What we do

Know the house. Arm your agent.

All services

Buying a home

A full InterNACHI-standard inspection so you know the house before you buy the house.

Home-Owners Insurance Inspections

4-point, wind mitigation, exploratory wind mitigation for spray-foam attics, and roof certifications — photographed thoroughly, booked in the live scheduler.

Florida beachfront mansion in framing with ceramic tile roof

New construction

Pre-pour, framing, final, and the 11-month warranty walk. Catch it while the builder still owns it.

Sewer-scope camera inspection equipment

Sewer-scope camera inspections

A video camera through the sewer lateral looking for breaks, bellies, offsets, and roots — the line you can’t see from the house.

Florida septic inspection

Septic inspections & pump-outs

Septic inspections and pump-outs coordinated with Florida-licensed third-party professionals — booked from the same scheduler.

Tenant pre-move-in and post-move-out condition report

Tenant condition reports

Move-in and move-out walkthroughs with dated photos — a side-by-side record of the unit, so damage isn’t a debate when you go after the deposit.

Professional inspection report summary

Report summaries

Every inspection includes a walkthrough of the findings, in person or by phone, with the client and their agent.

Walk-through consultation in a Florida home

Walk-through consultations

For buyers who aren’t sure they want a full inspection with a report — and for investors looking at a lot of properties. Verbal on-site consult only.

Walk-through consults are verbal only. No reports. No written findings. Florida home inspection standards of practice do not apply — this is not a home inspection.

Exploratory wind mitigation in a spray-foam attic

Exploratory wind mitigation

Spray-foam attic? We don’t mark “not visible.” With permission we cut small sections, get the UMVI photos and measurements, then set the foam back. Credits stay on the table.

Well water samples packed on ice

Well water testing

From E. coli / total coliform to an advanced panel. Sampled, iced, and driven to the lab the same day — so a last-minute lender requirement doesn’t stall the deal.

Electrical panel conditions that affect homeowners insurance

Insurance issues — from the field

Roofs, reroof permits, problem panels, aluminum wiring, double taps, and the other items that stall underwriting. The inspector walks the client through it before leaving, so nothing is a surprise later.

All hands on deck for large homes and mansions

All hands on deck

Large homes get extra hands, or the whole team. Same thorough inspection, finished in a fraction of the time.

The team

Inspectors you’ll actually want on site.

Where we work

Northeast Florida is home.

We also cover the Panhandle, Orlando and its surrounding areas, and parts of South Florida. Call management to confirm an address, or to request travel.

After we leave

Then the report is audited.

Guaranteed within 24 hours. Same-day if requested by noon. The agreement must be signed and payment received before release.

From the inspection to your inbox

  1. 01

    The inspector writes the report

    When the writing is finished, the report is submitted to management. Nothing moves on until that step is done.

  2. 02

    Management audits it

    Management reviews every document and report for our clients and for our insurance and real estate agents.

  3. 03

    The owner gives final approval

    When management is satisfied, the report goes to the owner for a final audit. It does not leave our servers until the owner approves it.

  4. 04

    The report is sent

    Once the inspection agreement is signed and payment has been received, the report goes to the client. If a real estate agent’s information was provided before release, that agent receives a copy too. After the report has gone out, the client may call and ask us to send it to any real estate professional they choose.

The reroof permit

Every report we release includes a copy of the most recent reroof permit on file, when the company, management, or the inspector can obtain it. If we cannot locate it, the inspector asks the homeowner for a copy at the inspection or afterward. If no copy is available from the online permitting site or from the client, a reroof permit is not included when the report is released.

Straight answers

What buyers, insurance agents, and real estate agents ask.

Spray foam in the attic — can you still do wind mitigation?
Yes. That’s our Exploratory Wind Mitigation. With the homeowner’s permission we cut small sections of spray-in foam, get the measurements and photos the UMVI form actually requires, then set the foam blocks back with low-expansion polyurethane foam adhesive we carry on site — so credits don’t die as “not visible.”
Do you test well water?
Yes. From a basic E. coli / total coliform screen to an advanced panel. The inspector collects the sample, ices it immediately, and drives it to the laboratory after the inspection. The lab runs the test you agreed to before we arrived — so a last-minute lender requirement doesn’t stall the deal.
Do you inspect structural components?
Yes. Florida home inspections include a limited visual look at readily accessible structural components — foundation, framing, and related systems you can see without opening walls. We are not structural engineers and do not certify structural adequacy.
WDO, sewer-scope, and septic?
We coordinate those with approved, Florida-licensed third-party providers. PVHI is not a pest control operator.
Is this a visual inspection only?
Yes — non-invasive, readily accessible systems and components. Drone and thermal find more without tearing anything open.
What is a walk-through consultation?
A verbal on-site consult if you’re unsure about buying, don’t want to pay for a full inspection with a report, or you’re an investor looking at a lot of properties. Walk-through consults are verbal only — no reports, no written findings. Florida home inspection standards of practice do not apply. This is not a home inspection.
How do I book?
Use the live Spectora scheduler, or call/text (904) 831-2220. You’ll never speak with an answering service or a robot — PVHI staff is on the phone, agent hours, for our clients and for insurance and real estate agents. Travel is billed on drive time and mileage.
