How much does a home inspection cost?
Standard home inspections start at $375 for homes up to 2,000 sq ft, with add-on services like radon and IAQ testing priced separately (see the tables above) — and you'll get your exact quote before you commit when you

What does a home inspection actually cover?
Think of it as a head-to-toe physical for the house. It's a visual examination of the home's major systems — roof, exterior, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, attic, crawlspace or basement, interior, and built-in appliances — to document their condition at the time of inspection. It tells you what's working, what needs attention, and what needs a specialist before you close.
What does a duplex, triplex, or quadplex inspection cost?
Multi-unit buildings price at the $375 base — which covers the building shell (roof, foundation, exterior) plus the first unit — then $150 for each additional unit: duplex $525, triplex $675, quadplex $825. Every unit gets its own full interior inspection: kitchen, baths, HVAC, water heater, electrical. Multi-unit inspections are scheduled by call or text (270-681-0756) rather than online booking, so we can coordinate tenant access and utilities for every unit before inspection day. Radon on multi-unit buildings is quoted per ground-contact unit tested. Five or more units is commercial territory — call and we'll talk it through.
How long does an inspection take?
Typically 2 to 2.5 hours for an average home. Larger homes, crawlspaces, outbuildings, and add-on services can extend that.
Do I need to be there?
No — many clients aren't. You're welcome to attend, and either way your findings get talked through with you, not just emailed. If you'd like, you can even meet Kyle back at the house after you've read the report to walk through it together.
How soon do I get my report?
Within 24 hours — typically the very next morning. A full photo-documented report with findings prioritized by severity.
How far in advance should I schedule?
The more notice the better, but it depends on the current schedule. If you call early in the morning and there's availability, your inspection could even happen the same day.

What is radon, and do I really need the test?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps up from the soil into homes. You can't see it or smell it — testing is the only way to know it's there. It's the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and Kentucky is a high-radon state, which is why testing is strongly recommended with every inspection. Radon testing is $150 when bundled with your home inspection, or $225 as a standalone visit.
Can you repair the problems you find?
No — and that's by design. To keep the inspection honest, no repairs are performed on a home for the first 12 months after inspecting it. There's no incentive to find problems that aren't there. What is offered: a $175 re-inspection — whether that's verifying a contractor's repair work, or checking items that couldn't be evaluated the first time, like plumbing when the water was off.
Do you inspect in rain or winter?
Yes — inspections happen in any weather, though severe weather may force a reschedule for safety (and drones stay grounded in rain and high wind). Honestly, sunny weather right after a fresh rain is the best inspection condition there is: you can see exactly where the water goes.
How do I pay?
Electronically through Spectora, the booking and report platform (a 3% processing fee applies to card and internet payments) — or by cash or check on-site before the inspection begins, with no processing fee.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes — 10% off the base inspection fee for veterans and first responders, with proof of service (add-on services like radon, IAQ, and termite are priced as listed). Thank you for yours.
What areas do you serve?
Bowling Green and most locations within about an hour — including Warren County, Smiths Grove, Glasgow, Franklin, Scottsville, Russellville, Morgantown, Munfordville, Cave City, Edmonson County, and surrounding South Central Kentucky communities. Not sure if you're in range? Just call or text.
