Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a home inspection take?

    Most home inspections take 2-4 hours depending on the property size and age. You're welcome to attend and ask questions throughout the process.
  • What's included in a complete inspection?

    We examine all accessible systems including structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and interior components. You receive a detailed digital report with photographs within 24 hours.
  • Do I need a wind mitigation inspection?

    If your Jacksonville home has wind-resistant features, this inspection can reduce insurance premiums by 10-45%. The savings often exceed the inspection cost within the first year.
  • When should I schedule my inspection?

    Schedule during your inspection contingency period, typically 7-10 days after contract acceptance. This gives you time to negotiate repairs or adjust your offer based on findings.
  • What's a four-point inspection for?

    Insurance companies require this for homes over 20 years old. It examines roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems to determine coverage eligibility and premium rates.
  • Can you detect termites during inspection?

    Yes, our WDO inspection identifies termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles. We examine crawl spaces, foundations, and moisture-prone areas where these pests typically establish colonies.
  • What happens if major issues are found?

    Our report categorizes findings by severity and explains repair costs. You can use this information to negotiate with sellers, adjust your offer, or request repairs before closing.
  • Do you serve areas outside Jacksonville?

    Yes, we provide inspection services throughout Duval County, Nassau County, St. Johns County, Orange Park, Middleburg, and surrounding Northeast Florida communities.
  • How soon can I get my report?

    Digital reports with photographs are delivered within one business day of inspection. Rush delivery is available if your closing timeline requires immediate results.
  • Why choose a professional inspector?

    Professional inspectors identify safety concerns, system defects, and maintenance issues that untrained eyes miss. This protects your investment and prevents costly surprises after closing.
