Return Trip Fee $75
- Pelican State Inspection charges a $75 return trip fee to the property if there were areas of the house that the inspector was unable to access or if the utilities were not connected for the scheduled inspection time. When scheduling your inspection please make sure all the utilities (Electric, Gas, & Water) are connected to the home. We require that all of the shut off valves are in the on position and that all pilot lights are light. Also request that the home owner move any personal items that restrict access to areas such as the attic access, the water heater, closets, and the electric panel.
Our standard pricing is based on a 60 minute travel time. The travel time is based on the trip time from our office to the inspection site and back. Additional fees may apply depending on the distance to and from the property.
Do not be a price shopper
Do not let price be the only consideration when shopping for a Home Inspector. There are some basic economic principles written by John Ruskin in the 1800's that still apply today.
- There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot do a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person's lawful prey.
- It's unwise to pay to much, but it is also unwise to pay to little.
- When you pay to much you lose a little money, that is all.
- When you pay to little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do.
