What a pre-purchase inspection covers
A full visual inspection of the home's major systems and components, following InterNACHI's Standards of Practice. Steve checks the things most buyers never see on a walkthrough.
- Roof and attic: covering, flashing, ventilation, insulation and signs of past leaks.
- Structure and exterior: foundation, walls, windows, doors, grading and drainage.
- Electrical: service panel, breakers, wiring types, GFCI and AFCI protection.
- Plumbing: supply and drain lines, water heater, fixtures and visible leaks.
- Heating and cooling: operation, condition and age of the HVAC system.
- Interior: walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, built-in appliances and moisture concerns.
Why it matters in Florida
Salt air, humidity, heavy summer storms and strong sun are hard on homes. After 14 years of inspecting East Florida properties, Steve knows where our climate shows up first: roofs, AC systems, windows, stucco and anything with moisture. Finding it now gives you leverage and peace of mind.
What you get
A detailed digital report with photos and plain-English notes on what was found, why it matters and what to do next. Steve is always happy to walk you through it, because a report is only useful if you understand it.
How long does it take?
A typical home inspection takes about three hours. Larger homes, or homes with a pool, detached structures or extra systems, take longer.
