With everyone working hard to limit the spread and exposure of COVID-19, we understand attending a final "walk through" prior to closing may be difficult and stressful for out-of-town buyers and those who are currently practicing self-quarantine/social distancing. To alleviate some of this stress, we will perform a live virtual/video walk through of the home with the buyer, so they can see the home's condition, ask questions, and be comfortable closing. This service can be order with a full home inspection or as a stand alone service. This service will include:

 We understand that with the new regulations and mandates, it maybe confusing as to what this means for Real Estate and related services. Here is what we know...The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under Homeland Security has identified several businesses and services which they consider to be "essential" in order to secure critical infrastructure within our nation. Included in this advisory list "Residential and commercial real estate services, including settlement services" are considered essential services.
On April 1, 2020 Governor DeSantis said that the state of Florida will abide by the list outlined by the Department of Homeland Security during the "Stay at Home" order. (For more information on DeSantis' order click here.) Hope Home Inspections provides a real estate service and will continue to provide inspections and other services for Realtors and customers during the "Stay at Home" order. We will continue to take extra precautions while at properties (use disposable gloves, masks, etc) and practice social distancing to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19. We can also provide visual/video walk-throughs of properties if customers or agents are unable or uncomfortable being at the property. Please call our office at 941-773-1144 for details.
In an effort to minimize the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) we have the following protocols in place:
Your business is important to us and if there is anything we can do to improve these protocols or assist you in anyway during this difficult time, please let us know.

Know what you are buying and be confident in your home purchase..BUILDERS & CODE INSPECTORS DON'T FIND EVERYTHING...
1 - Missing insulation in portions of attic and other areas
2 - Incorrectly wired electrical outlets
9 - Slab lippage, where the slab extends beyond the exterior wall
10 - Garage door safety function not working properly
(That you won’t see, and Sellers often don’t know exist)When you are searching for a new home you aren’t climbing on the roof or through the attic or checking that all the appliances and electrical outlets work. But our inspectors check more than 300+ items in a typical home. Below are just a few of the issues that we often find during an inspection. Many of which a home owner living in the house didn’t even know were a problem. 1. Torn Duct Work in attic- Repairing or replacing the ducts can be costly but this problem can cause higher energy bills, overwork the system, distribute debris/dust from attic into home and clog up the filter.
Mobile homes receive the same thorough and detailed inspection as our standard home inspection. However, with mobile homes we also provide a specialty crawlspace inspection. Additionally, we include a FREE infrared inspection of the interior of the home. Items examined during crawlspace inspection:
Save valuable time,
After a home inspection, often agents or buyers spend hours scheduling contractors, gathering quotes for repairs and sometimes renegotiating the sale price. We understand this can be stressful and even jeopardize the home purchase.
We can provide actual repair costs for deficiencies found from a national company which guarantee the price for Here's how it works:
Products and materials present in our homes are constantly emitting chemicals, called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCS) into the air. Exposure to VOCs can cause numerous health issues, from headaches and nausea to respiratory and digestive irritation to asthma exacerbation. Hope Home Inspections wants to ensure that homes are in good working condition and safe for our customers. That is why we have invested in the equipment to provide indoor air quality tests that will give you a total assessment of the air in your new home. IF THERE WERE A WAY TO ENSURE YOU ARE BREATHING HEALTHY AIR IN YOUR HOME, WOULDN’T YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT?  To schedule your VOC testing please call our office at 941-773-1144
Active leaks not only cause high-water usage bills, but can also create a great deal of damage to your home, which can cost you thousands in repair expenses. A vast majority of leaks occur at or near plumbing fixtures like toilets and sinks, but sometimes leaks can be hidden deep within the walls of your home. As a home owner it is very important to know the signs of a potential water leak. Listed below are some signs to help you determine if you have a potential water issue:
