Inside & Out Property Inspectors offer more than just a home inspection in St. Augustine. We also perform new construction inspections, 11-month warranty inspections, and pre-drywall inspections.
It’s especially important to have certified and experienced home inspectors for homes in a coastal, historic city like St. Augustine. Salt air, high winds, and centuries-old construction methods mean these homes age differently than homes further inland. We are local to St. Augustine, FL, and understand how homes age in this area.
Near the coast, we pay close attention to roof fasteners, HVAC condensers, and any exposed metal. These are the first things salt air starts to corrode.

Certified Home Inspectors for
St. Augustine is one of Florida’s most distinctive markets. “The Ancient City” draws buyers who want walkable, historic character as much as coastal living. The housing stock ranges from 19th-century coquina and tabby-construction homes in Historic Downtown & Lincolnville, to waterfront properties on Anastasia Island and Vilano Beach, to newer master-planned construction in Palencia, World Golf Village, and Nocatee.
Older St. Augustine homes (pre-1980, and many well predating that) frequently present concerns specific to this region: deteriorating coquina and tabby walls, aging clay sewer lines in the historic core, and roofing or HVAC systems worn down faster by salt air near the coast. Newer builds aren’t immune either, and salt air near the coast wears down roofing or HVAC systems faster.
Catching these issues early gives you real leverage at the negotiating table, whether you’re buying a 19th-century Lincolnville home or new construction out in Nocatee.

Home Inspection
Do older St. Augustine homes need a different kind of inspection?
Yes. Coquina and tabby construction, common in the historic district, needs a different eye than modern drywall-and-stud homes. We check for issues specific to these older building methods.
Is wind mitigation included with a home inspection?
It’s a separate report, but we bundle it with your home inspection so you get the documentation most Florida insurers require in one visit.
How long does a home inspection take in St. Augustine?
Most inspections take 1–2 hours because we send a team rather than a single inspector, which is faster than the 3–4 hours a solo inspection typically takes.
Do you inspect historic homes in Lincolnville and the downtown district?
Yes, our inspectors are experienced with coquina, tabby, and other pre-code construction methods found throughout St. Augustine’s historic core.
What does a home inspection typically cost in St. Augustine?
