FAQ

Home inspection questions, answered

How much does a home inspection cost in Jacksonville, NC?

Pricing depends mainly on the home’s square footage, age and foundation type, plus any add-ons like radon testing. Call or request a quote online and we’ll give you an exact price up front with no surprises.

Are you licensed in North Carolina?

Yes. North Carolina requires home inspectors to be licensed by the NC Home Inspector Licensure Board, carry insurance, and complete continuing education every year. Our license number is listed at the bottom of every page.

What areas do you serve?

We’re based in Jacksonville and serve all of Onslow County plus nearby communities including Swansboro, Sneads Ferry, Richlands, Holly Ridge, Topsail Island, Emerald Isle, Cape Carteret, Morehead City, Newport, Havelock, Maysville and Beulaville.

How soon will I get my report?

Usually within 24 hours, and often the same evening. Reports include photos, clear descriptions, and a summary of the most important findings.

Does a home inspection include a termite inspection?

We note visible evidence of wood-destroying insects and conditions that attract them. The official NC Wood-Destroying Insect Report (often required by lenders) must be completed by a licensed pest control company, and we can help you coordinate one.
