Florida Pro Home Inspections

A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from roof to foundation. An inspection is the equivalent of a physical examination from your doctor. When problems or symptoms of problems are found, the inspector may recommend further evaluation or remedies.

A standard home inspection summarizes findings from a visual inspection of the condition of the subject home's heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; foundation, basement, and the visible structures of the home.

Florida Pro Home Inspections makes no representations regarding compliance with any governmental building, electrical or other codes. It shall be understood that no structural members, covers, exterior barriers, natural or man-made shall be disturbed for the purpose of the inspection.

This is a non-warranty explanation.

Existing Home Inspections

Welcome Homebuyers, Sellers and Owners

Congratulations on taking that big step in to home ownership. For most of Americans a home will be their single most expensive item they will ever purchase. It will be my obligation to provide you with a comprehensive visual inspection in order for you to have piece of mind and confidence that you have purchased the home you deserve.

Buying a home may seem like an endless series of critical, important decisions. When you find the house that is right for you, hiring a new-home inspector to educate you about the condition of your new home is a wise decision.

Whom do you trust?

The current home owner probably knows very little about the house they’ve lived in for many years. A home inspector has been trained and certified with the knowledge needed to analyze the existing conditions visually found in the house. The inspector will provide you with an unbiased report that you can trust.

 As a home inspector in Tampa, St Petersburg, Clearwater and surrounding counties I am well qualified to help you find peace of mind in your search for most items using the visual approach under ASHI home inspector guidelines.

Whether you are buying or selling a home.

Homebuyers are not the only people who hire Inspectors. Homeowners also use inspections to gain knowledge of the condition of their home before placing it on the market. Smart home sellers are aware that knowledge about their home’s condition makes the selling process more palatable. Homebuyers, home sellers, homeowners, and anyone else who wants to make an informed decision about a house based on objective information needs a professional home inspection.

What’s involved in a standard inspection?

A standard  home inspection summarizes findings from a visual inspection of the condition of the subject home’s heating system; central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing and electrical systems; roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors; foundation, basement, and all visible structures of the home.

New Construction Inspections

Why do I need a Home Inspection on a house that was just built?

This is a good and valid question. The answer is that in today’s construction world, most developers and contractors engage in track home building and/or large development construction. The subcontractors they hire move quickly from house to house, and the only person keeping track of their work is the construction superintendent who has 50 to 60 other houses in various stages of construction. The superindentents, like the city inspectors, are overwhelmed. They are looking at the same construction day in and day out, and they will more than likely miss something along the way.

The City Inspectors have already inspected my house...  right?

Maybe….The city inspectors are so overloaded with inspections that it would be impossible for them to conduct a thorough inspection of each home currently under construction. In fact, the city hires engineering firms to conduct inspections for them throughout the city because the workload is so great. 

Will my builder care if I hire an inspector?

Absolutely! Builders do not like anyone looking over their shoulders at their work. By hiring a new-home inspector, you are sending a message to your builder that you are watching and that their quality of work will be documented.
