Condo / Townhouse Home Inspection Costs
This comprehensive inspection stands out by including accessible areas of the building, with a primary focus on the subject unit. While many inspectors limit their scope to the subject unit alone, we go further by making observations in general, common, and restricted areas when access is permitted. We strongly recommend reviewing all strata documents, including engineering reports, to identify any potential issues and/or associated costs. If you need assistance reviewing engineering documents, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!

Duplex / Single Family Home Inspection Costs
A Home Inspection is a thorough yet non-invasive evaluation of a property’s condition, typically conducted during a home sale. However, inspections are increasingly popular for pre-listing assessments, new home quality control checks, and walk-through consultation services. Home inspections should always be performed by a qualified, licensed inspector with the proper training and experience. Keep in mind, an inspection reflects the condition of the home at the time of the visit and cannot predict future performance, efficiency, or lifespan of systems or components.

Homes Prior to 1950 & Suites - Why The Extra Charge?
Older homes often have unique charm and craftsmanship, but they also tend to require more time and specialized knowledge to inspect thoroughly. Construction materials, installation methods, and safety standards have changed significantly over the years, and homes from this era often include:
•Older electrical systems such as knob-and-tube or single-strand aluminum wiring
•Aging plumbing materials like galvanized steel or cast iron
•Layers of renovations and repairs done over many decades
•Materials no longer in use today, like asbestos or lead-based paint
•Difficult-to-access crawlspaces, attics, or service areas
These aren’t necessarily defects—many older homes are exceptionally well built—but understanding how all the systems interact takes more time and care. The additional fee reflects the extra effort required to provide a thorough, informed visual inspection—not a code evaluation, but a detailed review based on current safety and performance standards.
Suites - The suite fee reflects the additional time and scope involved when inspecting a secondary living area — whether it’s a legal suite or not. From an inspection standpoint, the presence of a second kitchen, bathroom, and living space means we’re evaluating a second layer of systems and finishes, including:
•Additional plumbing fixtures (e.g., second sink, toilet, shower), which need to be tested and assessed for function, drainage, and leaks
•A second kitchen setup, often with separate ventilation, electrical circuits, and appliances
•Added electrical demand and possible sub-panels or split wiring
•Separate heating and ventilation zones, and sometimes independent thermostats or space heaters
•Additional entryways, smoke/CO detectors, and egress considerations
Even when a suite isn’t legal, we still need to inspect and report on the components as they exist. It adds complexity to the inspection and reporting process, which is why the fee is in place.
