Every inspection
Florida buyers
actually need.
Each service is a dedicated specialty, not a checkbox. Wind Mitigation and 4-Point reports use Florida's standard state forms. Mold and infrared scans are paired with moisture mapping. Sewer scopes are recorded with distance markers. You receive a complete digital report (with photos and a Repair Request Builder for your agent) within 24 hours of the inspection.

What other inspectors miss,
infrared finds.
Hidden moisture. Overheating breakers. Missing insulation. HVAC duct leaks. None of it shows up on a flashlight; all of it shows up on a calibrated thermal camera. Joanna is a Certified Thermographer, and a full thermal imaging scan is available as a $250 add-on to any inspection.

Brand-new doesn't mean
defect-free.
Builders move fast, and the final punch list is the first thing that slips. On this 2026 new-construction walk-through, every blue tag marks something we flagged for the buyer to fix before closing — flooring, interior doors, cabinetry. New-construction inspections start at $500.

"Joanna spent nearly four hours walking me through every system of the house and explaining what I was looking at. The report was in my inbox the next morning with photos for everything she had pointed out. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
"The Wind Mit Joanna did paid for itself five times over in the first year of insurance premiums. She walked me through the exact features that qualified and what would unlock more savings later."
"We had a musty smell after Hurricane Milton and Joanna came out, did air sampling, and used her infrared camera to find the source: a slow roof leak we couldn't see. Fast, thorough, and honest about what we did and didn't need."
"Joanna scoped the line on a 1985 home we were under contract on and found a cracked section. The seller credited us $4,500 at closing. The scope cost us $300. Best inspection money I have ever spent."
"Needed a 4-point fast to renew our policy. Joanna scheduled us within two days, did the inspection in under an hour, and our insurance agent had the report on file the same evening."
"She found a hot breaker on her infrared scan that had not been flagged by the electrician who had checked the panel the year before. We replaced it on her recommendation and avoided what could have been a fire. The infrared comes standard with her full inspection. Incredible value."
