What exactly is a home inspection anyway?
A home inspection is a limited visual inspection of the home and its major components. It is conducted objectively and is impartial. Included in the inspection:
-
drainage
-
crawl space
-
electrical
-
air conditioning
-
heating
-
foundation
-
roof
-
plumbing
-
water heaters
-
kitchen
-
baths
-
garage
-
decks
-
pools (overview only)
and much more. The inspection report enables the buyer to make a more informed decision and gives him an idea of the repairs and replacements required.
Our Services
We inspect existing homes, condos, townhomes, and mobile homes; we do not inspect new construction or commercial property at this time.
This covers the major components of the entire house, top to bottom.
The generally is a 4-point inspection of the roof, plumbing, air conditioning/heating, and electrical.
This is normally done yearly for new homeowners and landlords. This inspection looks at upkeep issues such as repainting, roofing, plumbing, trim, etc.
Often required by insurance companies.
This is normally done on homes with wells. It requires 24 hour notice, and samples must be from the first draw of the day (after water has been sitting in pipes).
We can arrange other services such as WDO ("termite"), and environmental testing (mold, radon, lead, etc).
These services will be performed by outside contractors and are priced separately.

Our Report
We use an on-line web-page style report using ReportHost. When the report is ready for viewing, the inspector simply e-mails the client with a clickable link and the client is taken to the report, all on line. The client may then print the report or save it. This system makes it simple to share the report with real estate agents or other parties to the transaction. The report can be accessed from any computer with Internet access. The turn-around time for this report is typically 24 hours.
For those without Internet access, we can provide a narrative style report, complete with photos. Please allow two days for this report.
We even have a report format in Spanish!

We service the counties of Orange, Lake, Polk, Osceola, and Volusia. If you have a special need, call us. We have been known to travel outside our service area to provide service where no one else would.
Scheduling
We work whenever we need to in order to serve our clients. We work seven days a week, as well as evenings and holidays. We offer extended office hours, typically 8am to 8 pm, seven days a week.

Ready to book your inspection?
First, please review our Pre-Inspection Agreement if you are booking a full inspection only.
Second, please ensure that we have full access to the home. All utilities (electric, gas, water) must be turned on in order for us to evaluate the systems. For owners of rental properties, please inform the tenants of the inspection and that it will take 3 to 4 hours to complete, depending on the size of the home.
To make an appointment and/or check availability, you may go to SchedulInspec to book on-line or you may call us directly.
If you are booking on line (recommended), you will receive an e-mail confirming your appointment time and price. When filling out the forms, please remember to indicate the total (gross) square footage of the home, not the living or heated square footage. This will ensure an accurate quote. If you need help in determining the square footage, we will be happy to assist you.
For other services such as insurance inspections, you may wish to call to book your appointment.
