FAQ

In Central Florida, most standalone home inspections fall in the $300–$500 range, depending on the size, age, and construction of the home. Bundling a four point inspection or wind mitigation report with a full inspection usually costs less than ordering them separately.

A thorough inspection of a typical single-family home takes about 2 to 4 hours. Larger homes, older homes, and homes with crawl spaces or multiple HVAC systems take longer. We schedule one house a day, so your inspection is never rushed to make room for the next appointment.

A full inspection is a roof-to-foundation examination of the visible and accessible systems of the home: roof and attic, structure and foundation, electrical service and panel, plumbing supply and drains, heating and air conditioning, windows, doors, and built-in appliances. You get a clear written report documenting the condition of each system with photos of anything that needs attention.

A four point inspection is a short report on the four systems insurance companies care most about: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Florida carriers commonly require one before writing or renewing a homeowners policy on an older home — the age cutoff varies by insurer, but it is often triggered somewhere between 20 and 40 years old. It documents the age and condition of each system in the format your insurer expects.

A wind mitigation inspection documents the features of your home that resist hurricane wind damage: the roof covering, how the roof deck is attached, roof-to-wall connections (clips or straps), the roof shape, secondary water resistance, and opening protection like shutters or impact glass. Florida law (Statute 627.0629) requires insurers to give premium credits for these features. The discounts often add up to hundreds of dollars per year, so the inspection frequently pays for itself in the first year.

Yes — new construction is built by many different crews under deadline pressure, and municipal code inspections do not catch everything. We find issues in new homes regularly, from missing insulation to plumbing that was never connected. An inspection before closing, and again before the builder's one-year warranty expires, gives you the documentation to have the builder fix problems on their dime.

Absolutely — we encourage it. Walking the property with your inspector is the best way to understand what the report says and to ask questions on the spot. If something is wrong, we will sit down and talk through the ways to fix it, for as long as you need.

Promptly — clear, concise, and with photos, delivered so you can meet your contract deadlines. We take the time to walk through every finding with you so you fully understand the results before you make a decision.

Yes. Florida requires home inspectors to be licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) under Chapter 468 of the Florida Statutes, which includes education, examination, and insurance requirements. Always confirm your inspector is licensed — you can verify any Florida license on the DBPR website.

No — in Florida, a wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspection is a separate, specialized inspection that must be performed by a licensed pest control operator under Chapter 482 of the Florida Statutes. If your lender requires a WDO report or you suspect termite activity, we are happy to point you to a qualified local provider so both inspections can happen on the same day.
