How to schedule a home inspection

There is no wrong way to reach us, but there is a fastest one. When you’re under contract, the clock on your
inspection period is the thing that matters most, so the quickest path to schedule a home inspection
is simply to call (407) 383-9118. A short conversation confirms the property is in the
service area, pins down which inspection you need, and locks a time — usually in a single
call. Prefer to put it in writing? The request form below reaches the same place.

• Call (407) 383-9118 — the fastest way to schedule a home inspection and get an immediate answer on timing.
• Email FHI-expert@florida-home-inspector.com with the address and service.
• Use the form below — it opens a request and, if anything fails, falls back to a pre-filled email so nothing is lost.

What to include when you reach out

A few details up front let us confirm a time on the first call instead of trading messages. Have these ready to
schedule a home inspection without back-and-forth:

• Property address — so coverage and drive time can be confirmed.
• Type of inspection — full home, 4-point, wind mitigation, or roof certification.
• Your timeline — contract date, inspection-period deadline, or target closing.
• Best contact info — the phone and email where a quick confirmation reaches you.
• Access notes — gate codes, tenants, pets, or a lockbox, if any apply.

What happens after you submit

Sending a request doesn’t drop your note into a void. Here’s exactly what follows when you schedule a home
inspection through this page:

• Your request is received the moment you send it — by form, email, or phone.
• You get a prompt call back to confirm scope, coverage for the address, and a time.
• Your time is locked and any access details are sorted out.
• The inspection is performed, and you’re welcome to attend the walkthrough.
• A written, photo-documented report follows so you can act with real information.

Because the form falls back to a pre-filled email if the network ever hiccups, a lead is never silently lost — you’ll
always have a way to reach a licensed inspector. Your consent to be contacted is entirely yours: you
give it on the form, and you can withdraw it at any time.

Which inspection should I schedule?

Not sure which service you need? That’s a normal question, and you don’t have to solve it before you call — describing
your situation in a sentence is usually enough for us to point you to the right one. Here’s a plain-English guide to
what buyers and homeowners most often schedule, so you can walk into the call informed.

Full home inspection

This is the standard pre-purchase inspection, and it’s what most buyers under contract schedule. It’s a top-to-bottom
visual assessment of the home’s accessible systems — roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and
the many smaller components in between. If you’re buying and you want one honest read on the overall condition before
your inspection period closes, this is the one to schedule a home inspection around. It typically runs two to three
hours depending on the size and age of the home, and it ends with a written, photo-documented report.

4-point inspection

A 4-point looks specifically at four systems — roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC — and exists mainly to satisfy
insurance underwriting on older homes. Many Florida insurers require one before they’ll write or renew
a policy on a home past a certain age. If your insurance agent asked for a 4-point, that’s exactly what to schedule.
It’s a shorter, more focused visit than a full inspection, and the form is completed the way underwriters expect to
see it.

Wind mitigation inspection

A wind mitigation inspection documents the features of a home that help it resist windstorm damage — roof shape, roof
covering, roof-to-wall connections, and secondary water resistance, recorded on the state’s OIR-B1-1802 form. It isn’t
about finding problems; it’s about capturing the credits you may already be entitled to, which can lower a windstorm
premium. If you’re insuring or re-insuring a Florida home, it’s often worth scheduling alongside the 4-point.

Roof certification & condition

Sometimes an insurer or lender wants a focused opinion on the roof alone — its age, its condition, and
roughly how much serviceable life remains. Because this assessment comes from a state-certified roofing contractor
(CCC1327217), it carries the weight of a roofer’s judgment rather than a guess from the ground. If the roof is the
open question on your deal or your policy, this is what to schedule.

Property preservation

For servicers, asset managers, and investors holding vacant or REO property, documented, audit-ready preservation work
is available across the same Central Florida footprint. If that’s your world, mention it on the call and we’ll scope
it accordingly.

Service overview

One licensed professional (HI4878) covers the full range of what a Central Florida buyer, homeowner, or servicer
tends to need. Read the details on the home inspection page, verify the
credentials, or learn more about the practice and the
inspector’s background before you book. Whichever service fits, the standard behind it is the same:
a straight answer from someone who has built and repaired the systems he inspects.

Under contract? Don’t wait to schedule

The single most common regret buyers share is waiting too long to book. Your inspection period is a fixed window, and
it’s the leverage you have to renegotiate or walk away based on what the inspection finds. Spend the first day or two
of it, not the last, so there’s time to schedule a home inspection, read the report carefully, and act on it without
racing a deadline. A house isn’t going anywhere in the time it takes to inspect it properly — but your inspection
period is, and once it closes, the findings that could have protected you no longer carry the same weight.

If you’re not under contract yet and just want the roof or a system checked before you make an offer, that’s welcome
too. Sellers who’d rather find and fix an issue before listing schedule inspections as well, and there’s real wisdom in
it — the problem you find yourself is a line item you control, while the one a buyer’s inspector finds becomes a
negotiation you don’t. Whatever stage you’re at, a quick call sorts out the right timing honestly, with no pressure
and no manufactured urgency — just a straight answer about when an inspection makes sense for your situation, and the
honest scheduling reality for the specific property address you have in mind.
