The Published Schedule

Square footage sets the price. Not the age of the house, not whether it is on a canal, not what it last sold for.

Full Home Inspection

The Other Services

The saving that people miss: book everything in one visit. A 2,200 sq ft Merritt Island home is $395 for the full inspection, with wind mitigation included free. Adding a 4-point at the same visit is $75 rather than $150. Bought separately those three come to $670. Booked together they are $470.

What Is Not on the Bill

No travel fee anywhere in Brevard County, including across the causeway to Merritt Island. No rush fee for same-day or next-day scheduling. No separate charge for thermal imaging, which is carried on every job rather than sold as an upgrade. And no surcharge for a waterfront property, even though a canal lot takes longer because the seawall, dock and lift get documented too.

Why Square Footage

Because it is a fair proxy for time. A 3,000 sq ft house has more roof, more rooms, more fixtures and more circuits than a 1,200 sq ft one, and inspecting it to the same standard takes proportionally longer. Pricing on size means the fee tracks the work rather than what a waterfront address suggests you can pay.

Comparing Local Quotes

Fees on the Space Coast sit in a fairly narrow band, and a number well below the rest is buying you a shorter visit.

Where a Cheap Inspection Saves Its Money

The panel dead front stays on. The attic gets viewed from the hatch rather than entered. The roof gets assessed from the driveway. No thermal imaging. And a report that says nothing about the areas it could not reach, which is the one that costs the most later because you have no way of knowing what was skipped.

On a canal property, add a sixth: the seawall never gets mentioned.

What This Fee Buys

Three to four hours on site. Panel opened. Attic entered where it can be reached. Roof walked where the pitch and covering allow, with the method stated per slope. Every fixture run. Thermal imaging confirmed with a moisture meter. Waterfront structures photographed and reported. And a report inside 24 hours with findings grouped by consequence rather than by room.

No travel fee anywhere in Brevard, no rush fee for same-day or next-day scheduling, and no separate charge for thermal imaging, which is carried on every inspection. The only additions are the optional services: a 4-point at $150, or $75 alongside a full inspection, and wind mitigation at $125 which is free with a full inspection.
No. The schedule follows square footage. A canal home takes longer because the seawall, dock and lift get documented as well, and that time is included rather than surcharged.
Inspection fees around Brevard cluster fairly tightly. A quote well below the rest is usually a shorter visit rather than a cheaper inspector, and the savings come from the same places every time: panel left closed, attic viewed from the hatch, roof assessed from the driveway, no thermal imaging.
Book the services you need in one visit rather than separately. A 4-point alongside a full inspection is $75 instead of $150, and wind mitigation is free rather than $125. That is $200 saved on one phone call. Beyond that, do not buy inspections you do not need.
Three to four hours on site, panel opened, attic entered where accessible, roof walked where safe with the method recorded per slope, every fixture run, thermal imaging confirmed with a moisture meter, and a photographed report within 24 hours with findings grouped by consequence.
