Buyer’s Inspection
This inspection service is exactly what you need to help you protect your interests when working toward the purchase of a home. We’ll comprehensively evaluate a property’s visible and readily accessible areas, providing a simple and straightforward report of our findings within 24 hours.
We inspect these areas of a home:
- Roofing System
- Foundation & Crawl Spaces
- Garage
- Exterior (doors, windows, cladding)
- Interior (doors, windows, floors, walls, ceilings, stairs)
- Attic, Insulation, & Ventilation
- Plumbing System
- Electrical System
- Heating & Air Conditioning Systems
- Built-in Kitchen Appliances
- Pools (equipment & safety)
- Water Wells
A moisture meter will be used at no extra charge when necessary to assist with the identification of plumbing leaks or other sources of moisture penetration inside the home.
Pre-Listing Inspection
This inspection service is for customers who are preparing to sell a home but haven’t yet made a listing. We’ll meticulously investigate the structure of the home, including any installed systems, to determine if there are deficiencies that could affect a successful sale. Scheduling repairs before you show a home can help to ensure that offers on the property fall within the expected range—and informing buyers of existing issues can prevent delays during time-sensitive negotiations.
New Construction Inspection
Shortly after the structure of a home is built, the builder will conduct a final walkthrough of the property. This inspection service should be scheduled before that occurs. We’ll carefully assess the condition of the home’s structural components and installed mechanical systems, identifying potential defects that could affect structural integrity or the home’s overall safety. Discovering issues at this critical time will allow you to arrange for repairs while it’s still convenient to do so.
4 Point Inspection
Insurers are incredibly reluctant to offer a policy if there isn’t credible documentation proving that a home is in good condition—in fact, many insurers require a 4 Point Inspection. This partial evaluation of a home involves four primary areas—the roofing system, plumbing system, electrical system, and HVAC system.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
It’s not a good idea to close on a Tampa Bay home without first ensuring that the property can withstand the strong storms that often sweep across the state. This inspection service will identify the wind mitigation features that are currently in place, checking to see if the features are in good condition and whether or not more wind mitigation is needed. Buying a home that is properly protected from wind damage will also qualify you for several insurance credits.
