Service fees are time sensative and actual fees are determined by detailed information gathered before services rendered and other factors such as size of building, travel distance and other ancillary services performed.
A simple mileage fee is applied only beyond the first 50 miles of travel to and from the inspection site to compensate for longer travel expenses.
Mileage fee Calculations: I include 50 round trip miles in all my service fees and apply $1.45/Mile thereafter for time and travel cost factors. thus, FIFTY (50) miles will be deducted from the total miles calculated to allow for included mileage.
(To calculate mileage to your location, Google Maps, Mapquest & Mappoint are used for ACTUAL mileage calculations. (245 Dillon Lane, Swansea, MA 02777 is the starting point for calculations)
Fees are for reference and subject to change or recalculation, confirmation by phone is necessary, 508-679-4118
NEW! On-Site Consultation:Iwill walk with you throughout the property as a professional building consultant (no written report involved).

I'm a home inspector and Trade School educated former carpenter/ builder with over 25 years experience. This service is good for possible buyers or for homeowner preparation for resale improvements.
This on-site consultation is an ideal time saver for parties that have not entered into a real estate transaction yet, but have the opportunity to access the property for professional consultation on site first. (this consultation is not a replacement for a real estate transaction home inspection in keeping with MA CMR-266 Regulations)if you decide later you would like a home inspection & report, We will be happy to provide this service for you. $195.
DRAW INSPECTIONS: Primarally performed for lendng institutions. Average 8-12 visits on site for new construction. The requested inspection by the builder/ borrower produces a photo report of the construction progress so the next scheduled draw check can be sent to the builder/ borrower.

Fees average $50.-75., more for longer distances.
