Comprehensive Evaluations for Confident Homeownership

A Full Residential Home Inspection is a complete, top-to-bottom evaluation of a property's condition. Whether you're buying, selling, or maintaining your home, this inspection gives you the insights needed to make informed decisions and protect your investment.

 What  the Inspection Covers:

• Roofing System – Condition, age, flashing, drainage, and structure

• Exterior – Walls, siding, doors, windows, soffits, grading, driveways

• Structure & Foundation – Visible signs of movement, cracks, or damage

• Electrical System – Panel, breakers, wiring, outlets, GFCIs, safety issues

• Plumbing System – Pipes, drains, water heater, fixtures, and water pressure

• HVAC System – Heating and cooling function, age, and condition

• Interior – Walls, ceilings, floors, doors, stairs, and attic access

• Insulation & Ventilation – Energy efficiency and moisture control

• Appliances – Built-in kitchen appliances (functionality and condition)

 Why It’s Important:

• Buy with Confidence – Uncover hidden issues before closing

• Sell with Transparency – Address problems in advance and add value

• Maintain with Precision – Prevent costly repairs with early detection

• Peace of Mind – Know the true condition of your home

Wind Mitigation Inspection

Wind Mitigation Inspection

​

Protect Your Home. Save on Insurance. Gain Peace of Mind.

A Wind Mitigation Inspection is a detailed assessment of your home’s structural features designed to reduce wind damage during severe weather events, such as hurricanes. This inspection can help lower your insurance premiums and ensure your property meets Florida's wind-resistant building standards.

​

What the Inspection Covers:

​

• Roof Covering – Type, age, and compliance with current building codes

• Roof Deck Attachment – How securely your roof is fastened to the structure

• Roof-to-Wall Connections – Clips, straps, or anchors that secure the roof

• Roof Geometry – Design and shape of the roof (e.g., hip vs. gable)

• Secondary Water Barrier – Underlayment that prevents water intrusion

• Opening Protection – Impact-resistant doors, windows, and shutters

​

•     Why It Matters:

​

• Insurance Discounts: Florida insurers are required to offer premium reductions for homes with qualified wind mitigation features.

• Storm Readiness: Ensure your property is better protected during high winds.

• Increased Home Value: A properly reinforced home is more attractive to buyers.

• Compliance and Safety: Stay up to code and avoid costly repairs post-storm.​

  4 point Inspection

4-Point Home Inspection

​

Essential Inspections for Insurance and Safety

A 4-Point Inspection is a focused evaluation of the four primary systems of a home: Roofing, Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning). This inspection is typically required by insurance companies—especially for homes over 20 years old—before issuing or renewing a homeowner’s insurance policy.

 What  the Inspection Covers:

• Roofing System

  • Age, type, and condition of the roof

  • Signs of leaks, damage, or deterioration

  • Remaining useful life

• Electrical System

  • Main panel, breakers, wiring type, grounding

  • Proper operation of outlets, switches, GFCIs

  • Identification of outdated or unsafe components (e.g., aluminum wiring, Federal Pacific panels)

• Plumbing System

  • Type and condition of supply and drain lines

  • Water heater age, installation, and operation

  • Signs of leaks, corrosion, or improper repairs

• HVAC System

  • Heating and cooling function

  • System age and visible condition

  • Thermostat and air flow operation

 Why It Matters:

• Insurance Compliance – Required by most Florida insurers for older homes

• Risk Assessment – Highlights systems that may pose a liability or safety risk

• Cost Efficiency – Quick, focused, and more affordable than a full inspection

• Home Value Insight – Helps prioritize upgrades and repairs

Water Quality Control Test

  Why It Matters:

 Health & Safety

Contaminants like bacteria (E. coli), lead, nitrates, and chemicals can pose serious health risks, especially to children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.

  Property Value

A home with clean, tested water is more appealing to buyers. Water issues discovered later can delay or even cancel a sale.

  Early Detection of  Problems

Testing reveals corrosion, hard water, or other issues that can damage plumbing fixtures, appliances, or even the structure of your home over time.

  Peace of Mind

​​

Knowing your water is safe gives you confidence and reassurance—especially if you're living in or buying a rural home with a private well.

​

   Bottom Line:

​

A water quality test is a small step that delivers big protection. It ensures your water is safe, your plumbing is preserved, and your home is healthier for everyone inside.

Air Quality Control Test

Health and Safety

​

Poor indoor air quality can cause or worsen health problems such as:

• Asthma and allergies (due to mold, dust, or pet dander)

• Respiratory issues (from radon, VOCs, or carbon monoxide)

• Headaches, fatigue, and eye/nose irritation

An air quality test helps detect harmful pollutants that may not be visible or immediately noticeable.

​

Mold Detection

​

Mold spores in the air can:

• Damage the structure of the home

• Indicate water damage or high humidity

• Pose health risks, especially for children, elderly, or immunocompromised individuals

Testing helps determine if mold is present before it becomes a major issue.

​

Radon Testing

​

Radon is a radioactive gas that can seep in from the ground and is a leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. It’s:

• Odorless and invisible

• Especially a concern in basements and poorly ventilated spaces

Air quality tests can detect radon levels to ensure they are within safe limits.

​

 Carbon Monoxide and Combustion Gases

​

Homes with fuel-burning appliances (gas stoves, furnaces, fireplaces) risk:

• Carbon monoxide (CO) buildup

• Improper venting of combustion gases

Testing helps confirm appliances are venting correctly and not endangering occupants.

​

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

​

VOCs are emitted by common household products like:

• Paints, cleaning supplies, furniture, flooring

Prolonged exposure can lead to chronic health effects. VOC levels are checked to assess long-term air quality.

​

Preventing Costly Repairs

​

Early detection of air quality issues can:

• Uncover hidden problems (e.g. leaks, poor insulation, contaminated ductwork)

• Avoid expensive remediation later

​

Resale Value & Negotiation

​

If you're buying a home:

• Poor air quality results can be used to negotiate repairs or price reductions

• For sellers, demonstrating good air quality can increase buyer confidence

​

Summary

​

A home may look fine on the surface, but air quality testing reveals what you can’t see, ensuring a healthier and safer environment for current and future occupants.
