Services We Offer To Home Buyers, Sellers, and Agents

Comprehensive Home Inspections
DMI is an industry leader in Comprehensive Home Inspections, with thousands of homes under our collective belts.  Our trained, licensed, InterNACHI-certified and insured Home Inspectors inspect hundreds of items on each house, from the foundation to the roof, inside and out. DMI uses state-of-the-art equipment to help evaluate and diagnose issues, and documents everything with dozens of clear digital photographs.

DMI’s Comprehensive Home Inspection evaluates the general condition of the property, identifies defects or adverse conditions that could significantly impact the property value, and if needed, alerts you any situations where a specialist may be required to make repairs or evaluate specific hazards.   Every identified condition or repair is accompanied by an estimate to repair or replace.   Our inspection allows you to negotiate with confidence and move forward with a better understanding of the home you are looking to purchase or sell.

Termite (Wood-Destroying Organism) Inspections
Did you know that Wood-Destroying Organisms (“WDOs”) do far more damage to homes in the United States than hurricanes, tornados, or floods?  Common Wood Destroying Organisms Include drywood termites, subterranean termites, Formosan termites, as well as several types of beetle.  DMI’s trained inspectors will look for wood-destroying organisms as a part of every one of our Comprehensive Home Inspections and report on whatever is found.   Should you require a WDO Certificate for mortgage or other reasons, we are pleased provide this for a small fee.

Mold Inspections
A mold inspection is a comprehensive visual and lab-tested examination of a home’s environmental condition.  It is conducted in order to determine if a home presently has mold, or has the potential to grow mold in the future.
Mold inspections include sampling the air, identifying any areas of moisture intrusion, inspecting for non-visible mold, evaluating any existing mold or mildew damage in the home, taking detailed digital photographs of any detected mold areas and any areas sampled, and obtaining a detailed lab result for each sample taken.

DMI’s reporting will provide you with clear information regarding the types of mold found and potential toxicity.  In the event mold is found at levels that could present a danger to the health and safety of the occupant, we will recommend a remediation plan and preventive maintenance suggestions.

Seawall Inspections
Are you looking to buy a home with a seawall?   Don’t proceed until you’re aware of its condition, as repairs and replacements of seawalls can be very costly.

Windstorm Inspections
Are you familiar with the construction features on your home that will help it survive a windstorm? If DMI can verify these features, and you have not had an inspection yet on your current single-family home or condo, it is extremely likely that you will save money on your current policy (see frequently asked questions, and click here to visit FloridaDisaster.org and Calculate Your Potential Savings)

Flood Elevation Certificates
Is the home you are evaluating located in a FEMA flood zone? If so, you may need flood insurance, and therefore an elevation certificate to clearly state the elevation of the foundation of your home. FEMA and Congress periodically make changes to the flood zone maps and rates. If you find yourself needing an elevation certificate, please contact DMI at (800) 469-0434 Option 4 and we will set you up with a quote.   Elevation Certificate pricing is calculated by county, and starts at $149.00.

Replacement Cost Valuations
How accurate is the replacement cost estimate that was used to determine how much insurance you needed on your home?   Under-insure and you may not have the coverage you need. Over-insure and you may be paying more than you need to. How long has it been since your policy was last evaluated? Consult with your valued insurance agent, and let DMI help you determine if it’s worth another look. Please give us a call at (954) 971-0512.
