Pricing


PRICE SCHEDULE

Prices are general in scope and are subject to change at any time without notice. Prices vary based on location of the inspection as well.

Thank you so much for considering our services. When hiring a home inspector there is a lot to consider. One of the things to consider is pricing. But there is more. For example, check out the following pages: Is Your Inspector Qualified? | Licensed-Insured-Bonded. Nickelsen Home Inspections, LLC caters it’s services to clients who are looking for very good home inspection services and home inspection reports: we are not the cheapest option, and have no intention to be so. Like any industry, from real estate to construction, from business supplies to airlines, there are always going to be “bottom feeders”. Just like you have the option of having a General Contractor or a handy man, yet both can be considered “contractors”, the home inspection industry offers consumers a wide array of options and prices change accordingly. Really, when hiring a home inspector you aren’t necessarily comparing apples to apples; you are usually comparing apples to oranges. This isn’t a bad thing, it is part of economics. If after considering the referenced pages, after asking us for a sample copy of a home inspection report, and if after discussing our services over the phone or by email you are still interested in only getting the cheapest conceivable inspection we are more than happy to help you find that person. In fact, we know who they are and we would be very happy to put you into contact with them. Again, we mean this sincerely: we have referred many clients who are interested in price alone to other inspection companies in the past and we are more than happy to do so. But, if you want us, we would be honored! Generally we are going to be $10-$75 more than most of our competition, depending on the size and age of the property being inspected, or the type of service being provided. Sometimes our prices are the same, and sometimes, though rarely, they are cheaper.

• Condo Inspections: Call or email us for price quote.
• Home Inspections: Starting at $300 and go up from there based on age, square footage, general condition, location of the property and the day and time the inspection is performed. Older homes or larger homes take more time than say a 800square foot (sf) home that is one level and brand new: so a 1200sf house that is new is going to cost significantly less than a 4000sf house or a 90 year old 1200sf house. Inspections can run from 2 hours to 4 hours depending on age and size, and the prices reflect the amount of time the specific home will take to inspect. All full home inspections include at no additional fee a “pest and dry rot inspection” (some inspectors give you a price quote for just a home inspection, but then charge you for a pest and dry rot inspection—we include Pest and Dry Rot inspections for free if we are doing a full home inspection). We do not include unfinished square footage, such as unfinished basements or garages, in our price quotes (some inspectors charge for this square footage). Garages and unfinished square footage, such as basements, are included at no additional charge. Example: if you have a 1700sf house and an 800sf garage we are charging you based on a 1700sf house only. If you have a 2000sf unfinished basement, we do not charge more for this square footage. For an accurate price quote please call or email us.
• Pest and Dry Rot Inspections Alone: $175 to $225 depending on location and the amount of paperwork needed. We are able to supply all of the paperwork needed for most types of loans which may require pest and dry rot inspections. Call or email us for a price quote.
