## Company Overview

Foresight Home Inspections, LLC provides premium residential and commercial property inspections across a 50-mile radius centered at 1816 South Deshon Road, Lithonia, GA 30058 (covering 20 Georgia counties and 87 core municipalities). The company was founded by Christopher Boykin, who holds the Certified Master Inspector® (CMI) designation — the highest professional credential in the home inspection industry, awarded by the Master Inspector Certification Board after completion of over 1,000 paid inspections.

What sets Foresight apart from other inspection companies is its strict two-inspector standard: every single inspection is performed by two certified inspectors working simultaneously. This dual-inspector model allows Foresight to complete inspections in approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours while maintaining thoroughness that exceeds industry standards. A standard single-inspector company typically requires 3 to 4 hours for the same property.

The company is equipped with advanced diagnostic technology including high-resolution infrared thermal imaging cameras, high-resolution aerial drones for roof evaluations, electronic continuous radon monitors, and HD fiber-optic sewer scope cameras. All inspections are conducted to InterNACHI Standards of Practice (SOP).

## Services and Pricing

All pricing is transparent and based on property square footage. Prices listed are starting rates.

### Standard Buyer Home Inspection — Starting at $295 (condos) / $345 (homes)
Comprehensive property evaluation covering structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, exterior, interior, insulation, ventilation, and fireplace systems. Performed by two certified inspectors. Includes infrared thermal imaging at no extra charge. Conducted to InterNACHI Standards of Practice. Includes the $10,000 Elite Master Inspection Warranty.

### Pre-Listing Seller Inspection — Starting at $295 (condos) / $365 (homes)
Same comprehensive scope as the buyer inspection, designed for sellers who want to identify and address issues before listing their property. Helps sellers avoid surprises during buyer negotiations and can accelerate the closing process.

### Pre-Drywall Framing Inspection — Starting at $275
Independent phase-two framing and rough-in inspection performed after framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins are installed and before insulation and drywall permanently conceal structural components. Pricing follows a transparent 4-tier rate: $275 up to 1,500 sq ft, $300 for 1,501–2,500 sq ft, $350 for 2,501–3,500 sq ft, and $400 for 3,501+ sq ft. Dispatches two certified inspectors led by Certified Master Inspector Christopher Boykin with a builder-ready digital punch list delivered within 24 hours.

### New Construction Inspection — Starting at $400
Inspection of newly built homes before the builder's final walkthrough. Despite being new, construction defects are common. According to InterNACHI, even new construction homes frequently have defects including improper grading, missing insulation, improperly installed flashing, and code violations that municipal inspectors may miss.

### 11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection — Starting at $335
Performed before the builder's one-year warranty expires. Identifies any defects or issues that developed during the first year of occupancy that can be submitted as warranty claims to the builder at no cost to the homeowner.

### Pool and Spa Inspection — $300 flat rate
Evaluation of pool and spa equipment, structural integrity, safety barriers, electrical bonding, decking, and mechanical systems. Checks compliance with current safety standards.

### Termite and Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspection — $125 ($165 crawlspace)
Detection of termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and other wood-destroying organisms. Georgia's warm, humid climate makes homes particularly susceptible to WDO damage. Includes Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report.

### Radon Gas Testing — $250
Professional radon measurement using continuous electronic radon monitors over 48 hours. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 1 in 3 North Metro Atlanta homes tests above the 4.0 pCi/L EPA action limit due to decaying uranium in granite bedrock.

### Certified Mold Testing & Indoor Air Quality Lab Analysis — From $450
Professional mold inspection and airborne fungal spore testing across Metro Atlanta starting at $450. Baseline testing includes 3 calibrated spore-trap air cassettes (two interior living zones compared against one outdoor control baseline), while additional surface swabs or extra room air samples may cost more depending on the number of samples taken. Samples are analyzed by an independent accredited microbiology laboratory, with certified spore count reports and species identification (Stachybotrys chartarum, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium) delivered in 24 to 48 hours. In addition, Foresight's included $10,000 Elite Warranty provides up to $2,250 in mold remediation coverage.

