What We Uncover and Why It Matters in Florida Homes

What We Do, Plain and Simple

We inspect Florida homes like they’re our own—because most of our team lives in the neighborhoods we serve. Whether it’s a resale in Tampa, new construction near Apollo Beach, or a four-point inspection for insurance, we give clients facts they can act on. Not opinions, not scare tactics—just the clear condition of the home, explained without fluff.

What We Typically Find—and Why It Pays to Know Early

Here’s a look at how many reportable issues we identify on average, depending on inspection type.

Most surprises pop up during full residential inspections, but even a basic 4-point check can reveal what’s about to break, leak, or trip the breaker box. If you’re buying or selling, this chart gives you a real-world expectation—not guesswork.


We Understand Florida Homes Because We Work in Them Year-Round

Every city has its quirks. In Florida, we routinely inspect:

  • Stucco cracks hidden by paint

  • Improper roof tie-downs that disqualify wind credits

  • Drainage issues from high water tables

  • Aluminum wiring in older homes

  • Unpermitted patio enclosures and room conversions

Each Florida-specific issue affects value, insurance, or safety—and every one of them can show up even in homes that “look fine.”


Inspection Reports Built for Homeowners, Not Engineers

We write for everyday people. Our reports are delivered within 24 hours and include:

  • Photos of every concern

  • A clear summary at the top

  • Repair estimates where applicable

  • Plain English explanations

  • PDF format with mobile optimization

Sample reports are available on request if you want to preview the format before booking.
