Services & Fees

FEES

The inspection fees vary slightly depending on the size and age of the house. Please call 321-960-7100 for a detailed quote on your home.




A full inspection of a typical average size house (up to 1500 square feet under roof) is $150.00. Above that it is .10 per square foot under roof extra.  (note: most sq. ft. references are refering to the under air/heated area. Under roof refers to all area's including those not under air/heat, like the garage. The county website will give the under roof sq. ft. for the property)

We do not perform WDO/Termite inspections, but if you request this inspection, we will coordinate this inspection to be done at the same time we perform our inspection in order to save you time.

SERVICES

Pre-Purchase Inspection

A home inspection is a visual process where all of the items typically used within a home are tested and/or operated to verify proper operation or installation. Foundation and exterior inspected, doors and windows are opened and closed, roofing materials inspected, electrical and plumbing systems evaluated, air-conditioning and heating systems operated. The Inspector will fill the sinks and tub(s), run the shower(s), and flush the toilets. All the while making notes on the condition and operation of the components tested.
At the conclusion of the inspection a completed report will be written and uploaded to a secure website for your review.





New Construction Inspections

New construction inspections are performed at the completion of construction, but prior to your final walk through with the Builder's Customer Service Representative or Superintendent. This is not a code inspection but a visual and operational inspection. It is always a good idea to verify that utilities (gas, water, and electric) have been turned on, either by you or the Builder depending on the Builder's policy. The inspection should be scheduled just a few days before your final walk through with the Builder. This will ensure that most, if not all, last minute items have been completed prior to your inspection. At the conclusion of the inspection a completed report will be written and uploaded to a secure website for your review.
Note: as some builders require us to include them as a "Also Insured" on our insurance policy, please allow us at least  two days prior to the inspection to ensure this gets completed.





Pre-Warranty Expiration Inspections

Warranty inspections are performed during the 11th month of your 1-year Builder Warranty. The inspection will be performed to verify that proper building techniques were used and that the various components of the home were properly installed and functioning as expected.
This is an important inspection and we recommend every new homeowner get this inspection done prior to the expiration of the builders warranty. At the conclusion of the inspection a completed report will be written and uploaded to a secure website for your review.







Seller Certified Home Program (Pre-Listing Inspections)
Listing inspections are very good for the homeowner who may not be in tune with the condition of their home. A great many sales are cancelled due to the buyer's shock at the "functional condition" of the home. It may look great, but have serious technical, safety, or functional issues present without the owner's knowledge. Having the home inspected prior to placing it on the market is the ideal way to identify and either repair or disclose the issue found in the Inspection Report. Obviously, repairing the items would be the most beneficial towards completing the sale. However, there may be financial reasons where the owner can't make the repairs. Disclosing them up front and pricing the home based upon that disclosure will often times produce a higher net sales price for the owner.  Most buyers will have their own inspection done, but there should be no shocking surprises. Our inspection report will be uploaded to a secure server. We can make this report available to the public for their review by a link placed on your listing.
