Frequently Asked Questions

A home inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of a home's readily accessible systems and components: roofing, structure, exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, interiors, attic, and insulation. You receive a written report with photographs describing what was observed. It does not include concealed areas, environmental testing, termite inspections, or code compliance review.

Pricing depends on the type of inspection, the property's size and age, and its location. We have not published fixed prices yet. Request a quote and we'll give you a clear price before anything is scheduled.

A four-point inspection is a limited inspection of four systems (roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC) completed on a form for your insurance company, usually for older homes. A full home inspection is a much broader visual evaluation of the whole home's accessible systems and components, typically ordered by buyers to understand the property before closing. Many buyers need both.

A wind mitigation inspection documents construction features that help a home resist hurricane winds, such as roof covering, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape, secondary water resistance, and opening protection. The findings are recorded on Florida's uniform mitigation form, which insurers may use when calculating windstorm premiums. The insurer decides whether any discount applies.

If you are buying, schedule as soon as your purchase contract is signed. Inspection periods in Florida contracts are often short, and early scheduling leaves time to review the report and negotiate. For insurance inspections, schedule as soon as your agent or insurer asks for the report.

Most full home inspections of single-family homes take two to four hours on site, depending on size, age, and condition. Four-point and wind mitigation inspections are shorter, often about an hour each. We'll give you an estimate when we confirm your appointment.

Yes, and for full home inspections we encourage it, especially near the end, when we can walk you through what we found. For insurance inspections, someone needs to provide access to the home, attic, and electrical panel, but you don't need to stay for the whole visit.

Reports are delivered electronically, by email. The delivery time depends on the inspection type and will be confirmed when you schedule.

Make sure the electrical panel, water heater, HVAC equipment, attic hatch, and garage are accessible, with stored items moved away. Utilities should be on, and pets secured. For insurance inspections, have roof permits and paperwork for impact windows, doors, or shutters available if you have them.

No. Inspection findings describe conditions observed within the agreed scope at the time of the inspection. An inspection is not a warranty, insurance policy, or guarantee against future defects, and some conditions cannot be detected visually. When a finding warrants it, we recommend evaluation by a licensed specialist.

Usually not. Most four-point and wind mitigation inspections are paid for by the homeowner or buyer. Occasionally an insurer arranges its own inspection; in that case, the insurer's process applies.
