Common questions about home inspection cost in Miami
Most South Florida inspectors hide pricing behind a quote form. We publish our starting rates up front so you can budget honestly — and so insurance carriers, lenders, and realtors can plan for a closing without a back-and-forth.
Are the prices on this page final quotes?+
No — they're starting rates for a typical home, published so you know the base price before you call. Your final quote depends on total square footage, the age of the home, roof and attic access, and any add-on services. Jorge reviews the property details and confirms one all-in number before you book — and that number doesn't change on inspection day.
How much is a home inspection in Miami?+
A full residential home inspection in Miami starts at $380 for homes under 1,500 sq ft with Modern Building Inspections, with thermal imaging included at no extra cost. That's a starting rate, not a final quote — the price scales with total square footage (see the table above), and Jorge confirms your exact number before you book. We publish starting rates publicly (unusual in this market) so you can budget without a quote-form runaround.
What does a 4-point inspection cost in Florida?+
A 4-point insurance inspection in South Florida starts at $200 with us. Most Florida home insurers — Citizens, Universal, Tower Hill, Florida Peninsula — require a 4-point on any home 20+ years old. If you also need a wind mitigation, the 4-Point + Wind Mitigation Combo starts at $250, with the final price based on the home's square footage.
How much does a wind mitigation inspection cost?+
A stand-alone wind mitigation inspection starts at $200. If you also need a 4-point, the 4-Point + Wind Mitigation Combo starts at $250, with the final price based on the home's square footage. The report typically saves Florida homeowners $300–$2,000+ per year on windstorm premiums.
Are there extra fees for inspections in the Florida Keys?+
Our starting rates include travel within 60 miles (about 1 hour of driving) of our West Kendall office, which covers Miami-Dade, Broward, and the Boca Raton area. A travel fee applies in the Keys and beyond 60 miles, and Jorge quotes it up front before you book.
Is thermal imaging included in a home inspection?+
Yes — thermal imaging is included free in every full residential inspection at Modern Building Inspections. Most competitors charge $100–$150 for this as an add-on. We use a FLIR thermal camera to spot hidden moisture intrusion, missing insulation, electrical hotspots, and HVAC issues that visual inspection alone misses.
