Residential Home Inspections
A residential home inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of a home’s major systems and accessible components. It provides buyers, sellers, and homeowners with a clear understanding of the property’s condition at the time of the inspection.
During your inspection, a licensed home inspector looks for visible defects, safety concerns, and maintenance issues while evaluating the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, exterior, and more. You’ll receive a detailed digital report with photos and recommendations, giving you the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions before moving forward.
Roofing
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, protecting everything underneath it. During the inspection we evaluate readily accessible roofing materials, flashing, penetrations, drainage, and visible signs of wear or damage to help you better understand the roof’s current condition and maintenance needs.
Electrical
A safe electrical system is essential to every home. We inspect readily accessible electrical panels, breakers, wiring, outlets, switches, and visible electrical components for conditions that may impact safety, performance, or indicate the need for repairs or further evaluation.
HVAC
Your heating and cooling system has a major impact on comfort and efficiency. We inspect readily accessible HVAC equipment, operate the system using normal controls, and evaluate visible components to help you understand how the system was performing at the time of the inspection.
Plumbing
Reliable plumbing helps protect your home from costly water damage. We evaluate readily accessible water supply lines, drain and vent systems, fixtures, faucets, and the water heater to identify visible leaks, functional concerns, and conditions that may require repair or maintenance.
Exterior
Your home’s exterior is its first line of defense against Florida’s weather. We inspect readily accessible siding, windows, doors, grading, walkways, driveways, and other visible exterior components to identify conditions that may allow moisture intrusion, affect performance, or contribute to future maintenance concerns.
Foundation/Crawl Space
A strong foundation supports the entire home. We evaluate the visible foundation and readily accessible crawl spaces for signs of settlement, moisture intrusion, structural concerns, ventilation issues, and other observable conditions that could impact the home’s stability and long-term performance.
Attics/Insulation
The attic often reveals valuable clues about a home’s overall condition. When safely accessible, we examine the attic structure, roof sheathing, insulation, ventilation, and other visible components for signs of moisture, damage, inadequate insulation, or conditions that may affect comfort and energy efficiency.
Interior
Beyond what you see at first glance, the interior can reveal important details about a home’s condition. We evaluate readily accessible walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, stairs, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and appliances to provide a clearer picture of the home’s overall condition.
