Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspection evaluates structural components, electrical systems, and mechanical equipment. Licensed inspectors assess roofs, foundations, plumbing, and HVAC systems to identify safety hazards and maintenance needs. Every inspection includes infrared technology to detect hidden moisture or electrical issues, providing buyers with critical information for informed decisions.
Infrared Inspection
Infrared inspections use thermal imaging to identify temperature anomalies revealing hidden problems. This technology detects moisture intrusion behind walls, electrical overheating, and insulation deficiencies without invasive procedures. Combined with standard inspections, it provides complete visibility into structural and mechanical conditions, helping prevent future damage and repair costs.
WDO Termite Inspection
This specialized inspection identifies wood-destroying organisms like termites and carpenter ants. Inspectors examine structural wood components for active infestations, past damage, and conducive conditions. The report documents findings required by mortgage lenders, including treatment recommendations and prevention strategies to protect property investments.
Wind Mitigation
Wind mitigation inspections assess hurricane-resistant construction features. Evaluators examine roof attachments, impact-resistant openings, and secondary water barriers to determine insurance eligibility. This inspection documents construction details that qualify homeowners for premium discounts through Florida's windstorm insurance programs.
4-Point Inspection
4-point inspections evaluate four critical systems: roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Required by insurance companies for older homes, this assessment identifies safety risks and code compliance issues. The report helps homeowners obtain or renew insurance coverage by documenting the property's structural and mechanical integrity.
