Frequently Asked Questions

Pre-purchase structural due diligence inspections are $750-$1,450, with most inspections at $1,250, depending on home size and concerns identified by the general home inspector. Pricing is flat-fee with the PE-stamped report included.

We understand real estate timelines are tight. We can typically schedule within 1-3 business days and deliver the PE-stamped report 1-2 business days after the visit, fitting most NC due diligence windows.
