When you're buying a home in Southwest Florida, the inspection is the one step that tells you what you're actually buying. A Patriot Home Inspection is a top-to-bottom evaluation of the property — every accessible system, roof to foundation — documented in clear, easy-to-understand terms, not technical jargon, so you can decide with confidence. We bring more licensing to your inspection than any other team in the region, and it shows up in what we catch.
What a Patriot Home Inspection covers
Every accessible component is examined, photographed, and documented: roof and attic, structure and foundation, exterior and grading, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and water heater, interior doors and windows, insulation and ventilation, built-in appliances, and the garage. Thermal imaging is included on every inspection at no extra charge — it finds hidden moisture and electrical hotspots a visual check alone would miss.
Why buyers choose Patriot
Your inspector personally holds every major license — General Contractor, Roofer, and Mold Assessor — and runs the only Radon Lab in Southwest Florida. The range of expertise other companies split across a whole team, you get from one person. We walk roofs whenever it's safe to, because that's a more complete look than drone footage from above — and we drone it free when a roof can't be walked safely. And we cap every inspector at two inspections a day, not because we have to, but because your home deserves the time it takes to do this right.
How much does a home inspection cost?

What to expect
Most inspections take a few hours, depending on the home, and you're welcome to attend. Afterward you get a complete written report with photos, organized so you know what matters and what doesn't. Where a defect is hard to capture in words or a photo — a sound, a movement, the way a door catches — we include a short video clip so you and your agent can see exactly what we mean. No jargon, no scare tactics.
