A home inspection is a comprehensive and non-invasive examination of a residential property's condition. The purpose of a home inspection is to provide an objective assessment of the property's overall status, including its structural integrity, safety, and the functionality of its various subsystems and components. 

There is a fixed fee of $500 for complete home inspections within the standard service area. The fee is reduced if only certain subsystems are to be inspected (electrical or heating/cooling for example). Standalone subsystem inspections start at $75.

After submitting a request, we will reach out via phone or email to confirm all details. The pre-inspection agreement will need to be signed (physically or digitally), and an electronic receipt will be emailed after payment has been made. The inspection will take place, and the electronic report will be sent either that day or the next. Finally, we will be available to answer any follow-up questions you may have.

Blue Bridge Home Inspection, LLC accepts cash, checks, and credit cards as forms of payment. Please note that there is a 2.75% processing fee for credit card transactions.

The complete home inspection will last roughly 6 - 8 hours. Standalone subsystem inspections range from 45 - 90 minutes. Clients are encouraged to attend (although not required) and ask questions throughout the inspection. The electronic report will be submitted either that same day or the following day. If there are time constraints, please let us know, and we will work with you to ensure there are no delays.
