Home inspections can help you buy or sell your
home with confidence. As trained professionals we have has seen it all, and we'll provide invaluable help in turning you

repairs. Sellers can understand conditions the buyer’s inspector may point out and put the property in better selling
condition by making repairs. Our inspection services include:
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. See our Inspection Overview for more details. 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. 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. Insurance Inspection After Hurricane Andrew, insurance companies in Florida have been trying to encourage home owners to make their homes safer and reduce claims. Many insurance companies and JUA (Joint Underwriting Association) now request Four Point Inspections, which often include, but not limited to: Roof Inspection, Electrical Inspection, HVAC (Heat, Ventilation & Air Conditioning), and Plumbing. Such inspections ensure that most systems in the four points have been updated to current standards and are in good condition. Septic System Inspection Malfunctioning septic systems not only can lead to costly repairs; they can contaminate surface and ground waters, cause various health problems, and spread disease as well as create unsightly messes and foul odors when raw sewage surfaces or backs up into the home. A thorough inspection of the septic system can ensure that any potential issues are addressed. Pool & Spa Inspection If the property you own or are purchasing has a pool or spa on the premises, a professional pool/spa inspection is a good choice to learn more about the condition of the pool/spa and to protect your investment. The pool and spa inspection will include an analysis of the exterior of the pool, the pool shell/coping, pool equipment including the heater, pump, filter, and electrical components. You will receive a separate Pool/Spa Inspection Report, detailing the findings of the pool/spa inspection that will help you better understand the condition of the pool/spa and proceed with confidence. Seawall Inspection The movement of tides can erode seawalls. Seawalls need periodic inspection and maintenance or they will fall apart. Be sure to have it checked it out by a professional before you close the sale on a waterfront property, or to ensure your existing property is adequately protected.
