Before purchasing a house in the Greater Orlando or Central Florida area we will evaluate the property for defects & deficiencies. All of our inspections provide an extremely detailed and accurate inspection report, written on the computer including digital photos of the defects.

We perform all inspections with the latest state-of-the-art testing equipment and will provide a conclusive overview of the existing structure. We will check all of the specialized features in your home. You will feel assured, after leaving the inspection, whether or not to go ahead with the purchase.

There are as many as 20 different subcontracts who will work on your home during the construction phase. Sometimes changes or modifications are made without the benefit of having them reviewed by the builder’s representative, and these changes or modification may create hazardous construction defects.

The Central Florida area has a limited number of municipal building inspectors, and each inspector typically performs 20 inspections per day, spending as little as 15 minutes on your property.

The Florida climate is hard on new construction. Rain, ground water and humidity can invade your new construction during the build process leaving your foundation, drywall, insulation and other features susceptible to water damage, mold and many other dangers.

After buying a new home most home builders offer a warranty on their houses covering most issues for up to a year. We here at CFBI can perform a comprehensive and detailed home inspection on your house to determine any issues that should be addressed by the builder prior to the end of the warranty. This is your last chance to have the builder pay for any repairs on your home or lingering issues not handled during the construction phase. We will inspect your home from top to bottom and will identify the issues and create a detailed home inspection report that can be handed over to the builder. All home inspections include thermal imaging (infrared scan) to ensure the unseen is also inspected!

We also offer reinspection services for a discounted price to ensure the builder has corrected any issues found during this 1-year warranty home inspection. Call our office today to obtain pricing and get more information on our new home construction and warranty inspection services.

The goal of a commercial inspection is to provide the client with the information they need to enter transaction negotiation with as much power in their possession as possible. In negotiation, knowledge and documentation are power. Gathering them is the process of due diligence.

The due diligence provided by commercial inspectors will vary, sometimes substantially, with the nature of the transaction. Variables may include building age, type, use or location. Although the client must make the final decision on what services will be supplied, the expertise of the inspector in providing advice and insight may be crucial. Background for providing this advice may require a preliminary inspection by the inspector, the inspector’s sub-contractors and sometimes the building’s maintenance personnel.

We here at CFBI will perform a visual commercial property inspection covering many areas of the building including:

A detailed inspection report will be issued with our findings including recommendations and suggestions for moving forward. We carefully craft the report to highlight and summarize the main issues while also noting items for regular maintenance to help keep the building in optimal condition. Complete understanding and documentation of your commercial property is our top priority!

Here are CFBI, we believe in going the extra mile to ensure the highest-quality inspection. We have state-of-the art drones for inspecting roofs and building exteriors that are either too high or unsafe to walk on. Also, some tile roofs are too unsafe to walk on because of the type of material (clay, slate or thin concrete tiles) or from slippery conditions due to moisture and algae growth. Some roofs are only accessible at the 2nd story level which would require a 30′ ladder. Most inspectors do not have this type of ladder and simply inspect the roof from the ground with binoculars. While this is a decent substitute, a drone will have the capability of flying and recording the actual condition of the roof covering as if we were walking on the surface.

The drone we use, a DJI Mavic Pro, is top-of-the-line and can photograph and take videos of the roof and other components. We can then import these files into our web-friendly report for our clients. Please let our office know if you have tall or tile roof which may not be able to be walked on and we will make sure to place our FAA-certified drone operator/inspector at your inspection.
