The Real Cost of a Home Inspection in Calgary & Surrounding Areas — And Why It’s Worth Every Dollar
Buying or selling a home in Calgary & area is a major investment, and a professional home inspection is one of the most important steps you can take to protect it. At Arrow Inspections, we’re often asked: “How much does a home inspection cost — and what am I really paying for?”
Let’s break it down clearly so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
How Much Does a Home Inspection Cost in Calgary?
In Alberta, a standard residential home inspection typically ranges between $400–$600, depending on several factors:
- Size of the home
- Type of Home (apartment, townhome, detached home, etc)
- Additional structures (garages, shops, barns)
- Secondary Suites
While price matters, the quality and depth of the inspection matter more. A cheaper inspection that misses major issues can cost you thousands later.
What’s Included in a Professional Home Inspection?
A comprehensive inspection from Arro Inspections includes a detailed evaluation of:
✔ Roof, attic, and insulation
✔ Foundation, structure, and grading
✔ Electrical systems
✔ Plumbing systems
✔ Heating and cooling systems
✔ Windows, doors, and interior components
✔ Exterior siding, decks, and drainage
You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand report with photos, explanations, and actionable insights — not technical jargon.
Optional Add-On Services (Highly Recommended)
Many Alberta homes — especially rural properties — benefit from additional testing:
- Mold Inspections
- Air Quality Testing
- Well Water Testing
- Septic Inspections
- Radon Testing
- Sewer Scope
These services can uncover hidden issues that aren’t visible during a standard inspection and help you avoid unexpected costs after possession.
Why a Home Inspection Saves You Money
A home inspection isn’t an expense — it’s protection.
A thorough inspection can:
- Identify safety hazards
- Uncover costly repairs before you buy
- Provide negotiation leverage
- Help sellers avoid last-minute deal breakers
- Give peace of mind for one of life’s biggest purchases
Even one discovered issue can save you far more than the cost of the inspection itself.
