Frequently asked questions

Do I need a home inspection first?

No. The $20 Pre-Inspection Report works from just the address — it reads sales, permits, age, and neighborhood data. If you already have the inspector's PDF, the $99 Full Repair Report prices every defect in it.

How accurate are the numbers?

Repair costs are region-adjusted ranges anchored to public wage/material data and recent quotes; comps are time-adjusted with the FHFA House Price Index. They're defensible estimates to negotiate with — not an appraisal or a contractor's bid. Every figure shows its source.

What's the difference between the $20 and $99 reports?

The $20 report tells you what to expect from the public record (no inspection needed). The $99 report turns your actual inspection into priced defects, code citations, liability, and a fair-price offer. See pricing for a full comparison.

How long does it take?

Within 24 hours. A human reviews every draft before it's sent.

Is my data safe?

Your PDF is processed by third-party AI services to generate the report; we never sell your data. If your inspection contains personal details you'd rather not share, redact them before uploading. See our Privacy Policy.

What if the report isn't useful?

Email us. We stand behind the work — if something's wrong or unclear, we'll fix it or make it right.

Which areas do you cover?

Anywhere in the US. Coverage is deepest where public records are richest (e.g., Chicago, where we pull the city permit database directly); elsewhere we use national sources.
