systems such as entrance panels, sub panels, distribution, outlets, switches, lights, smoke detection, HVAC; Heat , cooling, and ducting Plumbing Systems; pressure, bibs, leaks, sinks, baths, drains, and water heating equipment
Appliances; dishwasher, disposal, stove vent, range/oven, microwave, bath/kitchen vents, garage opener Other Optional Systems such as sprinklers, detached structures, private well/septic systems, swimming pools.
Keep in mind that the inspector examines only what is visible and accessible. He’s not moving appliances or climbing onto a steeply pitched roof. He will report cracks in a wall but won’t be able to examine a slab foundation underneath wall-to-wall carpet or hardwood floors. Your inspector may find an issue that you would like inspected by a specialist, such as a structural engineer.
