House Inspector product
Turn an observation into a better repair-budget question
House Inspector can provide indicative ranges for planning. A useful estimate still requires a defined scope, location, measurements, access, materials, permits, and contractor review.
Who this page is for
House Inspector is a preliminary visual decision-support tool. It helps people document what they can see, organize follow-up questions, and prepare for conversations with inspectors and contractors.
- Buyers building a contingency budget.
- Investors comparing potential scopes.
- Owners preparing to request contractor quotes.
What the workflow includes
Capture clear, well-lit photos, add property context, and review the resulting observations before treating any item as confirmed.
- Document the condition and affected area.
- Separate diagnostic work from repair work.
- Record assumptions, exclusions, and regional context.
- Obtain comparable written estimates from qualified local professionals.
Important limits
A photograph shows one angle at one moment. It cannot reveal concealed assemblies, measure system performance, test materials, or establish code compliance.
- Preliminary ranges are not bids or guarantees.
- Concealed damage can materially change scope.
- Urgent safety work should not be delayed because of an online estimate.
