How Much Does a Home Inspection Cost in Montreal in 2025?

Understanding the Real Cost of a Home Inspection

If you’re buying a property in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, or the Laurentians, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is definitely your home inspection. But how much should you budget?

Let’s be honest: online estimates like “$300–$500” are often outdated or misleading. A thorough, professional inspection in Quebec isn’t a flat-rate commodity, it’s a tailored service based on the type, size, age, and complexity of the building.

At Mose Home Inspection, we base our pricing on over 20 years of experience and more than 18,000 completed inspections. Here’s what you need to know.

What Factors Affect the Price of a Home Inspection?

Property Size

  • Condos or Small Apartments: Start around $500, especially if the unit is under 1,000 sq. Ft.
  • Mid-Size Homes (1,200–2,000 sq. ft.): Typically range from $700 to $1,000, depending on age and configuration.
  • Large Homes, Multiplexes, or Luxury Properties: May exceed $1,200 depending on number of units and inspection scope.

Type of Building

  • Detached single-family homes have different needs than condominiums, century homes, or multi-unit residential buildings.

Scope of Services

A standard home inspection typically includes visual evaluations of:

  • Roof, attic, and insulation
  • Foundation, basement, structure
  • Electrical, plumbing, heating & cooling systems
  • Windows, doors, and ventilation

Optional add-ons may include:

  • Main waste drainpipe scope (plumbing)
  • Infrared thermography (seasonal)
  • Indoor air quality & mold testing
  • Radon gas testing

Location & Accessibility

  • Older properties in central Montreal may require more attention than newer builds in the South Shore or North Shore, especially when access to mechanical systems or crawlspaces is limited.

Why Do Prices Vary So Much?

Because not all inspections are created equal.

Some companies offer low entry prices — but they often:

  • Deliver generic checklists instead of real insights
  • Rush inspections to fit in more bookings
  • Use outdated reporting tools
  • Don’t offer post-inspection support

At Mose, we focus on clarity, transparency, and support.

  • We follow the APCHQ Standard of Practice
  • We give you a verbal summary on-site
  • Your full digital report (with photos) is delivered within 2 to 3 days
  • You get lifetime phone support for as long as you own the home
