Services
Residential Inspections
Our residential inspections provide comprehensive evaluations of single-family homes, covering structural components, HVAC systems, electrical wiring, plumbing, and roof condition. We identify potential issues with photographs and detailed reporting, helping buyers and sellers make informed decisions. Our state-certified contractors deliver same-day results with clear recommendations for maintenance or repairs.
Wind Mitigation
Wind mitigation inspections assess hurricane-resistant features including roof covering, deck nailing, roof-to-wall attachment, and opening protection. We document qualifying credits for insurance discounts using photographic evidence and building code documentation. Our certified inspectors evaluate roof shape, secondary water barriers, and structural components to determine wind resistance levels for residential properties.
Termite Inspections
Conducted through our sister company 360 Pest Control, these inspections identify wood-destroying organisms using Florida State WDO forms. We provide color-photographed reports showing termite evidence, damage locations, and prevention recommendations. Our licensed technicians offer quotes for subterranean termite prevention and general pest control services following inspection findings.
Radon Testing
Licensed by the Florida Department of Health, we perform radon testing using approved measurement protocols. Our services include 120-day radon protection plans for results under 4 PiC/L, with mitigation cost coverage if levels increase. We follow strict testing procedures and provide educational resources about radon exposure risks and mitigation options.
Commercial Inspections
We inspect light commercial buildings including offices and hotels, evaluating construction quality and potential issues before leasing or purchase. Our assessments cover structural components, HVAC systems, electrical infrastructure, and plumbing. As licensed contractors, we provide detailed reports with photographic documentation to help commercial buyers understand property condition and maintenance needs.
