Thermal imaging and a moisture meter reading will be conducted as necessary to pinpoint specific defects, if present. This will be performed at no extra cost.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Sell your home without having to move away from the price that you have in mind for a successful sale by having the property professionally inspected ahead of time. We’ll comprehensively assess the home’s condition before you make the listing, handing over a full report of our findings that will detail existing defects. Having this knowledge at hand will give you a chance to consider making improvements that will help to prevent lower bids and stalled negotiations.
New Construction Inspection
For new home construction, we can perform this inspection service at a time before the builders perform their final walkthrough. We’ll be looking for defects in the materials used, faulty systems, and oversights made over the course of construction—providing our completely unbiased evaluation so that you can invest more confidently.
New Construction Phase Inspections
At multiple stages of new home construction, we can come to the build site to inspect current progress. This helps to protect the home-buyer, allowing us to identify existing issues while they are still easily correctable, and before they’re out of sight and out of mind. The inspection service can be performed at any stage of construction, and as many times as you’d like.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
When you buy a home, it will usually be protected by the builder’s warranty for at least a year. But before that year is up, you need to schedule a warranty inspection so that you’re aware of existing repair and maintenance issues while the builder’s protection is still in place. If we discover issues during this comprehensive inspection of the home, you’ll be able to see if associated repair costs will be covered by the builder.
4 Point Inspection
Insurance agencies will often require this inspection service to determine whether or not a prospective buyer’s future home meets minimum property standards. We’ll inspect the four most common areas of the home that are included in these standards—the roofing system, HVAC system, electrical system, and plumbing system.
Re-inspections
We can inspect certain areas of a home one more time after the seller has finished contracting out repair work for components that we discovered to be defective. Once the work has been fully completed, we’ll inspect it to make sure that the original issue is no longer present and that the repairs didn’t compromise the condition of any other components.
Wind Mitigation
High winds kick up often on the Florida coast, and when storms are blowing in, you need to be 100% certain that your home is adequately protected. Schedule this inspection service to determine if the home’s current wind mitigation is effective enough to warrant going through with a pending investment without seeking out improvements.
Serving All of the Greater Tampa Bay Area
We serve the entire Tampa Bay area, including Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, Citrus, and Manatee counties. Our inspector is also able to go out of these counties for an additional fee.
