Pre-Purchase Home Inspections

Our most popular service, a pre-purchase home inspection, gives you a comprehensive look at the condition of a home before you buy. Our detailed report covers all major systems, including the structure, roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. For homebuyers in Live Oak or Lake City, this inspection is crucial for negotiating repairs and making an informed decision. Jim’s dual expertise as a licensed contractor allows him to not only find issues but also provide a professional opinion on their severity and potential repair costs, giving you a distinct advantage.

Four-Point Inspections

Insurance providers across Florida and Georgia often require a Four-Point Inspection, especially for homes that are 30 years or older. This inspection focuses on four key areas: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Our certified report gives insurers the documentation they need while helping homeowners secure or renew a policy without surprise coverage denials. If you’re purchasing an older home in Madison or Tallahassee, this inspection is often mandatory — and our fast turnaround ensures you won’t miss your closing date.

Wind Mitigation Inspections

Living in a hurricane-prone state like Florida means protecting your home is a priority. A certified wind mitigation inspection can identify features that reduce wind damage, such as a reinforced roof or hurricane-rated doors and windows. Our detailed report can qualify you for significant discounts on your homeowner's insurance premiums. As homeowners across Perry and Monticello know, this small investment can lead to hundreds of dollars in savings every year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What's the difference between a home inspection and a four-point inspection in Florida?

    A full home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of the home’s structure and systems, from the foundation to the roof. A four-point inspection is a more limited assessment, focusing only on the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Insurance companies typically require a four-point inspection for older homes to determine insurability and risk, while a full home inspection is for the buyer’s peace of mind.

  • Do I need a wind mitigation inspection to lower my insurance premiums?

    While not mandatory, a wind mitigation inspection is highly recommended in hurricane-prone regions of Florida and Georgia. By documenting features like reinforced roofs, hurricane shutters, and strong roof-to-wall attachments, our certified report can qualify you for significant discounts on your homeowner's insurance policy.

  • How fast can I get an inspection report in Lake City or Valdosta?

    We understand that real estate deadlines are tight. We prioritize a fast turnaround, often delivering your complete, detailed report on the same day as the inspection. We can also accommodate same-day or next-day scheduling to ensure you have the information you need before your inspection contingency period ends.
