Residential Building Inspections
1. Pre-Sale Listing Inspection
This type of inspection is a quick 30-45 minute inspection. An inspector
performs a quick walkthrough of your mobile home or house. We
provide you with an overview of what you might need to repair or
items that might need to be replaced before you list your home.

2. Roof Inspection (Home or Mobile Home)
A roof inspection should be performed annually. If your roof leaks, the
entire structure could be at risk. Many insurance companies recommend
annual damage inspections in Florida. In fact, some insurance companies
require them. Roof inspections find problems that need to be repaired
before they become huge issues.

existing policy. A 4-point insurance inspection includes an
evaluation of the four following systems:
Roof: Type of Roof Covering (shingles, tile, rolled). The age and
condition of the roof. Are there missing shingles or leaks?

aluminum, knob and tube). The brand of the electrical panel.
and the condition of the homes electrical system.

4. Wind Mitigation (Home)
A wind mitigation inspection is a report that may help homeowners
qualify for an insurance premium discount. These discounts are
provided to homeowners who have wind-resistance features on their
property. These features decrease the amount of damage that may
occur during a hurricane or heavy windstorm. This translates into less
risk for the insurance company. The main areas inspected include the
home’s construction, gable-end bracing, roof geometry and design,
the roof to wall connections – i.e. clips, straps, etc., any special impact
resistant glass, reinforced garage doors, hurricane shutters, a
secondary water resistance barrier, and any other protection used
to help prevent wind-borne debris damage. With your certified wind
mitigation report, the insurance company will calculate the amount
of discount.

5. Infrared Thermal Inspection (Mobile Home or Home)
An infrared inspection is a high-tech service that lets us examine
a home or commercial building for a variety of problems, including
some electrical hazards, draft points or missing insulation, possible
plumbing leaks, and even roof leaks. Infrared technology is mostly
used to detect HVAC loss around windows, identify insulation
issues and check electrical panels for dangerous breakers.
