What a Detroit Home Inspection Covers
A standard InsideOut Inspections Plus, home inspection typically takes 1–2 hours and gives you a full picture of the home from foundation to roof. We provide a documented evaluation of every major system, not just a walkthrough.
Add-On Services For Detroit Home Buyers
To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, Detroit clients frequently pair their standard home inspection with key ancillary services.
Common add-ons include sewer scope inspections to check for main line root intrusion or blockages, and radon testing, which we strongly recommended since Michigan’s radon levels frequently exceed the national average. Buyers also regularly request water quality testing, pest or termite inspections, and mold/IAQ assessments.

About Detroit, MI
Detroit is a city steeped in automotive history that has evolved into a hub of culture, revitalization, and opportunity from historic neighborhoods like Corktown and Indian Village to a growing downtown and Midtown.
That mix of housing eras means every inspection is a little different: century-old homes bring aging wiring, settling foundations, and older roofing systems, while newer builds bring their own construction-quality questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Schedule an Inspection?
You’re welcome to call our office and speak with our team, or schedule online using our online scheduler.
How Long Does a Detroit Home Inspection Take?
A standard home inspection takes about 1–2 hours. Timeframes vary with the size and age of the home and any ancillary services you add, but our team approach keeps inspections shorter than most competitors.
How Much Does a Detroit Home Inspection Cost?
Most standard home inspections in Detroit run $375–$550, depending on the size of the home. Ask about FlexFund to pay at closing instead of at time of service.
Do You Inspect Older Detroit Homes?
Yes. Detroit’s mix of early 20th-century and mid-century homes is common, and our inspectors are experienced identifying aging-home issues like outdated wiring, foundation settling, and roof wear specific to older construction.
When Will I Receive the Inspection Report?
Typically you will receive the inspection report the same day the inspection takes place. There are some ancillary services that have a longer turn around time such as Radon Testing, Water Testing and Mold/Indoor Air Quality testing. Although, all comprehensive inspection reports are guaranteed within 24 hours.
How Do I Know What Ancillary Services I Need?
Its not always a simple question to answer as each scenario is different. However, asking the right question and utilizing the inspection companies responses will help guide you towards any additional services you may desire/require. (Some loans require certain ancillary services in order to close)
Do I Need to Attend the Inspection?
It’s entirely up to you. Many Detroit clients like attending so we can point out any defects in person and answer questions in real time, but it’s not required.
What Areas Do You Service?
We service the Southeast Michigan, Northwest Ohio, Northern Michigan and surrounding areas. Our primary cities are Monroe, Toledo, and Kalkaska.
Does an Inspector Need to Come Back to the Home After We've Had Repairs Completed?
Yes, we call these “Re-Inspects” and can add them after the inspection takes place. Call the office with the repair list you and your realtor negotiated, and we’ll send a trained inspector back to confirm the repairs were done properly.
How Do I Know if My Inspectors are Qualified/Experienced?
Whenever you are choosing a home inspection company for a quote, its best practice to ask some key questions such as:
- Are you licensed? (Ohio only)
- Do you carry insurance?
- Do you have any reviews and where can I see them?
- Do you offer any warranties or guarantees?
- What’s all included in the standard inspection?
I Have A Short Contingency Period. Can You Fit Me In?
Absolutely! We have a 24 hour “float” team available for our Southeast Michigan and Northwest Ohio locations. Which means we can nearly fit everyone in for their inspections Monday-Friday. (If given proper warning we can even accommodate a Saturday within 24 hours.)
