The right inspection for the decision ahead.
From homes and commercial properties to the forms your insurer needs, get a careful look at the building and a clear written report.
Commercial inspections
A practical evaluation of visible building systems and components, informed by decades of commercial construction and on-site superintendent experience.
4-point inspections
A focused review of the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Florida insurers commonly request it when evaluating coverage for an older home.
Wind mitigation inspections
An evaluation of qualifying wind-resistant features such as roof shape, roof-to-wall connections, and opening protection. Insurers use the report to determine available windstorm credits.
Thermal imaging inspections
As a certified residential thermographer, Kenneth uses thermal imaging to help reveal hidden moisture, electrical hot spots, and insulation gaps the naked eye can’t see.
Pool inspections
Comprehensive pool inspections covering the structure, equipment, plumbing, electrical, and safety features — a specialty few inspectors offer.
Mobile home foundation certifications
Lenders require an engineer's foundation certification for manufactured and mobile homes. Through our partnership with Noble Engineering Services, their licensed engineers certify the foundation — reports typically delivered within 48 hours.
Water testing
On-site collection and certified laboratory analysis of well and drinking water, including bacteria, lead, nitrate, and nitrite testing. Samples are gathered at the property and delivered to the lab for independent analysis.
Termite check & certified WDO
Every inspection includes a visual termite check at no charge — honestly labeled, not a certified inspection. When a certified WDO report (Form 13645) is required, our licensed partners perform it — Michael's Termite & Pest Control (FL License JB352851) in the Ocala area, Star Termite & Pest Control on the west side — $150, booked in the same call.
Sewer scope inspections
A camera inspection of the home's sewer line that can reveal root intrusion, breaks, and blockages before they become your problem. Performed through our partnership with Right This Second Plumbing (FL License CFC1433860), a licensed Florida plumbing company — we coordinate the scheduling, and you pay the plumber directly.
Termite Check Included With Every Inspection — Certified WDO Available
Every home inspection we perform includes a visual check for termites and other wood-destroying organisms at no extra charge. Let's be straight about what that is: a careful look for visible evidence — damage, frass, mud tubes, conditions that invite them — noted in your report. It is not a certified WDO inspection, and we won't word it like one.
When a certified WDO report (Florida Form 13645) is needed — and FHA and VA loans in Florida typically require one — our licensed local partners perform it: Michael's Termite & Pest Control, FL License JB352851, a State of Florida licensed pest control company, in the Ocala and Summerfield area; and Star Termite & Pest Control on the west side, covering Dunnellon and Williston. They do the inspection and issue the official report under their license; we coordinate the scheduling. WDO inspection: $150, booked in the same call as your home inspection — one stop, both done.
No fine print and no wording games. You'll always know exactly which inspection you're getting.
Sewer Scope Inspections — See Inside the Line Before You Buy
A home inspection can't see underground. A sewer scope can: a camera run through the home's sewer line shows its real condition — root intrusion, cracks, breaks, misaligned or collapsed pipe, and blockages — before a hidden repair becomes your repair.
Sewer scopes are performed by Right This Second Plumbing (FL License CFC1433860), a State of Florida licensed plumbing company based in Ocala. They run the camera and report what they find; we coordinate the scheduling alongside your home inspection so it happens in the same visit window whenever possible. You pay Right This Second Plumbing directly for the sewer scope — we don't mark it up, and the findings come from the licensed plumber who actually scoped the line.
Ask us to add a sewer scope when you book, and we'll line it up.

Straight answers about the property in front of you.
Kenneth Oyster brings more than 30 years of hands-on residential and commercial construction experience to every inspection. He has been a licensed home inspector since 2018 and is a certified residential thermographer.
He started in construction at 13, learning alongside his uncle when carpenters built the entire home, and became an on-site superintendent at 21. That broad building knowledge helps him recognize what others may overlook—without burying you in jargon.
