Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your home, Lake Sumter Home Inspections delivers professional and quality service from the moment you contact us. Our certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you, providing as much insight as you’d like to learn. We adhere strictly to the Standards of Practice set by InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.

After the walkthrough, we’ll discuss the overall condition of the home and its systems with you and your agent, highlighting any major issues that require immediate attention as well as items to monitor for future maintenance. All of this information will be compiled in our easy-to-read Spectora report, delivered in both HTML and PDF formats. This report will include detailed notes and reference images of everything we discussed, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the findings.

This includes the exterior walkways and doors, siding, eaves and soffits, fascia, paint, and other such elements of the home’s exterior.
