Pricing guide
Home Inspection Cost in Washington, DC
The price of a home inspection in Washington, DC depends on the property and the services included. For a current NextDay Inspect® price, request a quote with the address, approximate square footage, year built and any additional testing you need.
What sets the price
Three things decide the quote. Have them ready and the number comes back faster.
Property type and size
Tell us whether the property is a condo, rowhouse or detached home, including any additional living areas.
Age and access
Describe additions, renovations and access to the roof, attic, basement or crawlspace so the inspection scope can be confirmed.
Services and packages
Ask which services are included in the quoted total and which carry an additional charge.
Condos and rowhouses. For a condo, confirm whether the quote covers the unit only and discuss access to shared building systems. For a rowhouse with a separate apartment or addition, identify those areas when requesting your quote.
What a home inspection covers
A general home inspection reviews readily accessible systems and components within the agreed scope. Depending on the property and access, these may include:
- Interior and exterior components
- Plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems
- Installed kitchen and laundry appliances
- Roof, attic and visible chimney components
- Basement, foundation and visible structural components
- Fireplaces, doors and windows
Concealed areas, inaccessible components and systems that cannot be operated may be excluded or limited in the report. Discuss utility status and access before the appointment. Environmental sampling and specialized evaluations are identified separately in the quote.
Compare the scope and the report, not only the price
A home inspection documents the condition of accessible systems and components at the time of the visit and helps you decide where further evaluation may be useful.
For buyers
Read it before you decide
Review reported defects, maintenance needs and recommended follow-up before your property decision.
For sellers
Plan the repairs first
Use the findings to plan repairs and discuss the property’s condition with your agent.
Ask what is included, what access is required, when the report will be delivered and how you can ask follow-up questions. View sample inspection reports to compare the level of detail.
