Home Inspections

The purchase of a home is the single largest investment that the majority of Americans make. A Home Inspection will cost less than a quarter of a percent of the purchase price of a home and will often find enough small issues to allow you to negotiate a reduction in price several times more than the cost of the inspection. The Home Inspection is a win-win for the home buyer. If the Home Inspector finds nothing significantly wrong with the house, the buyer can proceed with the purchase with peace of mind and wins. If the Home Inspection finds something significantly wrong with the house, the buyer can back away or negotiate a price reduction to account for the issues. The Buyer wins again.

The CIS Home Inspector takes photographs during the inspection and then using a computer software package, prepares an extensive report with his findings. CIS provides Home Inspections in most of Florida: call us to see if your area is covered.

Based on accessibility, the CIS Home Inspector will inspect the following:

  • Outside of the home
  • Crawl space and foundation
  • Roof
  • Landscaping
  • Sprinkler system
  • Driveway
  • Pool enclosure
  • Exterior doors and locks

  • Heating and air conditioning
  • Windows
  • Plumbing fixtures
  • Appliances
  • Smoke alarms
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Carpets, tile and flooring
  • Attic
  • Attic ventilation
  • Insulation
