Fred Herndon Home Inspections
Fred Herndon Home Inspections
I started my Home Inspection business here in the Triangle area in 1994. My original experience was as a licensed general contractor with experience in the design, construction and renovation of homes in Durham, Chapel Hill, and Atlanta, Ga, but have been a full time Home Inspector here in North Carolina since 1997. My goal is to serve my clients by providing a thorough and detailed inspection that can give you a realistic picture of the home you are buying or selling. The inspection also includes free phone or e-mail consultation as long as you are living in the home. The report I use has been developed over the last 27 years of experience, and exceeds the requirements of the N.C. and ASHI Home Inspector Standards of Practice. It is a semi narrative with photos included in the summary. I try to write the reports so that realtors and repair contractors who may not have been at the inspection can understand what needs to be done, and why I consider it to be important. One of my long time goals has been to help improve the quality and professionalism of this industry. I have trained several other Home Inspectors and am currently an approved field trainer by the NC Home Inspector Licensure Board. I am past President of the N.C. Licensed Home Inspector Association, the state's largest association of Home Inspectors, and have served two terms totaling 8 years on the N.C. Home Inspector Licensure Board. During this time I chaired the Standards and Rules committee for three years, the Complaint Investigations and Education committees and served two terms as Board chairman. This has given me the opportunity to see the big picture of this industry and offer ideas on how we Inspectors can improve our services to the general public. Additional email - [email protected].
"Fred was wonderful to work with. He was very upfront about the process, charges, and everything was online, which was great given the current covid-19 pandemic. He was extremely thorough - he took 3 hours to carefully go through the entirety of the 2700 square foot townhome we are purchasing. He then spent an additional 20 minutes explaining each item to us in detail, which was great for a novice home buyer, like myself. He included photos of each item in the report, which was helpful to show the home owners and to serve as reminders. He was a pleasure to work with, and I'd absolutely hire him again!"

FAQs for custom home building projects in Hillsborough, NC
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
