Pre-Purchase Home Inspections You Can Trust

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. Before you sign the paperwork, you need to know exactly what you’re buying — from the roof to the foundation and everything in between. At FL-GA Home Inspections, we provide thorough pre-purchase home inspections that give buyers peace of mind and leverage at the negotiation table.



With nearly two decades of contractor and inspection experience, plus advanced technology like drone and crawl-space cameras, we uncover issues other inspectors miss. Our goal is simple: protect your investment so you can move into your new home with confidence.

What Is a Pre-Purchase Home Inspection?

A pre-purchase home inspection is a complete evaluation of a property’s condition before closing. It’s not just about checking boxes — it’s about giving you the knowledge to make an informed decision.


We inspect all the critical systems and structural components of the home, including:


  • Roof & attic

  • Foundation & crawl space (with drone access if needed)

  • Electrical systems

  • Plumbing systems

  • HVAC systems

  • Windows, doors, insulation

  • Interior & exterior condition

  • Drainage & grading around the property

This inspection ensures you’re not blindsided by costly repairs after moving in.

A thorough inspection is more than peace of mind — it’s financial protection.


  • Avoid costly surprises: Spot hidden water damage, structural issues, or outdated electrical before they become expensive headaches.
  • Negotiate repairs or credits: Use the report as leverage to request fixes or adjust the purchase price.
  • Secure financing and insurance: Many lenders and insurers rely on inspection reports.
  • Plan ahead: Even if issues aren’t urgent, you’ll have a roadmap for future maintenance.

He really took his time and educated me about what he was looking for, how our house stacked up and what we could stand to do differently in the future. I highly recommend him.” – Kristin Searcy (Google Review)

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?

    Typically 2–4 hours depending on the home’s size and age.

  • When should I schedule my inspection?

    During your contract’s inspection contingency window. This ensures you can act on the results.


  • Do reports include photos and videos?

    Yes. We include images and drone footage when needed so you can clearly see the issues.

  • Can I attend the inspection?

     Absolutely. We encourage buyers to walk the property with us and ask questions on-site.


  • Is a pre-purchase inspection the same as a four-point inspection?

    No. A four-point is for insurance only and covers just the roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. A pre-purchase inspection is full-scope. If you need insurance inspections too, we also provide Four-Point Inspections and Wind Mitigation Inspections.
