ORLANDO FLORIDA HOME INSPECTION

     jose argurta 001.png  p1040543.png

* The purchase of a home is probably one of the single largest investments you will ever make. You should be as informed and educated as you possibly can when considering a home purchase. And a home purchase inspection can provide that education. Also, the FHA, HUD and the VA, as well as many other mortgage lenders, recommend that a home inspection be performed by a Certified Home Inspector of Florida. Dexaco performs home inspections in Orlando and surrounding cities.

* A home inspection lets you know the condition of the property as well as identifies the need for any repairs before you buy, so that you can make an informed real estate purchasing decision. A home inspection also informs the buyer of the positive aspects of the home, as well as any maintenance that may be recommended to keep the house in good shape and to keep all major systems operating smoothly. After the home inspection, you will have a much better understanding of the property you intend to purchase. 

* A real estate inspection is also valuable for homeowners for identifying any potential problems that may need tending to, as well as for learning preventive maintenance measures to help avoid any costly future repairs. If you intend to put your house on the market, a sellers home inspection could identify items that would be called out on a buyer's inspection, which allows you to be proactive in making repairs, thereby your house in a more sellable position.

A complete home inspection is conducted upon completion of the home, and is generally before the contract between the buyer and seller is finalized. On new construction, it is recommended that the property inspection be conducted just before the walk-through with the builder.

New Construction Inspections

Are you building a custom home and want to make sure it is being built correctly right from the start? The Dexaco Certified Home Inspector performs progress inspections during the foundation, framing inspection progress of the home building process and final walk-thru inspection in all surrounding cities. The foundation inspection is prior to pouring any concrete, framing  inspection stage takes place just before the drywall is installed in the home. A construction phase inspection is a structural analysis ascertaining that all load bearing and framing components were properly installed. The inspection certifies that the home is structurally sound and compliant with building code standards. The process also includes an examination of the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins for code compliance.

Our new construction services range from a basic “punch-out” inspection (the final walk through before taking occupancy) to a thorough final inspection. Many homebuyers have used our expertise as builders to supervise demolition, slab pour, framing, pre-drywall, plumbing, electrical, and the final “punch-out”. So many homes are being built here so quickly, you need someone looking out for your investment while it’s in the process of being built, before problems are hidden. You can choose the right plan for you and how often we inspect your home. Our job is to make sure your “dream home” does not become a nightmare.

The Home Inspection Report

After completion of the final inspection, we produce a computer generated inspection report, 30-50 page report for the complete home inspection. The report includes a detailed report analysis of the home, digital photographs for visual display of all problem areas (upon request of the client) and homeowner maintenance tips. Additional copies of the completed inspection report can be faxed or e-mailed at no extra charge.

Reinspections

Once you have a home inspection done, we are available to come back at a reduced rate ($150.00) to make sure home repairs were properly made. This helps you to ascertain that items noted in the inspection report were repaired correctly and according to current codes. Reinspections help you to further protect your investment and your home from future damage resulting from improper repairs.

One Year Warranty Inspection

The sale of a home typically includes a one year warranty in which the builder will correct any problems encountered within the first year of ownership of a new home.It is wise to have an inspection conducted shortly before (about the 11th month) the one year warranty expires, so you will know what to have the builder correct. Don't get stuck with those home maintenance bills later! Have your home inspected by a certifies home inspector before the warranty runs out.
