Quick answer
How much does a home inspection cost with Palm View?
Palm View's residential home inspections start at $290 for homes under 1,000 square feet built in 1978 or later, with tiered pricing by heated square footage, adjustments for homes built before 1978 and for crawl spaces, and no travel adjustment within our regular service area. Four-point and wind mitigation inspections cost much less as add-ons, and veterans, active-duty servicemembers, and eligible surviving military family members receive 10% off all services.

What affects the price, in plain language
- Size
- Larger homes have more rooms, systems, and roof area to evaluate, so residential pricing is tiered by living area under air.
- Age
- Older homes take longer: more materials to identify, more past repairs to evaluate, and more insurance-relevant details to document.
- Foundation type
- Crawlspaces and raised foundations require an additional, physically demanding inspection area.
- Location
- Inspections within our regular service area carry no travel adjustment. Requests beyond it include a $50 travel adjustment, based on availability.
- Bundling
- Four-point and wind mitigation inspections cost much less as add-ons to a home inspection, because the inspector is already on site.

Pricing questions
Why does home inspection pricing depend on square footage?
Larger homes have more rooms, fixtures, roof area, and equipment to evaluate and document, which takes more time on site and in the report.
Why do older homes cost more to inspect?
Older homes typically have more materials to identify, more past repairs and additions to evaluate, and more insurance-relevant details to document.
Are new-construction and 11-month inspections priced differently?
They follow the same residential price tiers. Pre-drywall inspections have their own tiers because the scope and timing differ.
Is there a discount for adding insurance inspections?
Yes. A four-point inspection is $45 and a wind mitigation inspection is $40 when added to a home inspection, compared with $135 and $115 stand-alone. Both together as a stand-alone visit are $175.
Do you offer a military discount?
Yes. Veterans, active-duty servicemembers, and eligible surviving military family members receive 10% off all Palm View inspection and testing services. If you qualify for more than one discount or inspection credit, we apply whichever saves you the most. See the Military & Surviving Family Discount terms.
