Home Inspection F.A.Q. Clicking on the questions below will open a new window with the answer to the question. If you have a question not covered here, please contact me. What is typically done during a home inspection? What is the format of your report? How much should I expect to pay? Why should I hire you? Don't all inspectors do the same thing? Why don't you do onsite reports? Can I be there while the inspection is being done? How soon after my offer is accepted should I schedule an inspection? The home I am buying is new and has a warranty. Why should I get it inspected? Is a home inspection a guarantee against any sort of problems?
