Home Inspections in Sarasota FAQ
Home Inspections in Sarasota County, Manatee and Lee Counties
What do Home Inspectors look for?
Home Inspectors follow a guideline when inspecting a home, here is a helpful link: NACHI's Residential Scope ( this link is very helpful and detailed on what and what should not be inspected, plus certain guidelines followed by Home Inspectors)
Not all Home Inspectors are created equal.
In Florida there is no testing requirements to become an inspector. This means anyone without experience can qualify to inspect your home. Scary, right. Also most Home Inspectors do not carry Liability Insurance. This means if a oversight is made on a property by and individual and a structural component fails on the home you purchased, there is no recourse on the individual. Always hiring an Inspector that carries Liability Insurance. I carry liability for my Remodeling firm and for Inspections, just makes sense. I am also a Licensed General Contractor through the State of Florida. This helps for knowledge knowing what to look for and spot future problems.
What is Chinese Drywall and where to look for it?
Chinese Drywall was introduced to Florida during the shortage of Gypsum products a few years back. Knauf is the company who introduced this product to Florida. Great link to learn more about Chinese Drywall.
