The Published Schedule
Square footage sets the price. Not the year on the permit, not the subdivision, not what the house next door sold for.

What to Actually Buy
This is where West Melbourne differs from anywhere else in the county, because the right basket depends on which side of I-95 the house is on.
New build, west of the interstate: a 2,400 sq ft house finished in 2021 is $395 for the full inspection, wind mitigation included free, and that is the whole invoice. No 4-point, because carriers do not ask for one until around thirty years. No sewer scope, because the drain line is PVC and it is four years old. Buying either of those on a house like that is buying an answer you already have.
Older House, East of I-95
The same 2,400 sq ft house built in 1972 is still $395, and now the add-ons earn their place. The 4-point at $75 in the same visit, because at fifty-four years old your carrier will require one and buying it separately doubles the price. The sewer scope at $265, because cast iron under a slab is the failure that costs more than everything else combined and it is the one thing nobody can see any other way. That is $735 all in, and it answers every question that decides whether the house is a good buy.
The One Everybody Skips
Wind mitigation, on a new house, because people assume a modern build automatically gets the credits. It usually does earn them, and an insurer does not apply credits you have not documented. It is free with a full inspection. There is no version of leaving it off that makes sense.
What Is Not on the Bill
No travel fee anywhere in Brevard County, including everywhere in 32904 and out past the interstate. 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 premium for a new-construction address, even though a house under warranty takes just as long to inspect properly as one that has been lived in for forty years.
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 the postcode.
Comparing Quotes
Fees on the Space Coast sit in a narrow band, so a number well under the rest is not a better deal, it is 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, which on a new build is exactly where the disconnected duct and the bath fan venting into the insulation are. The roof gets assessed from the driveway. No thermal imaging. And a report that never states which areas could not be reached, which is the one that costs the most later, because you have no way of knowing what was skipped.
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. And a report inside 24 hours with findings grouped by consequence rather than by room. The how to prepare page covers what has to be open and on before we arrive.
