Found your home in West Palm Beach, Jupiter or anywhere nearby. What’s next?
A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the home, designed to identify defects within specific systems and components: roof, electrical, structure, heating and cooling, plumbing, appliances and more.
Purchasing a home is one of the largest single investments you will make, and you are usually limited by an inspection period. We identify deficiencies major and minor, determine potential safety hazards, flag issues that may cause future problems, and note maintenance that has been neglected. That covers all areas of the home: roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, irrigation, swimming pools and other components.
Let us help you. We are here to represent you.
Our commitment is an inspection that gives a full overview of the home, and the knowledge to understand it. Our inspectors are trained and certified to help you make your decision, to negotiate concessions, budget for alterations and avoid costly repairs. And we never rush an inspection. It is important to know all the details about your purchase.

Wind mitigation & four point.
Wind Mitigation
Our certified inspector looks for the key features and add-ons your home may have that reduce damage in a hurricane or strong windstorm. We verify how the roof is attached to the exterior walls, how the roof sheathing is secured to the roof system, check for window and door protection, and document all of it. The report goes to your insurance company to determine which credits apply to your home annually.
A wind mitigation is typically valid for 5 years, saving you money now and years to come. Whether you are buying or already own your home, we always recommend having an up-to-date wind mitigation on file.
Four Point Inspection
A four point inspection may be required by an insurance company before a homeowner’s policy is written. It verifies the current condition of the roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC to reduce the insurance company’s liability. Components in poor condition may fail, leading to fire or water damage.
Note: a four point inspection is not a home inspection and should not be used as one.
Both wind mitigation and four point inspections are filled out on the specific forms used by the state and insurance companies.
After a storm, the damage is not always easy to see.
When a major storm passes through, damage is not always easy to see. Our Post-Storm Inspection provides a thorough evaluation of the home’s exterior and interior to help identify potential storm-related damage and conditions that may require attention.
Our inspectors examine accessible areas of the roof, exterior surfaces, windows and doors, electrical components, attic, interior areas, and other key systems for visible signs of damage, water intrusion, or other concerns related to the storm.
You will receive a detailed, photo-documented inspection report outlining our findings and recommendations. This service can help homeowners better understand the condition of their property following a storm and provide valuable documentation when communicating with contractors, property managers, or insurance professionals.
Our goal is simple: help you understand what happened to your home and what needs attention before a small problem becomes a major one.
Post-Storm Inspection→Before your one-year anniversary.
Prior to the one-year anniversary of the purchase of your newly built home, we recommend an inspection. It identifies, in detail, any defects or issues that occurred during your first year of ownership.
The inspection is a full evaluation of the property: roof, electrical, structure, heating and cooling, plumbing and other components. That gives you an opportunity, during your one-year builder warranty period, to have defects identified and corrected.
You receive a detailed inspection report along with a deficiency list to supply to your builder for repairs.

All of our services include a comprehensive report and overview of your results, as well as a consultation with one of our inspectors to discuss the findings and the next steps that may be recommended to resolve any issues noted.

Residential
The inspections that inform a purchase, a sale, or the home you already own.
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.
Pre-Listing Inspection
An inspection before you list, so you find out what is wrong on your own timeline instead of three days before closing. Price with confidence, fix what matters, and disclose from a position of knowledge.
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.
WDO / Termite Inspection
A wood-destroying organism inspection covering subterranean and drywood termites, wood-decaying fungi and wood-boring beetles, reported on the Florida-required form for lenders and buyers.
Pool & Spa Inspection
A visual inspection of the pool and spa: shell and surfaces, decking, equipment at the pad, plumbing connections, electrical bonding and safety barriers. Pools are excluded from a standard home inspection, and the equipment is expensive to replace.
Solar System Inspection
Solar panels love soaking up sun. We make sure they are soaking up savings too. A Sprk Certified evaluation of your photovoltaic system: energy production, component life, equipment safety, storage, and the roof underneath it. We inspect both owned and leased systems.
Engineer Foundation Evaluation
Concerned about foundation movement, settlement or cracking? We perform a detailed site evaluation and plot point layout of the property, and a licensed professional engineer reviews that documentation and issues a written report on the conditions observed and what they mean.
Post-Storm Inspection
When a major storm passes through, damage is not always easy to see. A thorough evaluation of the home's exterior and interior to identify potential storm-related damage and conditions that may require attention, documented in a report you can hand to a contractor or an insurance professional.
Insurance Inspections
Filled out on the specific forms the state and carriers require.
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.
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.
New Construction & Warranty
Independent eyes while the builder is still responsible.
Pre-Drywall & Phase Inspections
Independent inspections at each stage of construction, while the framing, plumbing, electrical and structural connections are still visible and still the builder's responsibility to correct.
Builder Warranty Inspection
A full inspection near the end of your builder's warranty period, usually around month eleven, so defects get documented and repaired while the builder is still obligated to fix them.
Environmental & Testing
What the property's air, water and materials actually contain.
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.
FHA / VA Water Quality Testing
Laboratory water testing to the standards FHA and VA lenders require on properties served by a private well, and worth doing on any well property, financed or not.
Infrared / Thermal Imaging
Infrared scanning used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool to reveal temperature differences inside the building envelope that could indicate moisture, missing insulation, air leakage or electrical faults, conditions invisible to the eye.
Acreage & Waterfront
Systems and structures a standard inspection excludes.
Septic Inspection
An evaluation of the septic tank and drainfield on properties not connected to municipal sewer: standard across Jupiter Farms, Loxahatchee, Palm City, Indiantown and acreage property throughout the Treasure Coast.
Well Inspection
A full evaluation of a private well system, wellhead, pump, pressure tank, controls and delivered flow, for the acreage and equestrian properties where the water supply is entirely your responsibility.
Seawall Inspection
A condition assessment of the seawall, cap and tieback system protecting a waterfront property: the single most expensive structure on the lot, and the one excluded from every standard home inspection.
Dock & Boatlift Inspection
An evaluation of dock structure and boatlift equipment on waterfront property: pilings, decking, framing, electrical, and the lift motors, cables and cradle. Inspected alongside the seawall, since the three usually fail together.
Commercial, Lending & Ownership
Due diligence for lenders, and care for the home you already own.
Commercial Property Inspection
Condition and property assessments on office, retail, warehouse, industrial and multi-unit buildings, coordinated with your lender, attorney and transaction team.
HUD 203(k) Consulting
FHA 203(k) consulting for renovation loans: the feasibility study, work write-up, cost estimate and draw inspections HUD requires to finance a property and its repairs in a single mortgage.
Property Review Inspection
An inspection for the home you already own. Catch problems early, protect your property's value, and get a clear picture of how the house is actually doing, before small issues turn into expensive ones.
Office, retail, warehouse, and multi-unit.
We inspect commercial property and deliver a Property Condition Report your lender, attorney and transaction team can actually use, scoped to the building and to your closing timeline.
