Tampa Home Inspection Service, Certified Tampa Home Inspector, Florida Licensed Home Inspector, Certified ASHI, FABI, ICC inspector, Independent Home Inspector

Though the home buying process can be extremely stressful and confusing, financial disaster or disappointments can be avoided or minimized if you know the true condition of the home. Our Certified Home Inspection will identify hidden or intentionally concealed problems, offer solutions, and give cost estimates for major repairs and replacements when appropriate. Our Tampa Home Inspector's thorough and comprehensive, computer generated report, with digital imagery offers the crucial information a buyer needs to make his or her own decisions about accepting or declining the seller's offer. This Certified ASHI Home Inspection Report will empower the buyer with knowledge and information to re-negotiate price, ask for repairs prior to closing, or build in an allowance for the buyer to make repairs. These allowances for correcting deficiencies usually far exceeds the cost of an inspection.

It is important to find a Certified ASHI Home Inspector in the Tampa Bay area that is aware of the sometimes-unique building and remodeling practices found in Florida. This is especially true in homes built here in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Quite often they have been remodeled over the years by the homeowners themselves, by "Handy Men" (un-licensed contractors), or otherwise had significant work done without required permits. We see many examples of room additions that started out as patios, carports or garages, altered to become enclosed "Florida Rooms", bedrooms, bathrooms or other full "liveable" room space. In many cases it was discovered that there was no consideration regarding foundations, roof support, slab thickness, electrical needs, insulation or flashing details.

Concrete slabs of patios, carports and garages are never the same elevation as the existing structure foundation, which usually results in water intrusion when recognized construction practices are not followed...and they often are not.
