In Houston property inspections cost around $350-$600 where a very general inspection is done by experienced home inspectors Houston has the following prices when the residents think about getting some services. 1. A pest inspection (termite inspection) costs around $100-$150 The amount you have to pay to get a home inspection done is nothing as compared to what you will have to pay if this problem is neglected and the damage is done. Therefore, getting a regular home inspection done is advised in order to detect the problem before it does any serious damage to the structure of your house. The price you have to pay for this is very minimal as compared to the repairs that need to be done if the termite infestations have attacked and buy enough time to make the wooden structures of your house completely hollow. 2.
