Curious About Your Home Inspection? Start Here

Home inspections in Novi start at $393. Costs vary depending on the size, age, and type of property, as well as any add-on services you choose.

At Handy Home Inspection, our pricing is always transparent and competitive, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Before we begin, we’ll provide a clear quote and walk you through what’s included.

We believe that a great inspection is about more than just cost; it’s about value, trust, and the confidence that comes from knowing your home inside and out.

A Handy Home inspection covers all the major systems and components that affect your home’s safety, function, and long-term value. We take a top-to-bottom approach that includes:

  • Roof and Attic: We walk the roof as long as it’s safe to do so to inspect the shingles, flashing, insulation, and ventilation
  • Foundation and Structure: cracks, moisture, and settling concerns
  • Plumbing System: visible leaks, fixtures, and water pressure
  • Electrical System: panels, outlets, and visible wiring
  • HVAC System: heating, cooling, and ventilation performance
  • Interior and Exterior: walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors
  • Appliances: functionality and safety checks where accessible

If it’s part of your home, we look at it. Our job is to help you understand how everything works together and what to expect next.

Most home inspections take around two to three hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Larger properties or older houses with more unique features may take a bit longer, but we never rush the process.

During the inspection, we’ll walk you through what we’re seeing, explain our findings in everyday language, and encourage you to ask questions along the way.

We know how important it is to get your results quickly, especially when you’re navigating a real estate timeline. That’s why we deliver your digital report within 24 hours of the inspection.

It’s detailed, organized, and packed with photos, clear descriptions, and recommendations. We’re also happy to walk you through the report and answer any questions you may have after you’ve had a chance to review it.

There are plenty of inspectors out there, but not all of them take the time to make sure you actually understand your home. At Handy Home Inspection, we’ve built our reputation on communication, clarity, and care, because a great inspection should leave you confident, not confused.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Clear Communication: We explain our findings in plain, everyday language so you walk away understanding what matters most.
  • Thorough Reports: Every report is packed with high-quality photos, detailed notes, and helpful recommendations; no vague checkboxes or generic summaries.
  • Advanced Roof Inspections: Where other companies stand on a ladder or just glance at the roof from the ground, our inspectors walk the roof line as long as it’s safe to do so.
  • Education-First Approach: We view every inspection as a learning opportunity, providing you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your home.
  • Responsiveness and Professionalism: From your first call to your final report, you’ll always know what to expect and who’s handling your inspection.
  • Real People, Real Care: We treat your home like it’s our own — with respect, attention to detail, and genuine pride in our work.

We’re not here just to hand over a report; we’re here to make the process simple, transparent, and empowering.
