Today, more than ever before, it is imperative to get a home inspection, even newly constructed homes. Skilled labor shortages and the lack of available building materials have builders scrambling to complete new home construction on schedule. COVID restrictions and complications have caused building materials price increases and additional shortages in materials and labor. A Central Florida home inspector may identify builder oversights, the need for structural repairs, or required maintenance to keep the home in good shape. 

Buying a DeBary or Central Florida home may be the single incomparable investment you ever make.  Many Florida homes were just hit by Hurricane Ian and have moisture and wind damage.  Still more homes have not been repaired from damage caused by hurricanesMatthew in 2016, and recently Irma in 2017.  Once your Volusia county home inspection is complete, you can make your decisions about your new home with confidence.
