NC and SC Home Inspection cost

              Cost for Professional Inspection
               with a Detailed Informative Report

A new home is a very important purchase decision and you need a report that discloses details on what was found, not just a recommendation to call in a contractor.  My reports provide much more information than just the minimum needed to decide on a home purchase. NC and SC do not require inspectors to report on older roofs, older heating and air systems and older water heaters that are functioning but Bruce King will include all of this in the report summary as necessary. This is why you need a true independent inspector like Bruce King. A new roof, new heating and air and new water heater a few years later can cost between $10,000 - $20,000 and up.

Buying a home is a very serious decision. This is no time to shop for a cheap inspection or let someone talk you into a quick, easy inspection. The cost of a professional home inspection is very small relative to the cost of the home being inspected.  I do not solicit realtors for inspections therefore I can be the most detailed and thorough inspector available in the Charlotte and Rock Hill areas.

No extra charge for attached garages or carports.

Assistance with scheduling a termite inspection from a reputable company can also be given when the inspection agreement is faxed and received.

It is very important to fax the inspection agreement as soon as possible to ensure your appointment. If you do not have a fax, a local office supply store can help for a small fee. It can also be scanned and emailed.

houses, client must ask for this during first contact.

New homes under construction: (schedule early)

A good home inspection has everything to do with the amount of effort and time invested in the inspection process. Bruce King performs his inspections with a passion for doing the very best work for his client.

I have saved clients thousands of dollars on their homes and also
helped them to realize which homes may not be a good choice.

Double wide manufactured homes must be on a brick foundation and be less than ten years old to be inspected. Modular homes are also inspected.

Investment property and foreclosures in poor condition must be disclosed to the Inspector to obtain the proper fee.

Inspections in some distant areas and/or houses in poor condition require prepayment.

Commercial property inspections require more information on
the size, age, current use and intended use. Fees are based
on the type and level of inspection needed. Please email pictures of commercial property if possible.

Note: Construction phase inspections are not regulated by NC or SC and E&O, GL insurance does not cover these inspections. Full responsibility of construction and final product is retained by the builder and the builders insurance.
