New builds in Fort Myers are not immune to problems. Missed insulation, drainage issues, HVAC shortfalls, and code items that slipped through are common. An independent inspection before closing gives you documentation the builder's walkthrough won't.

A large portion of Fort Myers' housing stock has roofs approaching or past the age where Florida insurers require 4-Point inspections or refuse new coverage. We document roof age, condition, and material type so you know your insurability position before closing.

Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels are still common in Fort Myers homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. Both are fire hazards and most insurers won't touch them. We identify these panels and walk you through what replacement involves.

Polybutylene and galvanized steel piping are found in many older Fort Myers homes. These materials are flagged by insurers and lenders. We document all visible pipe materials throughout the home.

Lee County's heat and humidity are hard on homes year round. Moisture gets in, it doesn't always get out, and mold follows. We use moisture meters and probe suspect areas to find what you can't see on the surface.

Air conditioning is non-negotiable in Fort Myers. We test HVAC systems for proper operation, check refrigerant levels, inspect ductwork, and note the age and condition. That information matters a lot when you're budgeting for what comes after closing.
