Pricing for the inspection trade

ProSpark

Know the cost of one inspection.Price from solid ground.

A practical pricing education system for home inspectors who are done copying competitors and hoping add-ons carry the month.

Built by Josh Baugus, an Army veteran and operating owner of Open Window Home Inspection in North Carolina.

Why most pricing tools fail

Every other calculator gives you half the math.

One category prices the property without asking what delivery costs. The other calculates inspector cost without turning it into a defensible price.

ProSpark connects delivery cost, business cost, and required profit into one floor.

Built for how inspectors actually get paid

Commission or hourly, Gross or QCF, and employer payroll burden included.

Profit is an input, not a leftover

The calculator requires what the business needs to earn. Break-even is not a floor.

A floor, not a suggestion

The output is a line not to cross, not a comparison to the cheapest inspector.

The method

Fewer guesses. Better decisions.

ProSpark turns the messy middle of an inspection business into a pricing habit you can repeat, explain, and stand behind.

01

Count the real cost of showing up.

Put time, overhead, mileage, and the work behind the report on the same page.

02

Find your True Cost Per Inspection.

Turn a busy month of receipts and guesses into one floor you can explain.

03

Price the work from solid ground.

Use that trusted number to make clearer calls on core inspections and add-ons.
