What to Expect From Your Home Inspection

Coast2Bay’s Home Inspections for the Great Tampa area provide a thorough look at your home and all its systems.

Whether you are in the buying process, selling or maintaining your home, Coast2Bay Inspection Services provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.

After we walk through the home together on inspection day, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later, including safety issues, structural issues, electrical issues, and plumbing issues. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora inspection report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.

It’s important to know what you’re buying, and we agree. With the backing of InterNACHI, we’ll stand behind our services with our 90-Day Buy Back Guarantee so long as the home was listed with an active Florida licensed real estate agent.
