Results explained
The headline is inspection fee × visits, plus flat add-ons, then × the state multiplier. It is a midpoint, not a licensed inspector’s quote.
Quick reference: inspection midpoints
U.S.-average planning fees before the selected state adjustment.

How the estimate is built
Total ≈ (visits × type fee + Σ add-ons) × state multiplier.
Example scenario
One typical house inspection at U.S. average is about $450. Adding radon and sewer scope brings the sketch to $950 before state scaling.
FAQ
Is this the buyer’s inspection?
Usually yes — sellers sometimes order a pre-listing inspection with the same fee sketch.
Does this include repairs?
No. Inspection finds issues; contractors bid the work.
Why add radon or sewer?
Those are separate specialists or extra equipment on many jobs.
