The Best Modern Report In the Industry
While Purvue Real Estate Inspections encourages clients to attend the inspection when possible, we understand that schedules don’t always allow it. Whether you’re present or not, our process and level of detail remain the same.
Following the inspection, we compile a comprehensive, photo-rich report using Spectora that clearly outlines the condition of the home and any notable findings. Reports are typically delivered within 24–48 hours, depending on the size, condition, and complexity of the property.
We’re always available to review the findings, answer questions, and discuss the report with you and your agent.
Keeping You Well-Informed Frequently Asked Questions
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a visual evaluation of a property’s major systems and components at the time of inspection. This typically includes the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, and interior and exterior areas of the home.
The purpose of a home inspection is to identify material conditions, safety concerns, and visible defects that may affect the function or value of the property. Inspections are not technically exhaustive and do not predict future performance, but they are designed to provide a clear, practical understanding of the home’s overall condition.
Purvue Real Estate Inspections focuses on clear communication and detailed reporting so clients can make informed decisions and know what to address next.
How much does a home inspection cost?
Home inspection pricing varies based on several factors, including the type of property, square footage, age, and overall complexity of the home.
At Purvue Real Estate Inspections, pricing typically starts at $349 for condominiums, with single-family homes starting around $489. Final pricing may vary depending on the size of the home, number of units, and additional considerations such as accessibility or specialized systems.
To ensure accurate pricing, we encourage clients to contact us or schedule online so we can account for the specific details of the property.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most home inspections typically take 2 to 4 hours to complete. The exact duration depends on several factors, including the size and condition of the home, accessibility to areas such as the roof, crawl space, and attic, and the number of systems present.
Homes with multiple bathrooms or kitchens, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), multiple HVAC systems, or multiple electrical panels may require additional time to allow for a thorough and accurate inspection.
Should I attend the inspection?
While clients are always welcome to attend the inspection, attendance is not required. We understand that inspections can be time-consuming and schedules don’t always allow for it.
For those who choose to attend, the inspection can be a great opportunity to become familiar with the home, ask questions, and walk through key findings. Regardless of attendance, all findings are clearly documented in a detailed inspection report.
What if the inspection report reveals problems?
It’s important to understand that no home is perfect. Most inspection reports will note some issues, ranging from routine maintenance items to conditions that may warrant further evaluation or repair.
Following the inspection, we provide a detailed report that describes the physical condition of the property at the time of inspection, including photos and videos to help clearly illustrate the findings. The purpose of the inspection is to provide information—not to determine whether a home “passes” or “fails.”
Clients are encouraged to review the report carefully and consult with their real estate agent and qualified contractors as needed to determine how the findings may factor into their decision.
