 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whitt home inspection was the best money I've spent for a complete and thorough inspection. The inspection report was so comprehensive and informative, which really help me make an informed decision about the condition of the property. There is an old saying and it goes, "beauty is skin deep but ugly...ugly is to the bone". This applies to homes as well and I appreciate knowing what I don't know. Knowing the ugly is more important than the beauty that you see. I will definitely use Whitt Home Inspection again.

Extremely professional and goes the extra mile to make sure you understand the house/property you are purchasing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Stephen and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. As a meticulous and detail-oriented individual, Stephen brought a level of precision and thoroughness to the inspection process that was truly impressive. He demonstrated a keen eye for detail, meticulously scouring every nook and cranny of the property to identify even the smallest issues. His fastidious nature was evident in every aspect of the inspection, from the initial walk-through to the final report. It's clear that he takes pride in his work and strives for perfection, which is a testament to his exceptional work ethic. What really stood out, however, was his availability and willingness to accommodate our needs. Whenever we had questions or concerns, Stephen was always just a phone call away, ready to provide guidance and advice. His responsiveness was impeccable, and he never hesitated to revisit the property to address any additional concerns we may have had. His meticulous approach, combined with his exceptional communication skills, made the entire process surprisingly stress-free. He took the time to explain his findings, providing us with a comprehensive understanding of the property's condition and offering valuable advice on how to address any issues that arose. In short, Stephen is a consummate professional who embodies the qualities of a true perfectionist. His meticulous attention to detail, combined with his exceptional customer service skills, make him the gold standard for home inspectors. If you're looking for a thorough and reliable inspection, look no further than Stephen. He's a true asset to the industry, and we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him. If you're in need of a home inspector who is meticulous, thorough, and dedicated to providing exceptional service, look no further than Stephen. He's a true professional who will exceed your expectations and provide you with the peace of mind that comes with knowing you've made an informed decision.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional, Honest, Caring & Attentive to detail... What else could you ask for in a Home Inspector? Stephen checked all those marks and completely surpassed our expectations. He was able to squeeze us into his busy schedule during this crazy hot real-estate market in Florida and made everything so smooth and streamlined (with us purchasing our home remotely from Texas). He kept us aware of the entire process and was a pleasure to work with. The inspection report came back super quickly and was very detailed; it included photos, recommendations, life expectancies and so much more information. Thanks to his detailed reports, the home sellers had to make some last minute repairs to the house that helped ensured our family resided in a safe home before we moved in. We were also able to save a few hundred dollars on our homeowners insurance because of the Windstorm Mitigation report he suggested. He recommended us a local company to do a termite inspection and took care of setting up the appointment with them to coordinate with his inspection date and time he had already set up with the sellers to avoid too much disruption on them (made sure both parties were happy at all times, us and the sellers) which can sometimes be hard to achieve. We couldn't be more happy with an Inspector and Inspection company like Steven & Whitt Inspections. They have gone above and beyond and we will surely recommend them to everyone we know. Best decision we ever made in our home purchasing process, as we now have true peace of mind for years to come. Thanks for everything Stephen!

Home Inspection FAQs

What are the benefits of a pre-listing inspection?

If you’re wondering whether or not a pre-listing inspection is worth the cost, since the buyer will usually want to get their own inspection anyway, there are several advantages to consider. By learning the condition of your home before putting it on the market, you can make the repairs needed to increase the value of your home and attract confident buyers. A pre-listing inspection also reduces the risk of unpleasant surprises that can come up during what would have otherwise been a smooth transaction. If you want to increase buyer confidence, decrease stress, and ensure that you get the most for your home, a pre-listing home inspection is a great choice.

What is a wind mitigation inspection?

A wind mitigation inspection is a type of home inspection in Florida that focuses on features of the home that can help prevent serious structural damage due to high winds from hurricanes and other storms. The elements of your home that an inspector will focus on during a wind mitigation inspection are water barriers, roof-to-foundation anchoring, and storm windows.

How much does a home inspection cost in Florida?

The average cost of a home inspection in Florida is $302, with a typical range of $254-$374. For a very small home, you might pay as little as $124, while a very large home may cost as much as $1,000+ for an inspection. As with any other purchase, you get what you pay for. So if you hire a cheap, inexperienced home inspector and they miss a major issue, you could end up paying a lot more in the long run.

Do I need a pool/spa inspection?

Pools and spas are expensive to maintain, so if you’re buying a house that comes with one you’ll want to make sure you understand the condition of it before closing the deal. Although this type of inspection is an additional cost to the already expensive price of buying a home, it can save you thousands of dollars in the long run and could even be used to renegotiate a lower price on the home if the inspector finds considerable damage. Even if the pool/spa inspection comes back perfect and everything is in proper working order, you’ll have the peace of mind that your family can enjoy it safely and you don’t need to worry about any costly repairs in the near future.

What is a four-point inspection?

If you are purchasing an older home in the state of Florida, a four-point inspection is usually required to qualify for homeowner’s insurance. A four-point inspection focuses on these 4 areas of the home:

Roof
Plumbing
HVAC
Electrical

What’s included in a home inspection?

Home inspectors follow a checklist of the main components that are needed for every home to function properly and safely. These are some of the uniform inclusions certified inspectors check out:

Structure of the property – specifically its foundation (checks sticking windows, sloping floors, leaning or cracked walls, etc.)
Safety in terms of fire alarms, electrical and stairs
Drainage systems and water leakage
Condition of the property perimeter. Specifically grading and erosion
The general condition of floors, ceilings, and walls
Cooling and heating systems
Electrical systems
Plumbing systems
Roofing, gutters, and vent system
Electrical outlets
Attics and basements/crawlspaces
Interior plumbing (checks water temperatures, toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers)
Light fixtures (if they’re in working order)
Major built-in appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, range, washer, and dryer)

In a standard, general home inspection, you can’t expect everything to be covered. Home inspections are not technically exhaustive, and they often don’t cover cosmetic concerns. It’s a visual inspection so if the issue is hidden, it might not be found. This is especially true if the home is occupied, as personal items are not moved.

What is an irrigation inspection?

An irrigation inspection is a full inspection of a home’s sprinkler system and the components that make it up. Since the majority of a sprinkler system is located underground, your inspector will not be digging up the yard to look at the underground components. Since Florida has year-round warm weather, many homes have irrigation systems that are always running – which can take a toll on the system. So it is important to get an irrigation inspection before purchasing a home to make sure that it is still in good condition and your yard will stay lush and healthy year-round!

What’s the difference between a home inspection and an appraisal?

A home inspection comes shortly after you get an offer accepted. This is an independent 3rd party that you hire to inspect the home’s major systems and components. A home appraisal comes once you are past the home inspection and loan acceptance phases. Your lender outsources this to determine the value of the home, as compared to recent sales. This gives them the confidence to provide you with the loan at the current valuation. At the end of the day, you shouldn’t really be comparing home inspections vs. appraisals. They are both essential to make sure your investment is a solid one.
