Buyer’s Inspection
The full 400-point exam: roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, grading, and every door, window, and outlet we can reach.
Every Foursquare inspection covers 400+ points from roof to crawlspace, and your full photo report lands in your inbox the same day — explained to you in person, in plain English.
The full 400-point exam: roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, grading, and every door, window, and outlet we can reach.
Every inspection includes a drone roof survey and infrared scan — moisture intrusion, missing insulation, and overheating circuits show up in color.
A 48-hour continuous monitor placed at inspection, with lab-grade results before your contingency window closes. Central Virginia sits in a moderate-risk zone — worth knowing.
The wood-destroying-insect letter most Virginia lenders want, plus crawlspace moisture readings — done in the same visit, one trip fee saved.
Pre-drywall and pre-closing checks on new builds, and the 11-month inspection that catches defects while the builder’s warranty still pays for them.
Photos, severity ratings, and a repair-request summary your agent can drop straight into negotiations — delivered before dinner, viewable on any phone.
Pick a slot that fits your contingency window — most inspections scheduled within 48 hours, Saturdays included.
Two to three hours on site, 400+ points, drone and thermal included. Show up for the last 30 minutes and we’ll walk the big stuff together.
Before we leave the driveway you’ll know the three things that matter, the ten that can wait, and the difference between the two.
The full photo report with severity ratings hits your inbox that evening — with a repair-request builder your agent will love.
Foursquare was started in 2015 by a former framing contractor who got tired of watching buyers discover in February what someone should have told them in October. We don’t get referral-fee cozy with anyone whose commission depends on the sale closing — our only customer is the person paying for the truth.
Pricing is published right on this page: $375 for homes under 1,500 sq ft, $450 up to 2,500, $575 up to 4,000 — larger or older homes quoted up front. You can read a full sample report before you book, so you know exactly what your money buys.
“The thermal camera found a hidden roof leak the seller genuinely didn’t know about. That photo got us a new roof in negotiations — the inspection paid for itself 40 times over.”
“He spent 25 minutes walking me through the report in the driveway, in actual human words. I went from terrified to informed in one afternoon.”
“Our 11-month warranty inspection found 14 items the builder had to fix for free — including flashing that would have leaked by spring. Best $450 we spent on the house.”
Published and by square footage: $375 under 1,500 sq ft, $450 up to 2,500, $575 up to 4,000. Radon adds $150, termite/WDI adds $75. Homes over 4,000 sq ft, historic homes, and multi-family are quoted before you book — never after.
Come for the last 30 minutes if you can. The report stands on its own, but standing in front of the actual water heater while we explain it beats any PDF. If you can’t make it, we’ll do the walk-through by video call.
We inspect what’s visible and accessible — we don’t open walls, move the seller’s furniture, or dismantle equipment, and we can’t see inside sewer lines (we can refer a scope). The report states exactly what was inaccessible and why, so nothing hides in fine print.
Almost never — and that’s not its job. Every house has findings; the report sorts them into safety items, budget items, and cosmetic noise so you can negotiate the first, plan for the second, and ignore the third. Our job is a clear picture, not a verdict.
Same-day reports — most land within 4 hours of the inspection, and the full photo report is in your inbox that evening. Tight contingency window? Tell us and we’ll prioritize the summary.
