If you are in need of a home inspection in Southwest Florida, PHW Inspections is here to help.

Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a pre-listing inspection, 1 Year Warranty Inspection or you just are interested in a home inspection to ensure proper maintenance of your current home, you can trust us to deliver excellent services. We will ensure you are aware of any potential issues with your current home, or a home that you’re interested in purchasing.

We are focused on education to provide you with all of the information you need about the property in question and its overall condition. We welcome you to walk through the home with us and to ask any questions you may have throughout the inspection process.

PHW Inspections has a thorough, multi-point checklist that ensures that no stone is left unturned. We will explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent after your inspection is complete.

In addition, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, delivered online via HTML or PDF format, documenting all of our findings including images, references and further details. This report will be available for you both in a desktop-friendly format and a mobile format so that you can stay in the loop and check your report even when you’re on the go.

Hear From Our Clients

				Tim was early and already hard at work when I got to the unit at the appointed time. Tim is very personable and gave me a brief update as he prepared to go to his next task (check the roof). At the finish he gave me a thorough walk through summary of his photographed and written concerns. Tim answered all my questions and has been great on some follow-up items. I highly recommend Tim!!!

				The inspection was scheduled for 9 AM, we arrived early and Tim was already in the process of what he does. His inspection included the use of a camera recording a video for us and the use of a drone inspecting the roof. Very satisfied with Tim, would use him again and would refer him to friends.

Peter Hewitt
				Tim was extremely professional throughout the entire process of our home inspection. He was thorough and careful with any decor items that may have been in the way. He took clear pictures outlining the areas of concern, and answered additional questions that I had regarding the home systems. He is very knowledgeable and detailed oriented, all while being efficient in this process! I also appreciated that he put on shoe protectors while inspecting the inside of our home. We’ve had inspections where we’ve had to spend an hour cleaning up afterwards. That was not the case with Tim!  Recommend 100%!