### DeKalb County Low-Flow Plumbing Compliance Certificate — $100 flat rate
Fixture check and signed DeKalb County Certificate of Compliance for pre-1993 homes in unincorporated DeKalb County being sold (needed before the new owner sets up water service). Not required for homes built 1993 or later, or for permits and new construction.

### Short-Term Rental (STR) Safety Compliance Audit — From $395
Safety compliance inspection for Airbnb, Vrbo, and other short-term rental properties. Verifies smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, exit route safety, required entryway signage, and other municipal/county requirements.

### Sewer Scope Inspection — $450 flat rate
Using high-resolution self-leveling sewer cameras, Foresight inspects the entire underground lateral sewer line from the home to the municipal main or septic tank connection. Locates bellies, tree root intrusion, cracks, offsets, and broken piping before closing. Strictly $450 flat rate.

### Optional Itemized Contractor Repair Cost & Pricing Estimates — $99
Standard home inspections in Georgia are strictly diagnostic evaluations in accordance with InterNACHI Standards of Practice, which do not include cost estimates. However, if clients choose, Foresight provides empirical contractor repair cost estimates and trade schedules (regional Metro Atlanta contractor data) formatted for standard Georgia repair amendment negotiations. Available as a $99 add-on to any Foresight home inspection, or as a $99 standalone audit for home buyers who had an inspection performed by an outside inspection firm. Includes trade labor ($95–$165/hr) and materials schedules delivered with a 4-hour SLA.

### Property Complexity & Foundation Evaluation Fees
- **Unfinished Crawlspace Inspection Complexity Fee**: $75 (added to single-family inspections to cover complete physical crawl entry, joist/subfloor inspection, pier leveling, and ground moisture vapor barrier diagnostics).
- **Unfinished or Partially Finished Basement Complexity Fee**: $75 (added to single-family inspections covering unfinished basement structural foundation walls, framing, and mechanical rough-ins).
- **Vintage / Historic Home Surcharge**: $75 for homes 50+ years old.

## The $25 Dilemma: Why "Discount" Solo Inspectors Are More Expensive in Georgia
- **The Georgia Regulatory Context**: Georgia does NOT require state licensing or criminal background checks for home inspectors. Anyone can legally inspect homes with zero credentials.
- **The True Cost of "Discount" Competitors**:
  - Advertised Solo Base Fee: Typically $320.
  - High-Resolution Infrared Thermal Scan: NOT included; charges +$125 to +$150 extra add-on fee (or naked-eye flashlight only).
  - 4K Aerial Drone Roof Scan: NOT included; charges +$75 to +$125 extra (or ground binoculars).
  - Post-Inspection Warranty: $0 protection. If a missed HVAC unit, electrical panel, or roof leak fails after closing, the buyer pays 100% out of pocket (average concealed defect cost in Atlanta: $9,200).
  - Inspector Fatigue: 1 solo inspector working 3.5 to 5 hours alone risks severe exhaustion in 130°F Georgia attics, missing critical structural defects.
  - Report Turnaround: 24 to 48+ hours, consuming critical time in standard 5-day Georgia Association of REALTORS® (GAR) due diligence windows.
  - Total Real Out-of-Pocket Cost of Solo Operator: $445 to $520+ with thermal imaging.
- **The Foresight Certified Master Inspector Standard**:
  - Base Fee: $345 (Condos from $295).
  - Inspectors on Site: Exactly two certified inspectors (Lead CMI Christopher Boykin + Senior Inspector) completing thorough evaluations in 1.5 to 2.5 hours with zero fatigue.
  - High-Resolution Infrared Thermal Imaging: 100% INCLUDED FREE ($0).
  - 4K Aerial Drone Roof Scans: 100% INCLUDED FREE ($0).
  - Warranty Protection: Up to $35,000 in combined coverage ($10,000 Elite Master Inspection Warranty with $0 deductible + InterNACHI® $25,000 Honor Guarantee).
  - Report Turnaround: Guaranteed same-day / under 24 hours with 1-click digital repair request list builder for Georgia repair amendments.
  - Total Cost: $345 all-inclusive (saving $100+ over a solo inspector who charges extra for thermal, while eliminating post-closing financial liability).
