The Reality
If you've bought a home before, you know the inspection drill.
These are the situations we help Lexington customers solve every week.
- →Your last inspector finished in 90 minutes, sent a generic 12-page report, and missed a roof leak that cost you $8,400 six months later
- →Your real estate agent recommended their "preferred inspector" and you wonder whose side that person is actually on
- →You're under contract on a 1920s craftsman and need someone who actually understands old houses, not just builder-grade subdivisions
- →Your new construction has a CO and the builder is rushing you to close before you can inspect anything
- →Three inspectors quoted $385 to $680 for the same property and nobody explained what's different
Our Services
What we inspect.
Service · 01
Pre-Purchase Home Inspections
Full ASHI-standard pre-purchase inspections — typically 3–4 hours onsite for an average home, longer for older or larger properties. Includes thermal imaging on every inspection (most inspectors charge extra), walk-through with you live, and a written report with photo documentation delivered inside 24 hours.
Service · 02
Pre-Listing Seller's Inspections
Inspect before you list so your buyer's inspection delivers no surprises. Identifies issues you can fix on your timeline (not on the buyer's deadline), reduces re-negotiation, and accelerates closing. Most pre-listing inspections recover 4–7x their cost in protected sale price.
Service · 03
New Construction Phase Inspections
Pre-drywall, pre-CO, and final-walkthrough phase inspections for new construction. Catches the things builders' QA teams miss — drainage, framing, electrical rough-in, and pre-paint defects. Buyers in new construction subdivisions hire us specifically because builders pressure-close.
Service · 04
Specialty: Radon, Mold, Sewer Scope
Radon (Kentucky has high radon levels in many counties), air-quality and mold sampling, sewer-scope camera (catches root intrusion and clay-pipe collapse before you own them), and pool/septic inspections. Add to a regular inspection or schedule standalone.
The Difference
Why Bluegrass buyers and attorneys refer us.
ASHI-Certified, Not Just Licensed
Kentucky requires only state licensing — about 100 hours of training. ASHI Certified Inspector status requires 250+ inspections, peer review, exam certification, and continuing education. About 12% of Kentucky inspectors hold it. We do because the bar matters.
Thermal Imaging on Every Inspection
Most inspectors charge $100–$200 extra for thermal imaging (or don't offer it at all). We include it on every inspection. Thermal finds hidden moisture, missed insulation, and electrical hot-spots that visual inspection alone won't catch. It's why we find what others miss.
We Don't Work for Your Agent
We don't pay referral fees to real estate agents (most inspectors do — that's why they're "preferred"). We work for you, the buyer. Our incentive is finding everything you need to know before you sign — not protecting the deal so the agent collects commission.
24-Hour Written Report Turnaround
Inspection report delivered inside 24 hours of the on-site visit, with photo documentation, severity rating, and prioritized repair recommendations. Same-day delivery available on request. Real-estate attorneys specifically request our report format for closing-stage negotiations.
Common Questions
You probably want to know.
How much does an inspection cost?+
Standard inspection (under 2,000 sqft): $385–$465. Mid-size (2,000–3,500 sqft): $465–$565. Larger or older homes (3,500+ sqft, pre-1960): $565–$785. Add-ons: radon $145, sewer scope $185, mold sampling $245. Bundle pricing on multi-add-on inspections.
How long does an inspection take?+
Average 3–4 hours onsite for a typical home. Older, larger, or more complex properties run 4–6 hours. We invite you to walk with us for the last hour to review findings live. Written report delivered inside 24 hours.
Can the seller's agent be there?+
Sellers and sellers' agents are usually not present (most listings are vacant during inspection). Buyer's agent presence is fine but not required. If you can't attend, we do a live video walk-through during inspection so you can see findings in real time.
What's included in the report?+
Cover page with property and inspector details, executive summary, prioritized findings (Major / Moderate / Maintenance), photo documentation on every issue, thermal imaging where relevant, mechanical systems status, and a maintenance recommendation appendix. Typical report runs 35–60 pages.
Will you scare me out of the deal?+
No — our job is to give you complete information so YOU make the decision. Most homes have 30–60 findings; most are normal maintenance. We rate severity, give you a repair-cost ballpark, and let you and your attorney negotiate from real data — not fear.
Get the inspection your future self thanks you for hiring.
Schedule online or by phone. Most inspections scheduled inside 5 business days, often next-day during slow seasons. Inspection happens, report delivered in 24 hours — you go to closing knowing what you actually bought.
