​What's the typical price for a home inspection?

Each inspection company comes with various qualifications, insurances, and credentials. Allco Inspection Services is one of the most qualified inspection companies in the state.

Our home inspections range from $200 up to $700 and above; as our inspections are based off square footage, age, and location. Typically, the bigger the property the more expensive the inspection. Our inspectors look at the property from top to bottom, inside and out. This is why we base pricing primarily off square footage.

However,  Allco offers a Price Match Guarantee. If you find another inspection company with similar credentials, insurance, and certifications, we will match their price.
