"Victor was helpful from first contact. I needed to get a home inspection for my client and we were on a short timeline. We scheduled it for the prior day but my client requested the inspection be done within two hours of first contact. He flexed his schedule and was able to accommodate our needs. He was extremely thorough and delivered a comprehensive report within 15 minutes of having completed the inspection. I would recommend him and will reach out to him again in the future."
"The team was respectful of my property and worked diligently to ensure that the project was completed within the timeframe and budget we had discussed."
"This was not the first time using an Air Quality inspection company. They were help full, accessible, timely, accurate, and provided an analysis report that included a representative to review and answer questions. They also provided a referral to a remediation company that approached the issue in an efficient and cost effective manner."
"Although Johnâ s company is 120 miles away from my place, he was able to provide me a very good engineering service for a good size job of opening up four rooms into a huge great room environment. He has many years of engineering experience in wide range of complex jobs with high quality of interaction with customer without much of delay. He is my go to engineer for my next remodeling project on other property in near future. Tsbiker Hollister, CA"

Yes, in most cases, you can negotiate and make a counteroffer after a home inspection. If the inspection reveals issues with the property, you can use these findings as leverage to reduce the purchase price. Your counteroffer should account for the estimated cost of necessary repairs, and it's important to find a reasonable balance to increase the chances of the seller accepting. The main exception is if you waived the home inspection contingency to make your offer more appealing. In that situation, while you can still have an inspection done for your own information, you have no contractual recourse to make a counteroffer based on the results.
The cost of a home inspection varies depending on several factors. On average, you can expect to pay between $280 and $400, with a typical cost around $350. However, the full price range can be anywhere from approximately $187 to $510. The final cost is influenced by the home's size, age, condition, and location, as well as the inspector's experience and the depth of the inspection. Larger homes (e.g., over 2,000 square feet) and older homes typically cost more to inspect, as they may require checking for issues like structural deterioration or asbestos. The price may also increase if you need specialized services, such as asbestos testing, thermal imaging to detect infestations, or detailed checks for energy efficiency, structural integrity, or electrical problems. In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection. While it is an upfront cost, a thorough inspection can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs.
Homeowners can conduct basic visual inspections and cleaning, but professionals provide thorough checks that identify hidden issues safely.
These are some of the critical considerations when planning to make your home accessible:
How wide are your doorways, wheelchair ramps, hallways, and pathways? These should be at least 32 inches wide.
Which bathroom modifications will be necessary?
Do you need to lower any cabinetry or other fixtures to make them accessible for wheelchair users?
Is there enough room to turn around in the shower?
Is there a second story of the home that requires a stair lift?
Is there proper lighting outside in the dark? If not, a floodlight may be necessary.
To determine if your house has dampers, inspect the ductwork for levers or handles, particularly near the main trunk line of your HVAC unit. Dampers are typically found in homes with ducted heating and cooling systems, but not all houses have them, as some builders may omit them to save on construction costs. If you cannot find any dampers or wish to have them installed, it is best to contact a local HVAC professional. While you can install them yourself, it may require significant work and could involve a partial air duct replacement, potentially costing $1,000 or more.
