Home Inspection Services
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structure, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Florida Licensed Inspectors identify potential issues while explaining findings in easy-to-understand terms. Reports include detailed recommendations to help buyers, sellers, and homeowners make informed decisions about property maintenance and transactions.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
This specialized inspection assesses hurricane preparedness features like roof construction, window protections, and building code compliance. As FABI members, we follow updated standards to produce insurance-recognized reports that may qualify homeowners for premium discounts while identifying risk reduction opportunities.
New Construction Phase Inspections
We conduct inspections at key construction stages including pre-drywall, final walk, and 11th-month warranty evaluations. Our non-biased assessments verify workmanship quality against Florida building codes, helping identify issues early in the construction timeline to prevent costly future repairs.
4-Point Inspections
This limited-scope evaluation focuses on roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems to meet insurance requirements. Certified inspectors document component conditions and compliance status, providing insurers with accurate risk assessments while helping homeowners maintain coverage eligibility.
Walk & Talk Consultation
A 45-90 minute interactive session where inspectors explain home systems and maintenance needs. While no formal report is generated, clients receive practical advice about property care, potential upgrades, and identifying early warning signs of common home issues.
