Wind Mitigation Inspection
Wind mitigations are highly recommended to Florida residents because of the potential for significant savings on your homeowners insurance. For the minimal cost of the inspection and potential monthly savings on your homeowners insurance, it is a very smart choice when purchasing your new home. There are many factors that may qualify your new home for insurance discounts, including:
- the roof style
- the materials used for the roof sheathing
- the roof covering material
- window and door ratings, as well as attic ifo.
Termite (WDO) Inspection
Termite or WDO (wood destroying organisms) inspections are another common inspection done in Florida. With the humid warm conditions year round in Florida, it makes it an ideal environment for termites to exist. We can inspect for the signs of any active or live insects, dead or evidence that there has been insects in the property, and document any and all damage as a result of wood destroying organisms.
4 Point Inspection
4 Point inspections are required with most homeowners insurance companies for houses over 30 years old. If your home is under 30 years old this inspection is most likely not necessary.
Pool Inspection
Pool inspections are important since so many pools exist in Florida and when well maintained can last for many years, but if not cared for properly can lead to expensive repairs. If the pool is over 10 years old then an inspection is recommended, over 20 years is highly recommended. Our inspections include:
- the overall condition of the pool surface
- stairs, railing, and surrounding deck
- pool equipment to make sure it’s wired correctly
- the age of the equipment
- operation of all components
- any safety issues
