Our inspections apply established standards that include review of the exterior, structure, roof, openings, HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, appliances, interior components, pools and spas, and irrigation systems.
We evaluate the home as a complete system, identifying defects, interactions between systems, and long-term risks.
We provided additional specialized inspections based on your situation including: mold assessments, particulate testing, FHA/water testing, sea wall/dock, retaining walls, and WDO/termite inspections
Most inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on size, condition,
and additional features or testing requests.
We recommend attending the inspection if you can; we will set aside additional
time onsite to answer your questions and review photos (typically 200+).
We will provide context and recommendations for any findings.
If you cannot attend, we can also arrange Zoom/FaceTime conference calls to review photos and/or review the report and findings.
A 4-point is a specifically targeted inspection driven by the
insurance industry. Insurance carriers use it to determine if they
are willing to bind a coverage policy for the property.
The condition of four systems are evaluated: roof, HVAC, plumbing
and electrical. Remediation steps may be required to bring as system
back to satisfactory condition allowing insurance coverage.
The wind mitigation inspection is significant in Palm Beach and
neighboring counties. It is a targeted evaluation of the building envelope
(openings and roof structure).
The 2001 Florida Building Code drives wind mitigation requirements that the
insurance industry uses to determine insurance premium discounts your
property may qualify for.
A mold assessment is a detailed inspection of your property that evaluates
environmental conditions and identifies factors mold commonly thrives on,
such as: excess moisture, high humidity, ventilation deficiencies, or past
water damage.
If there is evidence of a prior leak or repair work, visual staining or growth,
odors, or other suspect conditions, or if one of the occupants has known health
sensitivities, a mold assessment can be performed.
The goal is to determine whether mold is present, the extent of growth,
identify contributing causes, and define the steps needed to bring the property
back to a normal condition.
We are licensed to provide a remediation protocol outlining procedures for
a qualified remediator, and we also perform post-remediation verification to
confirm the issue has been properly resolved.
If the property has has well and septic systems, you may want testing
to confirm everything is in good order. If an FHA or VA loan is being
used to finance the purchase, water testing will be required.
Three samples are collected and the lab will verify presence of:
nitrates/nitrites, lead, and coliform bacteria (e.g. E. coli).
Similar to our residential inspections, commercial property inspections
evaluate foundation and structural components, roofing, mechanical systems,
electrical systems, plumbing, life-safety systems, site conditions, and
operational risks.
While the core systems are similar, commercial properties often involve greater
complexity and a different analytical focus, making these inspections especially
valuable for due diligence, risk evaluation, investment analysis, and planning.
We may bring specialists to evaluate a specific system or provide detailed estimates as needed.
Reports are typically delivered within 24 hours, complete with photos, explanations, and recommendations. Lab results may take longer to obtain depending on the type of testing required.
Yes. We offer expedited scheduling for buyers and commercial clients under contract deadlines.
Yes. Dan maintains current Florida licenses as a Home Inspector and Mold Assessor. We also maintain insurance coverage in excess of the Florida minimum requirements.
Our inspections go beyond standard checklists. We apply engineering principles,
building science, and contractor management experience to evaluate properties holistically
and strategically.
Our goal is to educate so you understand not only current conditions, but also the scope,
complexity, and risks given our findings — allowing you to assess your capacity,
budget, and appetite for the work associated with your purchase.
Absolutely. We provide investor-focused inspections including multi-unit evaluations, value-add analysis, and long-term system reliability insights.
