Metro Detroit hiring guide

How to compare home inspectors in Metro Detroit

A home inspection is a snapshot of a house's condition at one point in time, and the quality of the report decides how useful it is in negotiations. Use this page to pick the inspection you need, request quotes from local inspectors and add the tests older Metro Detroit homes often call for. If the report points to repairs, compare roofers, foundation pros or plumbers next.

Pick the right inspection

Buyers start with a buyer home inspection and often add a radon test and a sewer scope. Sellers use a pre-listing inspection. Landlords in Detroit prepare for the rental Certificate of Compliance. New build owners book phase and 11 month warranty inspections.

Michigan credentials and rules

Michigan does not currently issue a state home inspector license, so look for membership in a national association with a published standard of practice, plus insurance. EGLE says radon testers are not licensed in Michigan and recommends NRPP or NRSB certification. Termite inspections fall under MDARD pesticide category 7B. Michigan's Seller Disclosure Act requires most residential sellers to give buyers a written disclosure statement.

What to compare

Ask for a sample report, the list of exclusions, add-on options, report turnaround and the liability terms in the agreement. An independent inspector should not be selling the repairs they recommend. Check verification status as described in How We Vet.

Working across Metro Detroit

Inspectors serve all six counties, but rules such as rental inspections come from the legal municipality, which is not always the city on your mailing address. In Detroit, BSEED issues the rental Certificate of Compliance, and many suburbs run their own rental programs. Older housing stock here often means clay sewer laterals, older wiring, boilers and basement moisture. Browse by city or county, such as Wayne, Oakland or Macomb.

Common questions

Home Inspectors in Detroit: FAQ

No. Michigan does not currently issue a state license for home inspectors. Look for membership in a national association with a standard of practice, insurance and a clear written agreement.
Price depends on the home's size and age, the foundation type, the number of units and add-ons such as radon testing, a sewer scope or a termite inspection. Ask for a written quote that lists the scope.
Compare two or three local inspectors, read their sample reports, confirm insurance and turnaround time, and choose the report you would be comfortable negotiating from.
EGLE expects about one in four Michigan homes to exceed the federal radon action level, and testing is the only way to know. Many buyers add a radon test to the home inspection.
Detroit rentals must be registered and pass a property condition inspection before BSEED issues a Certificate of Compliance. One and two unit rentals use an approved third-party inspection company, and larger buildings are inspected by BSEED. Confirm current steps with BSEED.
No. A standard inspection does not look inside the sewer lateral. A sewer scope uses a camera to check for roots, cracks and sags.
