Detached structure inspections are available as an add-on to your residential or commercial property inspection, starting at $125. Pricing may vary based on the size, foundation type, complexity, and features of the structure.
A detached structure is a separate building that is not physically attached to the main home or building. Examples may include:
- Detached garages
- Workshops
- Storage buildings and larger sheds
- Barns or similar outbuildings
- Pool houses without full living facilities
- Other detached accessory structures
Why Add a Detached Structure Inspection?
We highly recommend adding an inspection when a detached structure has electricity, plumbing, HVAC, gas, or other utilities. These buildings can contain many of the same components and potential concerns found in the primary property.
Depending on the structure, our inspector may evaluate accessible components such as the roof, exterior, foundation, structure, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC, doors, windows, interior, attic, and other installed systems and components.
Guest Houses & Mother-in-Law Suites
A detached guest house, mother-in-law suite, ADU, or other structure designed as a separate living space—particularly one containing a kitchen, bathroom, and multiple residential systems—is not considered a standard detached structure add-on.
These structures require a more comprehensive inspection and will be priced accordingly based on square footage, foundation type, age, and the systems present.
