Kirkland, WA Home Reinspection: Ash’s Free vs. $75 Visit

Ash Home Inspection’s June 2026 Kirkland, Washington price card lists a free reinspection for up to five items and $75 for an extensive reinspection. Either line may receive a trip charge. The price card also lists $500 for a 1,500–2,000-square-foot home and a $25 mileage charge for every 25 miles outside Kirkland. Read Ash’s pricing.

The useful decision is whether the inspector can verify a short, documented repair list within the five-item line. A list of five discrete items maps to the published $0 reinspection price; an extensive visit starts at $75. That is a $75 difference before any trip charge, not proof that every follow-up with five sentences is free. Ask Ash to classify the list in writing.

Ash line	Published price	Qualification
Reinspection, up to five items	Free	Trip charge may apply
Extensive reinspection	$75	Trip charge may apply
1,500–2,000 sq. ft. original inspection	$500	Age and travel can add
Home 50–74 years old	+$50	Added to the original inspection
Mileage outside Kirkland	$25 per 25 miles	Applies outside standard area

For example, the original inspection worksheet for a 1,700-square-foot, 60-year-old home is $500 + $50 = $550, before distance or other listed services. That calculation is separate from the later reinspection. It would be misleading to apply the $550 total to the follow-up appointment.

Send the inspector the property address, repair photos, item count, and access plan. Ask whether two related defects count as one item or several, whether a contractor’s invoice is enough for verification, and whether the address is outside Ash’s standard Kirkland area. A trip charge can turn the $0 line into a paid visit.

Washington’s home-inspector standards describe contract and inspection-scope obligations, but they do not set Ash’s prices. Read WAC 308-408C alongside the provider card. This is a Kirkland-area provider example, not a statewide Washington reinspection rate.
