General FAQs
How much does a home inspection cost in Miami?

How long does a typical home inspection take?
Inspections usually last 2–3 hours, and your report is delivered electronically within 24 hours. Larger or older homes may take longer.
Do you inspect condos as well as single-family homes?

Insurance-Related FAQs
What is a 4-Point Inspection, and when do I need one?
A 4-Point Inspection evaluates the roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. Most Florida insurers require it for homes 20 years or older.
What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection, and how does it help?
A Wind Mitigation Inspection documents your home’s wind-resistant features. Most Miami homeowners save hundreds of dollars per year on insurance premiums with this inspection.
Specialty Inspection FAQs
Do I really need a sewer scope inspection in Miami?
If you’re buying an older Miami home (built before 1980), yes. Many of these homes still have cast iron pipes that are corroding and failing. A sewer scope can save you thousands in unexpected repairs.
Why are mold inspections so important in Miami?
Miami’s hot, humid climate makes mold growth common. A mold assessment identifies hidden moisture problems, protects indoor air quality, and gives you peace of mind.
Process FAQs
What happens if the inspector finds problems?
Every inspection includes a detailed, photo-rich report. If issues are found, you can negotiate repairs or credits with the seller, or plan for future maintenance.
Can I attend the inspection?
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage buyers to attend so you can see issues firsthand and ask questions.
