ASHI Certified Home Inspections in the Tampa Bay area

Purchasing a home in the Tampa Bay area is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. A huge decision that can be an emotionally charged event filled with anxiety, hopeful dreams and sometimes disappointments after moving in. It is a decision that will affect you and your family for years to come. And of course, there is always considerable risk involved when making such a large purchase decision, whether the house is primarily a financial investment, or if you plan on living there.Though the home buying process can be extremely stressful and confusing, financial disaster or disappointments can be avoided or minimized if you know the true condition of the home.  Our Certified Home Inspection will identify hidden or intentionally concealed problems, offer solutions, and give cost estimates for major repairs and replacements when appropriate. Our Tampa Home Inspector's thorough and comprehensive, computer generated report, with digital imagery offers the crucial information a buyer needs to make his or her own decisions about accepting or declining the seller's offer. This Certified ASHI Home Inspection Report will empower the buyer with knowledge and information to re-negotiate price, ask for repairs prior to closing, or build in an allowance for the buyer to make repairs. These allowances for correcting deficiencies usually far exceeds the cost of an inspection. We guarantee the satisfaction of our home buying clients!!!

Experience is What you Need. It is important to find a Certified ASHI Home Inspector in the Tampa Bay area that is aware of the sometimes-unique building and remodeling practices found in Florida. This is especially true in homes built here in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Quite often they have been remodeled over the years by the homeowners themselves, by "Handy Men" (un-licensed contractors), or otherwise had significant work done without required permits. We see many examples of room additions that started out as patios, carports or garages, altered to become enclosed "Florida Rooms", bedrooms, bathrooms or other full "liveable" room space. In many cases it was discovered that there was no consideration regarding foundations, roof support, slab thickness, electrical needs, insulation or flashing details. Concrete slabs of patios, carports and garages are never the same elevation as the existing structure foundation, which usually results in water intrusion when recognized construction practices are not followed...and they often are not. In recent decades, the supply & demand imbalance of knowledgeable construction workers in Florida has resulted in significant problems with improperly installed siding and roof flashings. Resulting water intrusion and deterioration may not become apparent for quite some time, which is why you should choose only an ASHI Certified Home Inspector who is also Certified by the International Code Council (ICC) in Building Structural, Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing.

How Long Does a Thorough Inspection Last? - Our home inspections in Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough and Hernando counties generally last 3 to 4 hours, though often much more for larger, complex stuctures. Our inspections take a little longer than many within the industry; however, Buyer's Choice Home Inspection believes that our clients deserve the extraordinary attention to detail that our home inspectors provide at every inspection. We strongly encourage all of our clients to accompany us during the inspection. You should feel free to ask the inspector any questions you may have during the examination process. The inspector will point out problems and explain them to you. The inspector will also show you the good points of the house as well. Plus, we will explain what routine maintenance is needed to keep the house in top condition. This will help you to get the most benefit from the inspection and gain the most understanding of the systems that make up your home, and how to maintain it.

Scheduling Your Home Inspection - Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando and Hillsborough county home buyers are often limited from 5 to 10 days to get a home inspection. We highly recommend that you schedule it as quickly as possible. Often times you may need to obtain quotes or bids from specialized contractors as a result of our findings. This will also take additional time, so don't put yourself in a situation of having to rush, which is never a good idea. Because timeliness is important, we can usually schedule your real estate inspection within 5 to 7 days of your call, but if you were to wait several days after the effective date of your contract, you may find it very difficult to find a "top tier inspector". We perform home inspections 7 days a week when necessary, but last minute inspection requests are sometimes impossible to accommodate. Our service area includes not only Wesley Chapel and Land O' Lakes, but all of Pasco county, Pinellas county, Hillsborough county and Hernando county. Call us now at (813)263-4753, or Email us with your questions.

How Much Will The Home Inspection Cost? - The price will vary based on the size and age of the structure, and a few other factors. An exact inspection fee will be quoted when you call. We are price competitive with other "Top Tier" certified inspectors in the Tampa area. We will beat any quoted inspection fee from any home inspection company, as long as the inspector performing the inspection is a Certified Inspector of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), Registered Professional Inspector with the Florida Association of Building Inspectors (FABI), and ICC code certified as a Residential Combination Inspector. Call us for an immediate quote, or Email us with the property address and we will contact you ASAP.
