Our Services
HOME INSPECTION
A comprehensive roof to foundation evaluation of the current condition of the structure. This includes an assessment of structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC components. Price structure is based on size under roof, with add-ons including pools, docks, crawlspace foundations, and outbuildings.
NEW CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS
Comprehensive start-to-finish inspections include: Pre-Slab pour (all under concrete mechanicals and footings), Pre-Drywall (framing, windows/doors, and mechanicals), Final (pre closing), and 11 Month Warranty inspections. Bundled packages are available at a discount.
4 - POINT & WIND MITIGATION
4 - Point and Wind Mitigation inspections are often a requirement for obtaining Home Owner's Insurance. A 4 Point Insurance inspection is generally requested by insurers when the home is 10 years old or older. It provides a current condition snap shot of four critical concerns. A Wind Mitigation 1802 is an assessment of the structural storm resistance of the home and can be used to reduce an insurance premium of the home. Wind Mitigations are valid for 5 years.
WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISM INSPECTION
A thorough inspection for those pesky creatures and microbes that can destroy a home, such as subterranean termites, drywood termites, Old House Borer Beetles, Powder Post Beetles, and wood destroying fungi. Our WDO reports are completed by our associated pest control company and not by GMI, in strict compliance with FDACS rules and regulations.
NEW: New Construction Blue Tape Walk-through
Our newly-added service goes the extra mile. After the New Construction Final Inspection concludes, we will walk together through your new construction home, room by room, and identify all cosmetic flaws that need to be addressed.
This will include identifying all minor and cosmetic flaws using blue or green painter's tape prior to your builder's final touch-up.
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
Critical environmental sampling and lab services include: Water analysis, mold air and surface, lead testing, and Chinese Drywall Report. Know the environment inside your home by scheduling these important services.
Stucco Moisture Evaluation
Our service includes an average of 5 probed locations, along with a complete visual evaluation of the stucco exterior cladding. Areas tested can be adjusted, according to suitability.
Common locations probed include known problematic areas, such as under kick-out flashings and at window corners. Each location requires drilling two 3/16" holes, spaced at 2". This allows an accurate reading behind the stucco. Drill holes are then sealed with high quality paintable sealants and covered with stucco repair.
HUD Compliance Certifications of Manufactured Homes
Anytime a lender is doing a federally-backed loan on an existing manufacture home which is located on its own site (Not a rented parcel), the lender must have an engineer certify the foundation system as being HUD compliant. With FHA loans, the additions must also be certified (not the addition itself but that the addition doesn’t adversely affect the structural integrity of the home.) Many lenders are requiring these certifications for conventional loans addition to FHA and VA.
Commercial Property Inspection
Commercial Inspections include multi-family housing (Quadplex and above), retail properties, restaurants, and professional offices. Commercial inspections will aid in providing an investor with a snapshot of the condition of the property.
