Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your inspection
What does a home inspection include?
A full home inspection covers the roof, structure, foundation, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, windows, doors, and more. You'll receive an interactive report with annotated photos of every finding, delivered the same day.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most inspections take between 2 and 4 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger or older homes may take longer. We never rush — every area of the home gets the attention it deserves.
How much does a home inspection cost in Lake Worth?
Pricing depends on the size of the home and the services you need. Contact us for a free quote — we're happy to walk you through your options and bundle additional services.
Do I need to be present for the inspection?
You're welcome to attend but it's not required. Many clients join for the last 30 minutes so we can walk through the major findings together. Either way, your interactive report will have everything you need.
What is a 4-point inspection?
A 4-point inspection evaluates four major systems: roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. It's required by most Florida insurance companies for homes over 20 years old to issue or renew a homeowner's policy.
What is a wind mitigation inspection?
A wind mitigation inspection documents the features of your home that protect against hurricane damage — roof shape, attachment type, secondary water resistance, and opening protection. In Florida, this report can qualify you for significant discounts on your homeowner's insurance.
How soon do I get my report?
Same day. Your interactive report is built in real time during the inspection and delivered as soon as we're done. No waiting days for a PDF — open it on your phone, tablet, or laptop right away.
