Home Inspections in St. Lucie County
Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce and Hutchinson Island: one of Florida's fastest-growing markets, with heavy new construction alongside older coastal housing.
St. Lucie County has been one of the fastest-growing markets in the state for the better part of a decade. Port St. Lucie alone has absorbed enormous volumes of new production housing, which means a large share of the inspections we perform here are new-construction and phase inspections rather than resale work.
New does not mean defect-free. On production builds we routinely document missing or improperly installed roof-to-wall connectors, stucco control-joint and flashing issues, HVAC condensate lines run without proper slope, electrical terminations left loose, attic insulation short of specification, and grading that pushes water toward the slab. A pre-drywall inspection catches the framing, mechanical and structural items while they are still visible, and a final walkthrough inspection catches the finish work while the builder is still responsible.
Fort Pierce and Hutchinson Island are a different story: older, closer to the water, and far more likely to need a 4-point and wind mitigation report before an insurance carrier will write the policy. We handle both ends of the county.
Inspections available in St. Lucie County
All 23 services→Home Inspection
A full evaluation of the home's structure and systems before you close. We inspect readily accessible components, photograph what we find, and deliver a report that explains the property's condition in plain language, not just a list of defects.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
An evaluation of your roof structure and how it performs in high winds, documented on the Florida Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form. It is not a pass or fail assessment. It is an informational report for you and your insurer, and it is the single largest discount available on a Florida homeowners policy.
4-Point Inspection
Four elements of a home are most often covered in an insurance claim: electrical, HVAC, water heater, and roof. Rather than a full review of the whole property, a 4-point inspection covers only those, which makes it quicker and less costly than a standard inspection while still focusing on exactly what your insurer requires.
Mold & Air Quality Testing
Our Mold & Air Quality service provides a simple way to learn more about the indoor air environment of a home. The service is most often performed as part of our home inspection, but it is also available as a standalone service. We collect air samples from the home and have them analyzed by an independent laboratory for mold and fungal spores. The results can help identify conditions that may warrant further evaluation.
Sewer Scope Inspection
A sewer scope inspects the lateral sewer line from the house at or close to the foundation out to the city sewer, HOA tap or septic tank. We run a camera through the line to see cracks, bellies, damage, clogs and debris, and save you thousands of dollars before you buy.
Roof Certification
A dedicated roof evaluation documenting covering type, age, condition and estimated remaining service life, the report carriers request when a roof's insurability is the open question.
