A single-family home inspection is a full visual inspection of a detached house, covering the roof, attic, structure, foundation, exterior, garage, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and interior. Tampa Bay single-family homes range from early-1900s frame bungalows to new concrete-block construction, and the inspection is adjusted to the home's age and construction type.
What a single-family inspection includes
- Roof covering, flashing and drainage
- Attic framing, insulation and ventilation
- Structure and foundation
- Exterior walls, windows and doors
- Attached garage, doors and openers
- Lanais, porches and screen enclosures
- Electrical service and panels
- Plumbing and water heater
- Heating and air conditioning
- Interior and built-in appliances
Every era of Tampa Bay house
Single-family homes here span about a century of building. Early-1900s frame bungalows raise questions about wood framing and piers; post-war and 1970s block ranches about original electrical and plumbing; 1990s and 2000s subdivisions about first roof and AC replacements; and new construction about workmanship. With a degree in Architectural Engineering, Anthony adjusts the inspection to how each home was designed and built.
Additions and enclosures
Many single-family homes have enclosed porches, converted garages or room additions built decades after the original house. These often differ in framing, roofing and insulation, and the report notes where they do.
Ask about wells, septic systems, pools and detached outbuildings when scheduling; they are specialized items outside a standard home inspection.
