A standard home inspection will typically take two to four hours to ensure a detailed assessment.
Meanwhile, four-point and wind mitigation inspections take about 30 minutes to an hour to complete.
Like the cost of your home inspections, however, more square footage will lead to a longer inspection. If your inspector took less time, they wouldn’t be able to catch subtle issues.
Remember, the goal is to save you the pain of having to deal with major home issues in the future by catching them when they’re small.
Pro Tip: Be present with your home inspector as they conduct the inspection to ask them any questions you may have and ensure they sufficiently check the areas of scrutiny.

There are several types of home inspections to consider depending on what you or a previous inspector determines your home needs.
Standard Home Inspections
If you’re buying or selling your home, you will likely end the process with this thorough type of home inspection.
In a standard home inspection, a “generalist” inspector will cover the exterior and interior of the house. The inspector will check for any issues non-invasively, looking for visual signs of problems instead of using tools to check inside walls or appliances.
During the exterior inspection, the inspector will check the roof, grading and water drainage, garage, walls, and foundation. The interior inspection includes the electrical systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), plumbing, fire safety, water-related bathroom hazards, water heater, and major appliances.
Four-Point Home Inspections
A four-point inspection is useful and sometimes required by your home insurance provider if you have a home older than 20 years old. These inspections cover four areas: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing systems. The areas covered by a four-point inspection are usually included in a standard home inspection.
Wind Mitigation Inspections
A wind mitigation inspection is especially necessary in Florida due to hurricanes. These inspections assess how prepared your roof, doors, windows, walls, and landscaping are against high winds and flooding.
Wind mitigation inspections are separate from a standard home inspection. While OpenHouse doesn’t require wind mitigation inspections, conducting one ensures you receive the proper credits for the features of your home you inspect.
Special Home Inspections
If your general home inspector doesn’t cover something or suspects an issue that requires specialty knowledge, they might recommend a special home inspection.
There are many types of special home inspections, including:
