A complete top-to-bottom evaluation of every major system and component — giving you the full picture before you sign.

What We Inspect

Every inspection follows InterNACHI standards and covers all major systems visible and accessible at the time of inspection.

Structural integrity

Foundation, framing, walls, ceilings, floors, and load-bearing components.

Electrical systems

Panel, wiring, outlets, GFCI protection, and visible junction boxes.

Plumbing

Supply lines, drain/waste/vent systems, water heater, and visible fixtures.

HVAC systems

Heating and cooling equipment, ductwork, filters, and thermostat operation.

Roof & attic

Shingles, flashing, gutters, soffit/fascia, attic insulation, and ventilation.

Interior & exterior

Doors, windows, siding, driveways, decks, porches, and garage systems.

Why a thorough inspection matters in Florida

Florida's climate — heat, humidity, hurricanes, and heavy rain — accelerates wear on roofs, HVAC systems, and building envelopes faster than most other states. Hidden moisture intrusion, aging electrical panels, and improper hurricane strapping are common findings that can cost tens of thousands to repair. A comprehensive inspection surfaces these issues before they become your problem.

Common Questions

How long does a comprehensive inspection take?

Most single-family homes take 2.5–4 hours depending on size and age. We never rush — thoroughness is the point.

Do I need to be present?

We strongly encourage it. Walking through the findings in real time helps you understand the property far better than reading a report alone.

When do I receive the report?

Your detailed digital report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection — well within most contract deadlines.

What if issues are found?

Finding issues is the whole point. Our report gives you clear documentation to negotiate repairs, request credits, or make an informed decision.
