INSPECTION SERVICES

Pre-Purchase Home Inspections

 

Make your home purchase with confidence. Our comprehensive pre-purchase inspections evaluate the home’s major systems and components, including the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, exterior, attic, and more. You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand digital report outlining the condition of the property and identifying defects or concerns discovered during the inspection.

 

Pre-Listing Home Inspections

 

Get ahead of surprises before your home hits the market. A pre-listing inspection provides sellers with a better understanding of their home’s condition before potential buyers conduct their own inspection. Identifying concerns early gives you the opportunity to make repairs, obtain estimates, or simply be prepared for potential negotiations—helping create a smoother and more confident selling process.

 

11-Month Warranty Inspections

 

Your builder’s warranty may be approaching its expiration—but hidden or developing issues can become your responsibility afterward. An 11-month warranty inspection is designed for new-construction homeowners nearing the end of their first year of ownership. We evaluate the home for visible defects, installation concerns, and other issues that may have developed since construction, giving you a detailed report to provide to your builder before applicable warranty coverage expires.

 

4-Point Inspections

 

A 4-point inspection evaluates the four major systems insurance companies are most concerned with: roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. These inspections are commonly requested when obtaining or renewing homeowners insurance in Florida. We document the condition, age, and visible characteristics of these systems and provide the completed inspection report needed for your insurance provider.

 

Wind Mitigation Inspections

 

A wind mitigation inspection identifies construction features that may help your home withstand high winds and hurricanes. We evaluate qualifying features such as the roof covering, roof-to-wall connections, roof deck attachment, roof geometry, and opening protection. The completed report can be submitted to your insurance provider and may help you qualify for homeowners insurance discounts.

 

Mold Assessment & Indoor Air Quality Testing

 

Concerned about mold or indoor air quality? As a Florida-licensed mold assessment company, JBH Home Inspections can evaluate areas of concern, investigate conditions that may contribute to mold growth, and perform professional air and/or surface sampling when appropriate. Samples are analyzed by a laboratory to help identify and quantify mold present in the indoor environment. Our goal is to provide clear information about what was found and help determine the appropriate next steps.

 

Water Quality Testing

 

Know what’s in your water. We offer professional water quality sampling for homes with private wells and other situations where water testing is needed. Available testing can evaluate for common contaminants and bacteria, with samples submitted to a qualified laboratory for analysis. Testing options are also available for FHA and VA loan requirements when applicable.

 

Manufactured Home Foundation & Addition Certifications

 

Buying, selling, or refinancing a manufactured home? We can coordinate the required foundation and/or addition certification to help satisfy applicable lender or HUD-related requirements. The foundation and attached additions are evaluated by a qualified professional, and the appropriate engineering documentation is provided when requirements are met.
