Ways to lower your Seattle price
- Bundle radon, sewer scope and termite with the base inspection for a package rate.

- Collect three written bids on an identical scope — spreads of 20–40% are normal.
- Book in the off-season and stay flexible on the start date to save 5–15%.

- Ask what the contractor would change to cut 10% without hurting durability.
