Search Home Inspectors by City in Florida

A home inspection report will cover the condition of the home's heating system, central a/c, interior plumbing and electrical systems, the roof, attic and visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors, the foundation, and structural components.

More likely than not, your home is likely the largest, single investment you will ever make. Why not minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected issues? You certainly want to learn as much as you can about the house before you buy it. A home inspection can help to identify a need for any major repairs, or maintenance. After the inspection is completed, you will have more confidence in the decisions you make in reference to the home purchase. If you are planning to sell your home, an inspection can help you to make any necessary repairs before you put it on the market.

So, you're probably wondering how much a home inspection will cost you. The fee does vary geographically, so get at least 3 quotes. Of course, cost shouldn't be the determining factor when you settle on a home inspector. Sometimes, the lowest cost inspection isn't always a bargain. Make sure to hire an inspector that has some experience.

Can a house fail a home inspection? In a word - no. It's only an examination of the current condition of the home and is not an appraisal. You will only get a physical condition report and an indication of what may need a major repair, minor repair, or replacement.

If you are considering purchasing a home and it looks to be in good condition, you may be tempted to skip the inspection. Don't! You just never know and if the inspector uncovers something that could be costly down the road, you will save money in the long run.
