Why There Are No Testimonials on This Page
Because a quote retyped onto a company's own website proves nothing. There is no verification, no profile behind it, no way for you to check that the person exists, and no way for anyone to leave a second one saying something different. Every home inspection website in Brevard could publish five glowing paragraphs this afternoon, and some of them did.
Ours are on Google, where the reviewer has an account, the platform moderates, and we cannot delete the ones we dislike.
What we do not do: we do not offer discounts, prize entries, gift cards or anything else in exchange for a review, and we do not write them ourselves. That policy costs us reviews. It also means the ones that exist are worth reading.

Judge them the way you would judge anyone's, using what follows.
How to Read an Inspector's Reviews
Reviews of home inspectors are unusually easy to fake and unusually easy to misread, because most customers only ever hire one inspector and have nothing to compare against.
What a Real Review Sounds Like
It contains something only that customer could know. The type of house, the neighborhood, the finding, how long the report took, what the inspector did when something could not be accessed. "Found a Federal Pacific panel on a 1972 house off Riverside and explained exactly what it meant for our insurance" is a real experience. "Professional, thorough, highly recommend" is a sentence anyone can write about anyone.
Detail is the tell. Not enthusiasm.
Patterns Worth Distrusting
A cluster of five-star reviews posted within a few days of each other, particularly on an account with little other history. Reviews that praise the company rather than describing the service. Identical phrasing across several reviews. A perfect average across dozens of reviews, which real businesses do not have because real customers occasionally have a bad day. And any company advertising a discount in exchange for a review, which tells you exactly what its rating is measuring.
Read the Middling Ones
Three and four star reviews are the most informative on any profile. They usually come from someone who was broadly satisfied and had one specific complaint, and that complaint tells you where the business actually strains. A profile with only five-star and one-star reviews and nothing in between is worth a second look.
The Five Questions That Beat Any Review
Ask these of any inspector in Indialantic, including us. They separate a three-hour inspection from a ninety-minute one, and no review will do that for you.
- Do you remove the panel dead front?
- Do you enter the attic or view it from the hatch?
- Do you walk the roof, and what do you do when you cannot?
- Do you carry thermal imaging, and do you confirm it with a moisture meter?
- How does your report record areas you could not access?
That last one matters most and gets asked least. A report that simply omits the attic reads exactly like a report on a sound attic, and you would never know the difference.
Our Answers
The dead front comes off on every inspection. The attic gets entered wherever it can be safely reached. The roof gets walked where the pitch and covering allow, and the report states the method used on each slope rather than leaving you to assume. Thermal imaging is carried on every job and nothing is called a moisture problem on a thermal image alone. Anything inaccessible is recorded as not accessed, with the reason.
Every inspection is performed by a Florida-licensed, InterNACHI-certified inspector under FL License #HI 11755.
What Licensing Actually Covers
Florida home inspectors are licensed, which sets a floor: training, examination, insurance and a standard of practice to work to. It is a real filter and you should not hire anyone without it.
It does not distinguish between two licensed inspectors, one of whom spends four hours in a house and one of whom spends ninety minutes. Both are licensed. Only one of them opened the panel. The license is where you start narrowing, not where you finish.
