Patterns specific to Watersound alongside what we see across Northwest Florida more broadly. Knowing what to expect shapes how we focus on inspection day.
Active building means many homes are 0-24 months old. We focus on HVAC sizing, dryer venting, exterior flashing, and trim caulking. the things builders rush.
The builder's warranty window is the buyer's last leverage. We do dedicated 11-month inspections to surface defects formally before the warranty expires.
Coastal exposure attacks metal fast. HVAC condenser coils, exterior fasteners, gutter systems, and exposed mechanical components show accelerated wear. Our guide to coastal home inspection issues on 30A covers the full pattern.
Wood-frame stilted construction needs ventilation and drainage to work right. Sub-floor moisture, failed vapor barriers, and rot at sill plates and band joists.
