Straightforward, honest pricing
Every home is different, so we don't pretend one number fits all. Your price depends on the size and age of the home — and whatever it's quoted at up front is what you pay. No surprise fees, no report charges, no fine print.
Quick answer: A home inspection in Bakersfield is priced mainly by the home's square footage and age, plus any add-ons like a crawlspace or extra structures. Use the calculator below for a free, instant quote in under a minute — or call (661) 437-1657.

A transparent quote, built around your home
Rather than a fixed price list, we quote each inspection on what actually drives the work. Here's how a typical property maps to a quote — and what's included every single time.
Standard Home Inspection
For most single-family homes, condos, and townhomes at typical square footage and age. The everyday buyer's inspection.
- Full walk-through, foundation to roof
- Priced on square footage & age
- Photo-documented report
- Plain-language summary of findings
- ~24-hour turnaround
Larger / Older Home
For homes with more square footage, added age, a crawlspace or basement — where a careful, thorough inspection simply takes more time.
- Everything in a standard inspection
- Crawlspace / basement assessment
- Extra time for age-related systems
- Detailed review of older wiring & plumbing
- Same photo report & ~24-hour turnaround
Add-on Services
Extra structures or scopes layered onto any inspection — priced individually and always disclosed in your quote before you book.
- Detached garages & guesthouses
- ADUs & additional dwelling units
- Outbuildings & workshops
- Re-inspection after repairs
- Bundled into one clear total
No published price list means no bait-and-switch. Every quote is firm, all-in, and given before you commit.

The cheapest inspection is the one that saves you a fortune
A home is likely the biggest purchase you'll ever make. A single undiscovered problem — foundation movement, a failing roof, aging electrical — can cost many times the price of the inspection. That's the value: knowing the truth before you sign.
Certified & accountable
Every inspection is performed personally by Bryan Broome, a Certified Home Inspector who signs his name to the work.

Answers before you ask
How much does a home inspection cost in Bakersfield?
The cost depends mostly on the size and age of the home, plus any add-ons like a crawlspace or additional structures. Use the free instant quote calculator above for an all-in price in under a minute — or call (661) 437-1657.
What affects the price?
Square footage is the biggest factor, followed by the age of the home, whether there's a crawlspace or basement, and any extra structures like a guesthouse, detached garage, or ADU. Older and larger homes take longer to inspect thoroughly, which is reflected in the quote.
Do you charge extra for the report?
No. Your full photo-documented report and plain-language summary are always included in the quoted price. There are no separate report fees, no rush charges hidden in the total, and no add-ons that appear after the fact — the number you're quoted is complete.
How do I pay, and when?
Payment is typically due at the time of the inspection, and Bryan will confirm accepted methods when you book. You'll know the exact, firm price before you commit — the number quoted is the number you pay.
