Inspection Agreement & Scope

Every inspection is performed under a written agreement that explains exactly what is and isn't included. Here is an overview so there are no surprises.

The written inspection agreement

Before any inspection begins, you will receive a written pre-inspection agreement to review and sign. It describes the inspection type, the scope, the fee, how the report is delivered, and the limitations of the inspection. The signed agreement, not this web page, governs the inspection.

Owner to provide: the final inspection agreement, reviewed by a Florida attorney. A downloadable sample copy can be linked here once approved.

Standards we follow

Home inspections in Florida are regulated by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation under Part XV of Chapter 468, Florida Statutes, and the standards of practice adopted in Florida Administrative Code Rule Chapter 61-30. Insurance inspections are completed on the forms required by insurers, such as the state’s Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form for wind mitigation, which may only be signed by the qualified professionals listed in section 627.711, Florida Statutes.

Owner to provide: Florida home inspector license number and insurance details. These are shown automatically once entered and marked verified in src/config/business.ts.

What an inspection includes

A visual, non-invasive evaluation of readily accessible systems and components within the agreed scope.
Operation of normal controls for major systems, where safe and practical.
A written report describing observed conditions, with photographs.

What an inspection does not include

Areas that are concealed, inaccessible, unsafe, or blocked by furniture, stored items, or finishes.
Destructive testing, opening walls, or dismantling equipment.
Mold, radon, asbestos, lead, and other environmental testing.
Wood-destroying organism (termite) inspections, which require a separately licensed pest control professional.
Wells, septic systems, pools, and irrigation systems unless specifically added and qualified.
Building code compliance, permit verification, engineering evaluations, or cost estimates.
Predictions of future performance or remaining service life beyond general observations.

Insurance inspections

Four-point and wind mitigation inspections document specific items for insurance underwriting. Your insurance company decides whether to issue or renew a policy and whether any discount or credit applies. We do not guarantee coverage, premiums, or discounts.

Florida disclosures

Owner to provide: any disclosures required for your services, cancellation and rescheduling policy, payment terms, and report delivery timeline. Have these reviewed for compliance before use with customers.
