Led by Fred Rodrigues, Certified Master Inspector®A closer look at the scopeTHE RIGHT INSPECTION FOR THIS HOME
Start your next chapter with clearer answers.
For buyers preparing for a builder walkthrough or closing who want an independent inspection of the home’s accessible systems and finishes.
Compare inspection purposesSee beyond the new finishes
New does not remove the value of an independent look. We examine accessible systems and components within the agreed stage and scope, documenting observed concerns for your builder conversation.
Make the walkthrough more useful
Photos and explanations give you specific findings to discuss, rather than a general sense that something seems wrong. The builder determines its response; you keep a record of the conversation and any agreed next steps.
Understand the stage being inspected
A completed-home inspection and an earlier construction-stage inspection see different things. Confirm the stage, access and systems ready to operate; a final visit cannot recreate a view of concealed work.
KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT
What the inspection covers
An independent look at the accessible construction, finishes and systems. The construction stage, utilities and builder’s access rules shape what can be checked.
Visible construction & finishes
We observe accessible exterior and interior conditions, including doors, windows, surfaces, and visible installation concerns.
Home systems
We review accessible plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components where the builder permits access and utilities are operating.
Roof & attic access
We evaluate the accessible roof and attic within the agreed scope and record any areas we cannot inspect.
Builder follow-up
A clear report helps you organize questions for the builder and keep track of items that need further review.
A clearer conversation before your next milestone
Use the documented observations to organize questions for your builder. The report also records areas that could not be inspected, so you understand where another visit or specialist evaluation may be needed.
This independent inspection does not replace municipal inspections, certify code compliance, or guarantee that the builder will make repairs. Phase-specific availability and scope must be confirmed before booking. Read the inspection scope and standards.

What matters for this inspection in Clermont
Start with the parcel, then the permit office
A Clermont mailing address does not establish that the City of Clermont issued the permits. The city directs owners to Lake County Property Appraiser records to identify the municipality. Confirm the parcel’s jurisdiction before asking for permit history or final-inspection records.
Make the builder visit workable
Ask your builder when the home will be accessible and which systems will be ready to operate. Share the scheduled walkthrough and closing dates with us. Confirm the inspection stage and scope before booking; a completed-home visit does not automatically include concealed construction stages.
Keep three separate conversations clear
Municipal inspections concern the permitted work and applicable requirements. Your builder’s walkthrough addresses its handover process. Our independent inspection documents accessible conditions within the agreed scope so you can bring specific observations and questions to the builder. None of these steps replaces the others.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Clermont questions, answered.
Does a Clermont final permit inspection replace my own inspection?
No. A municipal final inspection and an independent home inspection have different purposes and scopes. Confirm permit status with the issuing authority and use the independent report to discuss observed home conditions with your builder.
Can you inspect before the builder walkthrough?
Ask us to coordinate the available appointment with your builder’s permission, the home’s readiness and your walkthrough date. Leave time to receive and discuss findings; availability and report timing need confirmation for your property.
What if my Clermont address is outside the city?
Use the parcel record to identify the responsible county or municipality. Keep that jurisdiction’s permit records with your builder documents. The mailing address alone does not determine which building department to contact.
