The Published Schedule

Square footage sets the price. Not the age of the house, not the golf course view, not what it last sold for.

The Other Services

What a typical Suntree booking actually costs: a 2,200 sq ft house built in 1992 is $395 for the full inspection, with the wind mitigation report included free. The 4-point the carrier will want on a thirty-four-year-old house is $75 at the same visit rather than $150 on its own. That is $470 for all three. Bought separately they come to $670.

What Drives the Number

Size, and nothing else on the invoice. But it is worth understanding why an older Suntree house takes longer to inspect than a newer one of the same size, because that time is real even though you are not billed for it.

Where the Extra Hour Goes on a 1990s House

Tracing supply piping to establish what it is and where the visible runs stop. Getting into the attic to photograph the roof-to-wall connection for the wind mitigation form, which on a low-pitch truss roof means crawling somewhere unpleasant. Reading data plates on equipment old enough that the label has faded. Working the screen enclosure frame for corroded fasteners and anchor condition. On a newer build most of that resolves in minutes.

Why Square Footage Anyway

Because it is a fair proxy for the work. 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 job rather than what a Suntree address suggests you can pay.

Spending Less Without Buying Less

There is one genuine saving available here and it takes a single phone call.

Book It All in One Visit

A 4-point alongside a full inspection is $75 instead of $150. Wind mitigation is free instead of $125. That is $200, and it comes from scheduling rather than from anyone doing less work. Beyond that, do not buy inspections you do not need, and do not let anyone sell you a separate roof inspection when a full inspection already covers the roof.

What a Cheap Quote Is Buying You

Fees on the Space Coast sit in a fairly narrow band. When a number comes in well under the rest, the difference is almost always time on site, and it comes out of the same five places: the panel dead front stays on, the attic gets viewed from the hatch, the roof gets assessed from the driveway, there is no thermal imaging, and the report never says which areas could not be reached. That last one costs the most later, because you have no way of knowing what was skipped.

On a Suntree house, add a sixth. Nobody looks for the polybutylene.

Checking Things Yourself

Plenty of what a buyer wants to know can be checked on a second showing, and it is worth doing before you spend anything.

Run every tap and watch how fast the hot water arrives. Open and close every window and slider, which on a 1990s house is where you find failed rollers and fogged double panes. Read the date on the water heater and the condenser data plate. Ask the seller directly when the roof was replaced and whether there is a permit for it. What you should not do is get on the roof, take the cover off the electrical panel or go into an unlit attic, because the parts of this job that need training are the same parts that put people in the emergency room. Those stay with the person carrying insurance for it.

No. A 1987 Suntree home and a 2019 build of the same size pay the same. The older house takes longer, because the supply piping, the roof-to-wall attachment and thirty-year-old equipment all need documenting properly, and that time is included rather than surcharged.
No travel fee anywhere in Brevard, including all of 32940. No rush fee for same-day or next-day scheduling. No separate charge for thermal imaging, which is carried on every inspection. The only additions are 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.
For most original Suntree homes, a full inspection plus a 4-point. The full inspection tells you what you are buying, the 4-point is what the carrier will ask for on a house past thirty, and the wind mitigation report comes free with the full inspection and is the one that lowers the premium. Booked together that is $200 less than buying them separately.
Inspection fees around Brevard cluster fairly tightly. A quote well below the rest is usually buying 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.
You can walk a house and learn plenty, and you should. Run the taps, open every window, look at the water heater label, ask when the roof was done. What you should not do is climb on the roof, pull the dead front off the panel or crawl an unlit attic, all of which are how people get hurt. The parts of an inspection that need training are exactly the parts that carry risk.
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 rather than by room.
