What home inspectors make
Median

Job Bank's national median is $38.46 an hour, about $80,000 a year at 40 hours a week, but Job Bank pools home inspectors with all construction inspectors, including municipal building inspectors on salary. Most home inspectors are self-employed and paid per inspection, so their income depends on how many inspections they book and is not measured by this survey. Alberta's 2023 wage survey gives an average of $94,001 a year for the same construction inspector group.
