About Us

The home inspection is intended to assist you in evaluating the overall quality and general condition of the building and its components.

Any area that is not exposed to view is concealed or is inaccessible because of soil, walls, floors, floor coverings, ceilings, furniture, equipment or stored items. The inspection does not include any destructive testing or dismantling. Client agrees to assume all risk for all conditions, which are concealed from view at the time of inspection. If a defect is hidden under to behind furnishings or inside walls or is buried, it is impossible for the inspector to locate the defect. This is not a home warranty, guarantee, insurance policy or substitute for real estate transfer disclosures which may be required.
‍
Codes: The inspector does not inspect for compliance with building codes for two reasons. First, this is the jurisdiction of the municipality where the property is located. The municipality is responsible for ensuring that buildings are constructed according to standards for health and safety. Second, building codes constantly change, and codes in force when the house was built may not be current. It is impossible for an inspector to know all codes for all municipalities. The property may not meet the present code but may have been acceptable under the codes effect when the structure was built. The method allowing the old codes is referred to as grandfathering.

The inspection findings will be limited in scope and based upon the visible and apparent condition of the systems and components of the building at the time of the inspection. Liability for error and omissions to HIS Home Inspect Services or inspector for this inspection and report is limited to a refund of the fee paid for this inspection and report. Client assumes all risk of all losses greater than the fee paid for this inspection and report.

The Florida Home Inspector Law states that: “A home inspector is not required to provide estimates related to the cost of repair of an inspected property”. Estimates for repair costs are made on courtesy basis if requested and are to be used only as a guide and are based on approximate current rates of professional licensed contractors. The customer should determine the actual cost of repairs before closing. We strongly recommend that you obtain written estimates from at least 2 to 3 different licensed contractors and do not rely exclusively on these estimates. One should consider worst case scenarios since many of these estimates are based on fact finding. This means they can be upgraded upwards in the event other issues are found during the work.

Pictures do not represent all the problems found during the home inspection. They are intended for the client to get a visual and understanding on certain items or items that are usually not visible like rooftop, attic, and crawl space. Please read the complete report and feel free to call if you have questions.

We do not accept liability for any hidden defects that was enclosed, inaccessible or concealed by soil, walls, ceilings, floor coverings, furniture, equipment, stored articles, or problems that may occur in the future.
