Don’t let hidden property defects turn your dream home into a financial burden. Coastal Home Inspectors delivers a comprehensive structural and mechanical evaluation of your Southwest Florida property, backed by advanced thermal imaging.

Comprehensive Protection

Buy Your Southwest Florida Home with Absolute Confidence

A real estate purchase is one of the largest investments you will ever make. Our full home inspection gives you the clarity you need to negotiate fairly and buy securely.

At Coastal Home Inspectors, we look beyond the fresh paint and staging. Our licensed home inspector performs a rigorous visual evaluation of the property from the roof ridge down to the foundation. We strictly adhere to the highest InterNACHI Standards of Practice, ensuring that we check every major system and accessible component of the house.

Whether you are purchasing a sprawling waterfront estate, a suburban family house, or a seasonal condo, we uncover hidden safety hazards, structural issues, and deferred maintenance before you sign the final paperwork.

Our Inspection Checklist

What is Included in Your Full Home Inspection?

We examine hundreds of components during a standard property inspection. Here are the primary areas we evaluate for safety, function, and longevity:

Roofing & Attic Structure

We inspect the roof covering, flashings, valleys, gutters, and downspouts. Inside the attic, we check the framing, insulation levels, and proper ventilation to prevent heat and moisture buildup.

Exterior & Foundation

We examine the siding, stucco, trim, exterior doors, windows, decks, porches, and walkways. We analyze the visible foundation for cracks, settlement, and proper drainage grading.

Electrical Systems

Our inspector checks the main service panels, circuit breakers, wiring types, grounding, and a representative number of interior and exterior light fixtures and outlets (including GFCI protection).

Heating & Cooling (HVAC)

The Florida heat puts immense strain on air conditioning units. We test the operation of the cooling system, check the thermostat, inspect the air handler, and evaluate ductwork condition.

Plumbing Systems

We test interior water supply lines, faucets, fixtures, drains, waste pumps, and water heating equipment. We actively search for active leaks and signs of hidden moisture intrusion.

Interior Spaces & Appliances

We evaluate walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, and railings. We also operate the built-in kitchen appliances to verify basic function.

Advanced Technology

We See What Others Miss with Infrared Thermal Imaging

Standard visual inspections can miss problems hidden deep inside walls and ceilings. We include infrared technology with every full home inspection at no extra charge.

Our advanced thermal imaging cameras detect subtle temperature differences across surfaces. This non-invasive technology allows us to pinpoint hidden moisture intrusion from plumbing leaks, missing or displaced insulation, overheated electrical circuits, and structural framing anomalies without tearing into drywall. Finding moisture early is the best protection against costly post-closing surprises.
