Home Inspection in Jacksonville, FL

Local inspectors who know Jacksonville homes

Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the continental U.S., so “a Jacksonville home” can mean very different things. A 1920s bungalow in Riverside or Avondale, a 1950s block ranch in Arlington, a 1990s stucco home in Mandarin or the Southside, a new build in the Beaches or out toward Yulee and the Westside, and a riverfront property on the St. Johns all have different weak spots. Our team inspects across the whole city every week, and our owner BJ spent more than 20 years as a custom home builder before inspecting. We know how these houses were built and how they age in Northeast Florida’s heat, humidity and storms.

What we see most in Jacksonville homes

• Older homes in the historic neighborhoods. Riverside, Avondale, Springfield, San Marco and Ortega have many homes built before WWII. We look closely at original wiring, galvanized or cast-iron drain lines, older framing and foundation piers, and past additions. A sewer scope is often worth adding on older homes with mature trees.
• Roofs and insurance. Florida insurers often ask for a 4-point inspection (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC) on older homes, and a wind mitigation inspection can document features like roof-to-wall connections and opening protection that may lower your premium. We can do both during the same visit as your home inspection.
• Water and moisture. Afternoon storms and high humidity mean we check flashing, windows, attic ventilation and crawlspaces for moisture. Our infrared camera helps find hidden leaks, and we’re licensed by the State of Florida as mold assessors when mold is a concern.
• Stucco. Many 1980s–2000s homes in Mandarin, the Southside and Intracoastal West are stucco over frame. Cracks and missing sealant around windows can let water in behind the wall. We offer non-invasive and invasive stucco inspections.
• Termites. Subterranean and drywood termites are active in Northeast Florida. We look for evidence of termite activity and damage during the inspection.
• Flood zones. Parts of Jacksonville near the St. Johns River, its creeks and the Intracoastal sit in FEMA flood zones. Check the FEMA flood map and ask your insurance agent early. We’ll point out signs of past water entry, grading and drainage issues.

New construction in Jacksonville

Jacksonville keeps growing, especially in the Southside, Westside, Northside and Beaches areas. Builders’ own inspections and city code inspections check minimum standards, not workmanship. We offer pre-slab, pre-drywall and final inspections, plus an 11-month warranty inspection so you can submit items to your builder before the one-year warranty ends.

Jacksonville home inspection FAQs

Do you inspect all of Jacksonville, including the Beaches?

Yes. We cover all of Duval County, including Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach, plus Clay, St. Johns and Nassau counties.

My insurance company wants a 4-point. Can you do it with the home inspection?

Yes. Add the 4-point and wind mitigation when you book, and we’ll do them on the same visit.

Should I get a sewer scope on an older Jacksonville home?

For older homes, especially in neighborhoods with big oaks like Riverside, Avondale and San Marco, we recommend it. A camera inspection can find root intrusion, breaks or old pipe before closing.

How fast do I get the report?

The same day, with photos, so you can use it during your inspection period.

Can I attend the inspection?

Yes, we encourage it. Plan to join for the last part of the inspection so your inspector can walk you through what they found.

Do you inspect new construction homes in Jacksonville?

Yes, at the pre-slab, pre-drywall and final stages, plus the 11-month warranty inspection.
