Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does a home inspection take in Grand Haven?
A: Most homes take anywhere from 1.5 - 3 hours depending on size, age, and condition. Larger homes can take longer. We’ll walk you through what we find in real time and deliver the same-day report.
Q: Do I need to attend the inspection?
A: It’s optional and we highly recommend it, but do not require it. If you decide to attend, you’ll have the benefit of seeing any issues first-hand and can ask questions to the inspector on the spot. Oftentimes, the ‘issues’ found are not deal breakers but may look different when presented on a report. But if you are unable to attend, your report will be detailed with photos and summaries. We are always available to answer any questions after the fact as well!
Q: When will I receive my inspection report?
A: We provide same day reports. You’ll receive a mobile-friendly link with photos and summaries.
Q: What does a Grand Haven home inspection include?
A: We evaluate the major systems: roof, exterior, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, and more. We don’t open walls or move heavy items, and we don’t quote repairs, but we do flag safety and maintenance priorities.
Q: How much does a home inspection cost in Grand Haven?
A: Pricing varies by size/age and add-ons (radon, sewer scope, well/septic, chimney). Standard inspections typically start around $425. Visit our Pricing page for exact pricing.
Q: Should I add radon or a sewer scope to my home inspection?
A: In Grand Haven and the West Michigan lakeshore, we recommend radon testing for most homes and sewer scopes for homes with trees, clay/older lines, or any slow drains. These small tests can prevent big surprises.
