What an inspector watches for in Tempe
A lot of Tempe stock is mid-century and has been through several owners and several remodels. Undocumented work is the recurring theme: added circuits, reworked plumbing, enclosed patios. Those get looked at closely.

Common questions
Booking an inspection in Tempe
Do you inspect homes in Tempe?
Yes — Tempe is part of the AZ Home Inspection Services area. Residential inspections start at $285, and every inspection is performed by Bob Clardy, ASHI Certified Inspector #268522.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most residential inspections take a few hours on site, and the length scales with the size, age and complexity of the property. A larger custom home with multiple HVAC systems, a pool and long roof runs takes considerably longer than a small production build. You are welcome to walk along for all of it — Bob will teach you as much as you want to learn.
How much does a home inspection cost in Arizona?
AZHI residential inspections start at $285. The final price depends on the size and age of the property and any add-on services such as mold testing, indoor air quality testing, a termite report or a pool and spa inspection. Call 480-805-2025 with the square footage, approximate age and location and you'll get a firm number.
What does a home inspection include?
AZHI inspects and reports on six major areas: structural systems, roofing, electrical systems, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, and built-in appliances. Every inspection follows the Standards of Practice established by the American Society of Home Inspectors.
When do I get the report?
Before Bob leaves. Reports are finished on-site and delivered as a visual HTML and PDF document with photographs against every finding. You also get an email with a link to the report, and an inspection review over Zoom if you want one.
