Who Are You Inspecting For?
Buyers & Homeowners
Buying a resale home, closing on new construction, or renewing insurance on an older home. See which inspections you need and what each one covers.
Real Estate Agents
Scheduling in 1–5 days, same-day reports, and a follow-up call that gives your buyer real context on every finding. Phase inspections for new-community buyers, too.
Insurance Agents & Contractors
Form-accurate 4-point and wind mitigation reports, plus a reference library on what the form can verify — and how roofers can document work before it's covered.

Three Core Inspections.
Buying an older home? You’ll often need all three — and they can be done in the same visit.
Pre-Purchase Home Inspection
A full inspection under Florida’s Standards of Practice — roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, doors, appliances, interior and exterior. Delivered the same day as a detailed report of roughly 100 pages.
4-Point & Wind Mitigation Inspections
The two Florida insurance inspections. The 4-point documents the age and condition of the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. The wind mitigation documents the features recorded on the state’s form. Your carrier decides how the results apply.

Wind mitigation inspection →
New Construction Home Inspection
Three inspections across your build — pre-drywall, final walkthrough, and 11-month warranty — so defects get documented while the builder is still responsible for them.
Add to any inspection: thermal imaging, drone roof views, and structural evaluations in partnership with Noble Engineering. We also coordinate WDO, mold, and water testing with licensed contractors. Home inspection add-on services →

“It’s brand new. Why would I need an inspection?”
Because once you close, every deficiency becomes your problem. Florida builders owe you a one-year warranty — an independent inspection makes sure the issues are found and written down while it still applies.
What David finds on new builds, regularly:
- Missing insulation
- Damaged roof covering
- Broken windows
- Paint on surfaces that shouldn’t have it
01
Pre-Drywall Inspection
The only time anyone can see inside the walls — framing, connectors, rough plumbing and electrical, and insulation — before they’re closed up.
02
Final Walkthrough Inspection
A complete inspection of the finished home, including cosmetic issues — so your punch list goes to the builder before the keys come to you.
03
11-Month Warranty Inspection
After a season of living in the home, we document what’s surfaced so nothing is left in your hands when the builder’s coverage expires.
The Report is Only Half of It. The Call Afterward is The Other Half.

Guides Written By the Inspector Who Fills Out the Forms.
Roof deck, roof-to-wall, geometry, SWR, and opening protection — what the form can verify.
Buying, renewing, or after replacing a roof or system — and what to have ready.
What county code checks miss, and why every defect becomes yours at closing.
Deck nailing, connectors, and SWR — photograph it before it’s covered.
What Buyers and Agents Are Saying
★★★★★
David was prompt, courteous and professional. He explained everything we needed to know. I don’t know what the price was that we paid because it was bundled in with the cost of the new roof.

★★★★★
David was great. He was very pleasant and professional. Answered all my questions and completed the Wind Mitigation quickly. By the time I returned to my office, the Wind Mitigation was here! Thanks David … I Highly recommend this company.
Sherry H
★★★★★
Excellent service and very knowledgeable. David discussed all aspects of the wind mitigation inspection and prepared a formal copy in a hour after he was done. I would recommend Groff Inspections for your wind mitigation inspections.
