Sarasota Home Inspection

Buying a home in Sarasota is a major investment. A thorough home inspection helps you understand the real condition of the property before you close—from mainland neighborhoods to homes near the barrier islands.

PHW Inspections provides residential home inspections across Sarasota and nearby Southwest Florida communities. Tim Bausch is a Florida-licensed home inspector (HI 12698) and FABI Certified Inspector with 25 years of inspection experience. Our approach: Insight For Smarter Investments.

Why Sarasota buyers schedule an inspection

Sarasota’s housing stock ranges from historic and mid-century homes to newer construction and investment properties. An independent inspection is useful when you want more than a walkthrough:

• Spot issues that affect safety, value, or negotiations—roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and moisture concerns
• Document condition before closing on a resale, or before a builder warranty expires on a newer home
• Prepare for Florida insurance needs with wind mitigation and 4-point inspections when lenders or carriers ask for them
• Plan maintenance with a clear report on major systems and expected remaining life
• Gain negotiating power when defects show up before you finalize the purchase

Inspections we offer in Sarasota

• Residential home inspections (buyer and pre-listing)
• New construction and pre-drywall consultations
• 1-year warranty inspections
• Wind mitigation inspections
• 4-point inspections

Serving Sarasota and nearby Southwest Florida, including Siesta Key, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Venice, and Englewood.

Standards and scope

PHW Inspections follows the FABI Standards of Practice and Florida licensing requirements. A home inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of accessible systems at the time of the visit—it is not a guarantee, code compliance certificate, or warranty. For a full explanation of what is (and is not) included, see our Limitations of a Home Inspection page and our FABI Standards explainer.
