There are typically 3 major inspections per property.  As your new construction project progresses, you will want to have periodic inspections conducted in order to ensure that everything is proceeding as it should.  These inspections are typically done 2 key points in the building process: pre-pour, pre-drywall and final inspection.

• Pre-pour-  When it comes to new construction, investing in pre-pour inspections is a crucial step in ensuring the quality of your project.  With these  inspections, you can identify any problems before concrete is poured, saving time, money, and resources.  By prioritizing pre-pour inspections, you can be confident that your construction project is completed properly and to the highest standards of quality.  
• Pre-drywall inspection is important in order to catch any potential problems with the framing, electric, plumbing and HVAC of the house before it is covered up with  drywall.  These fixes are typically quick fixes that may have been  overlooked by the builder or sub contractor.  However if unchecked these small details could be difficult, expensive or impossible to repair at a later date.
• The final inspection will take place several days prior to your planned visit to your builder/prior to closing.  It is a comprehensive home inspection of the entire dwelling.  Not only does it include the major systems and physical structure of the home including the roof, attic, ceiling, walls, flooring, foundation/crawlspace, mechanical systems (heating and cooling), as well as plumbing and electrical systems, but also includes any cosmetic defects.  In addition we will operate all appliances and fixtures to ensure that they are in proper working order.  We will look at every detail to ensure  that your new home is in perfect condition.  The entire dwelling and surrounding grounds are covered 100%.

If you’re buying, selling, or refinancing a manufactured/mobile home in Florida, most lenders — including FHA, VA, and USDA — require a Manufactured Home Foundation Certification, also known as a Tie-Down Inspection.

At Terra Home Inspections, LLC, we provide professional HUD-compliant foundation certification inspections for manufactured and mobile homes throughout Florida. Our goal is to help you stay on schedule for closing while ensuring your home is safe, secure, and properly anchored.

A foundation certification inspection verifies that a manufactured home’s foundation and anchoring system meet HUD Permanent Foundation Guidelines (HUD-7584). This includes checking:

• Tie-downs, anchors, and piers
   
• Structural supports and load points
   
• Skirting and ventilation
   
• Proper attachment to the foundation system
   
• Evidence of movement, corrosion, or deterioration
   

Most lenders require a HUD-foundation/compliance certification when financing a manufactured home through FHA, VA, or USDA loans. Without this certification, your loan or refinance may be delayed or denied.

This service is available throughout Northeast Florida including St. Augustine, Palm Coast, Jacksonville and Palatka. 

If you’re buying, selling, or insuring a home in Florida, you may be asked to provide a roof certification.  We provide professional Florida roof certification inspections to help homeowners, buyers, and insurance carriers confirm the condition and remaining life of a roof.

During a roof certification inspection, we evaluate the age, materials, installation, and overall condition of the roof. We look for signs of leaks, wear, and damage, and we document whether the roof is expected to provide reliable service for the required time frame. Our detailed roof certification reports are accepted by insurance companies and can often help homeowners secure coverage or reduce insurance premiums.

With Florida’s harsh sun, heavy rains, hurricanes, and humidity, roofs take a beating—making a roof certification an important step in protecting your home and investment. Whether you’re a homeowner needing proof for your insurer, a real estate professional facilitating a closing, or a buyer wanting peace of mind, we’re here to provide a thorough and accurate roof certification inspection.

Schedule your Florida roof certification today and ensure your home is ready, protected, and compliant.
