Why Hire a Home Inspector?
Some home owners don't maintain their properties as they should, leaving critical defects unattended. Some defects are obvious; others are not. Get pricing>
- Our home inspectors have years of experience, thoroughly surveying used homes and providing comprehensive reports detailing the strengths and weaknesses of real estate properties.
- Our reports have saved clients from making costly mistakes by bringing to light critical problems they couldn't see.
- We've kept clients from passing up good properties by putting defects into perspective -- showing them how a problem that looks bad really has a simple solution.
What Do We Look For?
Our inspectors scrutinize the entire interior and the exterior, paying special attention to the following:
- Foundation and Structure
- Roof System and Attic
- Electrical System
- Plumbing
- Air Conditioning and Duct Work
- Grading and Drainage
- Major Appliances
- We'll coordinate a Terminte/ WDO inspection upon request.
Infrared Detection.
Traditionally, inspectors can only report on defects they can see, leaving out what is happening behind the walls. With infrared camera technology, we can see where we couldn't before, detecting moisture, missing insulation, and electrical hot spots. This additional service is available upon request. Get pricing>
Why are ASHI and FABI Accredidations Important?
In Florida, home inspectors are not regulated. Although we have an occupational license, there are no state or federal regulations requiring specific licensing as is the case for construction contractors or realestate brokers. In the absence of government regulation, organizations such as ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) and FABI (Florida Association of Building Inspectors) require members to pass comprehensive examinations, participate in continuing education, and adhere to a strict code of ethics.
