Build a website for a home inspection company serving three counties. List services from a collection — buyer’s, pre-listing, new construction phases and 11-month warranty inspections — plus add-ons such as radon, sewer scope and termite, each with its scope, starting fee and a sample report to download. The booking request asks for the address, square footage, year built, add-ons, the buyer’s agent and the contingency deadline, then shows an estimate: the base fee covers 2,000 square feet, each extra 500 adds a fee and homes built before 1950 add another. Add buyer guides by stage and a client area for report downloads.

Overview

Who this home inspector website is for

Most buyers find a home inspector on their agent’s short list, then check each website while the inspection period in their contract counts down. They want to know what the inspection covers, whether you also test for radon or scope the sewer line, what a 1940s house with a basement will cost and what your report looks like. A home inspector website built with Netiva answers all four. Services, sample reports and buyer guides live in collections you edit, and the booking form collects the property details you need to quote the job and fit it in before the deadline.

Key features

What your home inspector website can do

  • Services with a clear scope

    Each inspection type is a collection record bound to its own page, so buyers see what gets inspected, what doesn’t, how long you’ll be on site and what it starts at.

    • Main inspections and add-ons listed separately, each with a starting fee
    • Scope written to the standards of practice you follow
    • Foundation, pre-drywall and final phases on pages of their own
    • Related buyer guides listed under each service

  • Sample reports and buyer guides

    Buyers want to see the report before they pay for one. Attach a redacted sample to every service and publish guides that take a buyer from booking to reading the summary page.

    • A sample report download on each service page
    • Guides grouped by stage: before booking, inspection day and after the report
    • Guide drafts and Spanish versions from the collection assistant, reviewed before publishing
    • A guides page filtered by stage

  • Booking requests with a fee estimate

    The request form asks for what changes the job — size, age, add-ons and the contingency deadline — and shows an estimate before the client sends it. You confirm the time from your phone.

    • Fee bands by square footage, plus age and add-on fees you set
    • The buyer’s agent recorded with each request
    • An office queue sorted by contingency deadline
    • Confirm a time or propose another between inspections

  • Confirmations and report pickup

    Clients get an email when you confirm, a reminder the day before and a note when the report is ready to download from their own account.

    • Day-before reminder with the address, start time and when to arrive
    • A closed-house reminder for radon tests, to pass on to the seller
    • Clients sign in to see their booking and download the report
    • The agent copied only when the client agrees

    Your team
How it works

From prompt to a live home inspector website

  1. Describe your inspection business

    Tell Netiva which inspections and add-ons you offer, the counties you cover and how your fee changes with size and age. The agent drafts the collections, service pages and booking form.

  2. Load services, samples and guides

    Paste the scope for each service, upload a redacted sample report and ask the collection assistant to draft buyer guides from your own checklists, then edit them in your voice.

  3. Book a test inspection

    In the live preview, request a 2,600-square-foot 1940s house with radon and a sewer scope. Check the estimate and the emails, then annotate anything that’s off.

  4. Publish and share it with agents

    Publish in one click, connect your own domain from the Starter plan and put the booking link in your email signature. Every change is checkpointed, so a fee edit that went wrong is easy to roll back.

Hosting and domain Global hosting and automatic SSL; connect a custom domain from the Starter plan Buy hosting, then install and renew SSL certificates yourself
Code ownership Clean production code you own and can export Locked into a template, plugin or agency setup
Examples

Ways teams use it

  • A solo inspector covering three counties

    Between jobs, the owner confirms requests from a phone. Agents send buyers straight to the booking page, and the office queue puts the tightest contingency deadlines at the top.

  • A new construction specialist

    Foundation, pre-drywall, final and 11-month warranty inspections each get a page. Guides explain when to book each phase and why the warranty inspection belongs before the builder’s first year ends.

  • A Florida inspector adding insurance inspections

    Wind mitigation and four-point inspections sit beside buyer services for homeowners renewing a policy. The wind mitigation page explains Florida’s uniform verification form, which licensed home inspectors can sign after hurricane mitigation training.

Good to know

Before you build

  • Your report software stays

    Netiva builds the website, not the inspection report. Keep writing reports in the software you use today and upload the finished PDF to the booking. If that software offers an API, you can ask the agent to pull report links instead.

  • Describe the scope carefully

    Many states license home inspectors and set standards of practice. A general inspection is a visual examination and usually leaves out radon, lead-based paint, mold and termites, so say that on each service page and show your license number where your state requires it.

  • Referral and consent rules

    Texas, for example, bars inspectors from paying or accepting referral fees with other settlement service providers and from sharing results or client information without the client’s approval. Keep your agent page informational and copy agents only when the client says yes.

  • Add-ons and sample reports

    Radon measurement and wood-destroying insect inspections need their own license or certification in some states, so list an add-on only where you hold it. Remove names, addresses and identifying photos from every sample report before you upload it.

FAQ

Questions about building a home inspector website

Can buyers download a sample home inspection report from my website?

Yes. Each inspection type has a file field for a sample report, and its service page shows the download beside the scope. Use a real past report with the client’s name, the address and any photos that identify the house removed. A separate sample for each add-on, such as a sewer scope, shows buyers what the extra fee gets them.

Can the booking form estimate a fee from square footage and the home’s age?

Yes, once you describe your rule to the agent. For example: the starting fee covers up to 2,000 square feet, each additional 500 square feet adds a set amount, homes built before 1950 add another and each add-on has its own fee. The form shows the total as an estimate, and your office confirms the final fee along with the time.

Can a buyer’s agent request an inspection on behalf of a client?

Yes. The request form can ask who is filling it in, so an agent can enter the client’s name and email along with their own details. The client gets the account and the report, and the agent is copied on emails only if the client agrees. Some states restrict sharing results without the client’s approval, so keep that choice on the form.

How do clients get their inspection report from the site?

When the report is finished in your report software, upload the PDF to that inspection on the office screen. The app marks it Report delivered and emails the client, who signs in to download it. Each client sees only their own inspections. If you’d rather send your software’s online report, ask the agent for a report link field instead.

Can I publish buyer guides in both English and Spanish?

Yes. Write guides in the collection yourself or ask the collection assistant to draft them from your notes — what to expect on inspection day, how to read the summary or what EPA’s 4 pCi/L radon action level means. It can also translate many guides at once. Review every draft for accuracy before publishing, since the guides speak for your business.

Which Netiva plan does a home inspector website need?

You can build and test the whole site on the free plan, with no credit card, using the live preview. Publishing on your own domain needs the Starter plan or higher, and the higher plans add capacity and features. Check Netiva’s pricing page for the current plans before you put the web address on your truck and business cards.
