This is a comprehensive and detailed full Home Inspection. 

Home Inspection time is an exciting time. You're one step closer to realizing your dream.

You can't pass or fail. All of the upside is to benefit YOU. The buyer. You will save money, know safety concerns in advance, and have a negotiating edge.

The Generalist/Standard Home Inspection is a point-in-time, non invasive inspection, of the visible and accessible areas of one to four family home (condo/townhouse). This is not an appraisal. Those benefit the banks. They are not cheap. Don't settle for a cheap home inspection for yourself.

​​Orlando Home Inspection Services inspectors are professionals. You will have a Certified Master Inspector® on site during your home inspection. Your inspection is also backed by a Buy Back Guarantee.

The scope of your inspection is limited to the accessible areas of your home. Make sure you move furniture, have keys to locks, and there are no obstructions on the day of your inspection.

​Here is an abbreviated list of what we inspect:
​
  • Roof, vents, flashings, and trim,
  • Gutters and downspouts,
  • Skylight, chimney and other roof penetrations,
  • Decks, stoops, porches, walkways, and railings,
  • Eaves, soffit and fascia,
  • Grading and drainage,
  • Basement, foundation and crawlspace,
  • Water penetration and foundation movement,
  • Heating systems,
  • Cooling systems,
  • Main water shut off valves,
  • Water heating system,
  • Interior plumbing fixtures and faucets,
  • Drainage sump pumps with accessible floats,
  • Electrical service line and meter box,
  • Main disconnect and service amperage,
  • Electrical panels, breakers and fuses,
  • Grounding and bonding,
  • GFCIs and AFCIs,
  • Fireplace damper door and hearth,
  • Insulation and ventilation,
  • Garage doors, safety sensors, and openers,
  • Swimming pools (built in)
  • Spa's (built in)
  • Solar Pool Heaters

And much more!...

Findings

Most findings will be maintenance recommendations and minor imperfections. Correct them as soon as possible. 

The issues that matter will fall into four categories: 
  1. Major defects like a structural failure.
  2. Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
  3. Things that may hinder your ability to finance, occupy or insure the home.
  4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.

Often, a serious problem is inexpensive to correct to protect both life and property. (Especially in categories 2 and 4).​Seller's are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in your inspection report. No house is perfect. Keep things in perspective. 

Even after your home inspection is complete you may call upon your Orlando Home Inspection Services InterNACHI Certified Master Inspectors. We will help you devise an annual maintenance plan. Doing so will keep your family safe and your home in top condition for years to come. ​​

Timing

A Generalist Home Inspection may take as much as 3-4 hours on site in a typical 3 bedroom 2 bath home.

Based on the size, age, condition and features of the home, the time varies. During our time onsite we collect information and take hundreds of pictures. Your home inspection report will be very professional and detailed.

Some inspectors offer the report onsite. We do not. 
Some inspectors use hand written reports. We do not.
Some inspectors leave a lot to be desired. We do not. 

Your Certified Master Inspector® will review the findings twice to ensure nothing was missed.

We genuinely care about or clients. We know that a small leak can lead to a major financial setback if not discovered. We take our time and make sure the work is correct the first time.

​You will have your inspection report on the next business day.
​

Attendance

You're welcome to attend the inspection.
Most clients request their Realtor attend on their behalf.
​

We will review our initial findings on site. We can address any questions or concerns you may have as well.
​

What Our Clients Are Saying:

I found Desmond on the internet. From start to finish Desmond was a really nice guy he helped me out and pointed out some things that I thought were very valid as far as what you need to know before you buy a home. I feel secure with his reports and I am going to buy the home because of what Desmond has told us. I appreciate all of his hard work and I’ll definitely refer him to all of my friends and family. Matt Hamilton, Orlando, Florida​
