Possible Additional Fees
There are some things that can change the final home inspection price.
*OTHER* home inspection companies CHARGE EXTRA for things like::
- Crawlspaces
- Walking on the roof
- Following the inspector (some do this)
- Final sale price of the home
But Bulldog Professional Inspection Services only upcharges two things: SQUARE FOOTAGE AND DRIVE TIME.
01/
SQUARE FOOTAGE
Our price is fixed at $445 up to 1499 sq.ft.
This INCLUDES a state-certified termite inspection, which is something most other companies charge extra for.
For homes above 1499 sq.ft:
1500-1999sq.ft: + $25
2000-2499 sq.ft: +$40
2500-2899 sq.ft: +$50
2900-3499 sq.ft: +$60
For a home above 3499 sq.ft., call or schedule online for a price quote.
▶ PRICING EXAMPLE:
A 2700 sq.ft. house will be $445+ $50 = $495
NOT $445+$25+$40+$50 = $560
02/
DRIVING DISTANCE
Our price is fixed within a 50-minute (NOT miles) radius of our address:
Beyond that:
50 min. to 74 min. = +$86
75 min.+ = +$125
▶ FOR EXAMPLE:
If your home is 60 minutes away, you will need to add $86 to the total inspection price.
A Few More Worth Knowing
03/
RE-INSPECTION +$365
This is for the times you want us to GO BACK AFTER your home inspection and re-inspect items the seller agreed to repair.
This INCLUDES a report and photos.
04/
PRE-LISTING INSPECTION WALKTHROUGH +$250
This is an optional benefit with our pre-listing inspection program.
To increase the likelihood that your buyer DOES NOT hire their own home inspector, we offer a new buyer walkthrough.
We will return to the home to discuss the home inspection report with your new buyers and answer any questions they have.
05/
TRIP CHARGE +$300
We’ve been around long enough to understand that things don’t always go as planned.
Especially when a home is vacant.
So, if the home isn’t ready for the inspection when we arrive and we need to reschedule, the first trip is free.
But if we reschedule the inspection and the home is STILL not ready the second time we arrive and we have to leave again, this time there will be a $300 trip charge.
This partially covers the cost of occupying a block on our calendar, which makes it unavailable to someone else.

HOME MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS
The older your home, the greater the need for home maintenance.
But, not sure where to start?

07/
NEW HOME WARRANTY INSPECTIONS
Who’s going to help you get the MOST repairs done BEFORE your 12-month builder’s warranty expires?
Especially when it’s easy for a busy life to distract you from all the things that have cracked, bulged, split or broken since you’ve moved into your new home.
Including all the things you CAN’T see.
Our MaxInspect™ Process is perfect for new home warranty inspections. It checks everything we can see, touch, and test so there are no surprises – or regrets – once your first 12 months are gone.
Call us while there’s time.

08/
SHUT-OFF TAGS
Did you know your home has important valves and switches that every homeowner NEEDS to know about?
There aren’t many, but knowing where they are and what they do can make the difference between relief and disaster in an emergency.
That’s why every full home inspection includes colorful tags for all your major shutoff valves.
This includes:
- Furnace maintenance switch
- Gas shutoff valves
- Water heater shutoff valve
- Water main valve
This way you can spot them quickly when it matters.
We’ll even show you where they are so there’s no confusion after you move in.
