Pricing

How Much Does a Home Inspection Cost?

 

At ECE, we provide top-quality home inspection services at fair and competitive rates.
Our inspections start at $350, with pricing adjusted based on the size, age, and complexity of the home.
Travel within a 30-mile radius of downtown Kalama is included.

We believe in clear, upfront pricing, so you’ll find a full breakdown below—helping you plan with confidence.

While you may find lower-priced options elsewhere, these often come from inspectors with less experience,
limited tools, or minimal training. With ECE, you’re choosing a service backed by over 20 years of
construction and building expertise, advanced equipment, and a commitment to precision.

Inspection reports are delivered within 24 to 48 hours — so you can move forward quickly and confidently.

Your privacy matters:
We never sell or share your personal information with third-party vendors.
