1. Quality of repairs If repairs are made to a property based on the results of an inspection, the work should be performed by qualified contractors, not the seller. By qualified, we mean licensed, bonded, state-certified where applicable and with a reasonable amount of experience. Contractors providing repairs should provide legible documentation in the form of work orders and/or receipts. If repairs are made in this way, then there's generally no need for a follow-up inspection. Additionally, it may be better to negotiate a lower price on your home and have repairs made by contractors you choose rather than the seller making repairs as cheaply as possible.

2. Pest inspections required for some follow-up inspections
On occasion, some follow-up inspections may require a complete, new structural pest inspection. Examples include:

• Evaluating a crawl space after carpenter ant infestation was found
• Evaluating numerous items throughout a structure after a significant amount of time has passed (original inspection in winter, follow-up in summer)

		Additional charges usually apply for travel outside of Kitsap County.   Follow-up inspection $150 Follow-up inspection with a structural pest* inspection         $250 *Structural pest inspections are wood destroying organism(WDO)/wood destroying insect(WDI) inspections conforming with requirements from the Washington State Department of Agriculture.
