Buyers Inspection

In both new and older homes, the best way to ensure that you are well informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have us give you a professional home inspection. We are trained to identify problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked by the previous owners and to identify which require immediate attention.

Sellers Inspection

Whether you are selling your home on your own or using a realtor, it’s always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. Knowledge is power. All homes have strengths and weaknesses: we help you answer how serious the problems are and which must be immediately addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. See our Inspection Overview for more details.

Re–inspections

We’ll come back and make sure everything that was supposed to get done was completed correctly.

Construction Inspection

In a new home, the quality of construction is often not what it used to be some years ago, therefore many buyers have independent reviews of their properties during various stages of the construction process, including slab, frame, and final inspection. This relatively inexpensive inspection protects your purchase, prevents unpleasant surprises, and ensures the quality home that you’ve dreamed about.

Warranty Inspection

Most builders provide a one–year warranty for new construction. Generally during this period of time the buyer develops a “punch list” of corrections for the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is prudent to obtain our home inspectors list of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder at no cost to you. You will be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a great deal down the road.

Mold Inspections

There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture. Molds can produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances.

Windstorm Mitigation Inspections

Be ready for the next hurricane by having one of our certified inspectors conduct a comprehensive review of your structure to determine areas of potential weakness that could cause expensive damage in the next storm. Florida Law now requires Insurances companies to offer substantial discounts for certain construction features and materials like window and door opening protection as well as roof type and installation method to name a few. Most insurance companies will require this type of inspection before a new policy can be written. Stay one step ahead and potentially save you some money by having a windstorm mitigation inspection completed today.

Maintenance Inspection

This is the most comprehensive and thorough inspection we offer. Our inspector will walk the entire roof inspecting the roofing system including flashings, penetrations, chimneys, gutters, lighting protection systems and any component of your roof. Then he will walk the entire perimeter of your home multiple times, first inspecting the fascia & soffit, the body of the house, the windows and doors and any exterior mechanical equipment. Our inspector will proceed to the interior of the home opening every window and door to check for wood rot, leaks and proper operation. Every room will be inspected from ceiling to floor. An inspection of your home's electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems will be performed. The field inspection will take between one–half and one full day to complete. Following the inspection, our inspector will evaluate the findings and produce a report to demonstrate any defects or deficiencies and our recommendations for correction. Performing this inspection annually or every two years will allow our team to identify and correct problems before they lead to major repairs.
