Question 21

How much does an estimate cost?

Accepted Answer

$89 per property. That is the whole price: there is no subscription, no call out fee and nothing to pay for the inspection report itself.

It covers up to 15 itemized repair line items, priced by a licensed contractor from your inspection report and delivered within 24 to 48 hours.

If your report needs more than 15 items, we add them and tell you what the extra comes to before anything is charged. You pay that balance from your own dashboard, and you see every item either way.

Question 22

Is there anything else to pay?

Accepted Answer

Not for the estimate. The $89 is the only charge unless your report runs past the 15 included line items, and we tell you before that is added.

The repairs themselves are separate. If you decide to have the work done, that is arranged and paid for directly with the contractor, not through us.
