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.

Findings
The issues that matter will fall into four categories:
- Major defects like a structural failure.
- Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
- Things that may hinder your ability to finance, occupy or insure the home.
- 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
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 use hand written reports. We do not.
Some inspectors leave a lot to be desired. We do not.
