Home Inspection Services FAQ

What is a home inspection?

A home inspection is a visual examination of a property's structure and systems. It helps identify issues—big or small—so buyers, sellers, and homeowners can make informed decisions.

How long does a home inspection take?

Most inspections take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the property’s size, age, and condition. 

Do I need to be present for the inspection?

You are welcome to attend the home inspection, but it’s completely up to you. After the inspection, we’ll spend about 30 minutes walking you through the key findings and important areas. 

How much does a home inspection cost?

Prices vary depending on the home’s size, age, and location, but typically range from $400 to $800. 

Do you inspect condos or townhomes?

Yes! Mr. Reliable Home Inspections inspects single-family homes, townhouses, and condos. For strata properties, we’ll identify which components fall under strata responsibility so you can address them at your strata meetings.
