Our comprehensive home inspections cover everything from foundation to roof, including structural components, roofing, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, attic, insulation, windows, doors, and all major appliances. We also include thermal imaging on every full inspection at no extra charge to detect hidden issues like moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, and electrical hotspots. You'll receive a detailed digital report with photos and clear recommendations.
Most home inspections take 2-3 hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. Larger homes or those with additional structures may take longer. We take the time needed to thoroughly evaluate every accessible area of your home.
We guarantee same-day to 24-hour report delivery. Your comprehensive digital report will include detailed photos, color-coded findings, and clear recommendations for any issues discovered. You can access it from any device, and we're available to answer questions after you review it.
While not required, we highly recommend attending your inspection. Frank or Sage will walk you through the property and explain findings in real-time, helping you understand your home's condition and maintenance needs. It's an invaluable opportunity to ask questions and learn about your investment.
Thermal imaging uses infrared technology to detect temperature variations that indicate hidden problems invisible to the naked eye—like moisture intrusion, missing insulation, air leaks, and electrical issues. We include it free on every full home inspection because we believe in providing the most thorough evaluation possible to protect your investment.
A full home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of all major systems and components. A 4-point inspection is a focused assessment of just four key areas: roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. 4-point inspections are typically required by insurance companies for older homes (usually 30+ years) or when securing homeowners insurance in Florida.
