What We Repair From Home Inspection Reports
Most inspection reports list 20-40 items spanning plumbing, electrical, structural, and everything in between — a punch list that would normally require four or five contractors. We handle nearly all of them.
Plumbing
Leaking faucets, running toilets, water heater concerns, garbage disposal replacement, pipe repairs, missing or broken shut-off valves, supply line replacement.
Electrical
Faulty outlets, missing GFCI outlets (required near water sources in Florida), exposed wiring, light fixture replacement, panel concerns, smoke detector and CO detector installation.
Structural and Exterior
Fascia and soffit rot, screen repairs and rescreening, window seal failures, door alignment and weatherstripping, deck board replacement, loose or missing railings.
Interior
Drywall damage and cracks, painting touch-ups, trim and molding repair, cabinet door adjustments, tile repair, grout and caulking replacement.
Safety Items
Handrail installation, anti-tip bracket installation for ranges and furniture, window guards, smoke detector placement per current Florida code.
Minor HVAC
Filter replacement, thermostat issues, duct sealing.
What we refer out: Major structural work, full roof replacement, and complete HVAC system installation go to specialists we trust. We'll tell you upfront if anything on your list falls outside our scope — no surprises, no guesswork.
Need general home repairs beyond your inspection report? We handle those too.
How Our Home Inspection Repair Process Works
We've done this hundreds of times. Four steps. No runaround.
Step 1: Send Us Your Report
Email or upload your inspection report. We accept reports from any inspection company in Southwest Florida. PDF, photos of the report, or even a forwarded email works. Whatever’s easiest for you.
Step 2: We Review and Estimate
Our team goes through every line item on the report. We identify what we can handle (usually 80-90%), flag anything that needs a specialist, and put together a detailed, itemized estimate. Most estimates come back within 24-48 hours.
Step 3: We Complete the Repairs
Our licensed team handles everything on the approved list. Most reports are completed in one to three days depending on the scope. We document all work as we go — photos, descriptions, and completion status for every item.
Step 4: Documentation for Closing
We provide a complete report showing every item addressed — ready for the buyer, seller, realtor, or re-inspection company. No chasing us down for paperwork. You get it as soon as the work is done.

Common Home Inspection Findings We Fix
Every inspection report is different, but in Southwest Florida homes, certain items show up again and again. Here's what we see most and why each one matters.
Plumbing Issues
Leaking faucets and running toilets are on almost every report we receive. In SW Florida's humid climate, even small leaks compound quickly — mold can start forming in as little as 24-48 hours. We also fix water heater concerns, replace garbage disposals, repair pipes, and install missing shut-off valves.
If your inspector flagged it under plumbing, we probably fix it. For a deeper look at what typically comes up, read who fixes items from a home inspection report.
Electrical Concerns
Missing GFCI outlets top the list of electrical flags in Florida inspections. The state requires ground-fault circuit interrupters near all water sources — kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms, exterior outlets. We fix double-tapped breakers, exposed wiring, outdated two-prong outlets, and light fixture replacements.
Florida electrical code has specific requirements that differ from other states. A licensed contractor knows what needs to happen and what the inspector will check on the re-inspection.
Exterior and Structural
Fascia and soffit rot is a Southwest Florida staple. Heat, humidity, and daily afternoon storms break down wood trim faster here than almost anywhere else. Left alone, rotted fascia invites pests and water intrusion into the attic space. We repair and replace rotted fascia and soffit, fix screen enclosures, address failed window seals, replace door weatherstripping, repair deck boards, and tighten or replace loose railings.
Interior Repairs
Drywall cracks show up constantly in newer Florida construction. Houses settle, concrete block shifts slightly, and the drywall tells the story. Most of these are cosmetic — not structural — but they still need to be repaired before closing. We patch and repair drywall, handle paint touch-ups, fix damaged trim and molding, adjust cabinet doors and hardware, repair cracked tile, and replace deteriorating grout and caulking.
Safety Items
Inspectors flag missing smoke detectors, loose handrails, appliances without anti-tip brackets, and absent GFCI outlets as safety concerns. These items need to be addressed before closing — they're non-negotiable for most buyers. We handle all of them, usually in the same visit as the rest of the report.

We identify upfront if anything needs a specialist (major structural work, full roofing, complete HVAC replacement) so there are no surprises.
How long do home inspection repairs take before closing?
Most reports take 1-3 days to complete depending on the number of items and their complexity. We understand closing deadlines and prioritize time-sensitive repairs. We provide completion documentation the same day the work finishes — ready for re-inspection.
Do I need a licensed contractor for home inspection repairs?
