Confused by Your Home Inspection Report?
Get clear answers before you make costly decisions.
Home inspection reports can feel overwhelming — packed with technical jargon and long lists of findings. But here's the truth: not every issue flagged in your report is serious or expensive. Many items are routine maintenance, minor repairs, or cosmetic concerns that won't affect your home's safety or value.
That's where we come in. Ask a Home Inspector™ helps homebuyers and real estate agents cut through the confusion. Our licensed experts review your report with you, explain what really matters, and give you the confidence to move forward with your purchase or negotiate smartly.
What's Serious
We identify which findings are safety concerns, structural issues, or costly repairs — and which are just maintenance items you can handle later.
Real Repair Costs
Get honest estimates on what repairs actually cost, so you're not caught off guard or misled by inflated contractor quotes.
Clear Plan
Walk away with a prioritized action plan — what to fix now, what to monitor, and what to budget for down the road.
Negotiate Confidently
Armed with expert insight, you'll know exactly what to ask the seller to repair or credit — and what's not worth negotiating over.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the consultation?
We'll meet via video call to review your report together. We'll explain technical terms in plain English and help you understand what's serious, what's not, and potential repair costs.
How long does a consultation take?
Each consultation is 30 minutes, which covers most inspection reports. Complex reports may require additional time (extra fees may apply).
What if I don't have my inspection report yet?
You'll need your completed inspection report before we can schedule. We review your specific findings, so the report is essential for our consultation.
Do you provide written summaries of the consultation?
Yes, after each consultation we provide a written summary highlighting the key findings, priority items, and our recommendations. This gives you a reference document you can share with your agent, lender, or contractor.
Can you help with specific repair estimates?
We provide real-world cost guidance and ranges based on regional pricing — not written bids or contractor pricing. This helps buyers understand whether they're looking at $500 or $5,000, without the complexity of formal quotes. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge to discuss with sellers and negotiate effectively.
What areas do you serve?
Since our consultations are conducted virtually via video call, we serve homebuyers and agents all across Texas, regardless of your physical location.
Is this different from a second inspection?
Yes, completely. We do not perform a physical inspection of the property. We review your existing inspection report and provide expert analysis and clarification. We help you understand the findings of the inspection you already paid for.
