Why One Davie Inspection Rarely Looks Like the Next

More than 100,000 people live here, yet Davie is still legally a town, and in places it still lives like one. It began as reclaimed swampland sold off for farms, and that past shows up in the housing.

Horse country, on purpose
Residents voted by referendum to protect the town's rural character and equestrian lifestyle, and new developments must work trails into their site plans. So some lots carry barns, paddocks and detached buildings, which should come up before we set the scope of an inspection.
Your water may not come from the Town
The Town of Davie serves part of the area, the City of Sunrise serves some sections that were annexed later, and certain rural homes run on private wells and septic. Find out which applies before you close, because it changes what is worth testing.
Mobile homes are a real part of the market
An older Town housing report counted about 25 parks and more than 5,400 mobile homes. Citizens applies its 20-year rule to mobile home applications as well, so 4-point requests here are not only about site-built houses.

Home Inspections Across Davie, From a Certified Master Inspector

Peter Lemos runs Global Home Inspectors from Hollywood and has served South Florida since 2008. Call or text (954) 297-0317 any day of the week and you reach the person who will walk the property. You get a firm price before anything goes on the calendar.

That direct line helps in Davie, because the first call sorts out what needs doing. A 2002 house in Long Lake Ranches, a garden condo at Pine Island Ridge and an acreage home near the trails raise different questions, from the age of a tile roof to who maintains a well. Tell us what is on the lot, and we set the scope around it.

Serving South Florida since 2008
Well water testing available as an add-on
Several inspections can be combined in one visit

Buying in Davie
Ask what is on the lot beyond the house. Wells, septic tanks, barns and flood zones all deserve an answer before your inspection period runs out.
Selling first
A pre-listing inspection shows what a buyer's inspector is likely to write up, while the repairs are still yours to schedule.
Renewing a policy
Carriers often want fresh paperwork on older homes. Wind mitigation and 4-point reports usually reach you the same day.
Agents and investors
Prioritized findings for deals near the campuses or out on acreage, written so the repair talk stays focused.

Add-ons & specialty inspections

Additional Inspection Services in Davie

Add these to a Davie inspection or book them alone. The right add-on often depends on whether the home runs on a well, a septic tank or utility sewer.

Pre-listing seller inspections
Inspect before you list so you can fix issues on your terms, price with confidence and avoid surprises during the buyer's inspection.
New construction & pre-drywall
A fresh set of eyes before the drywall goes up and before your final walkthrough catches builder oversights while they're easy to fix.
11th-month builder warranty
Inspect your new home before the builder's one-year warranty expires so covered defects get repaired at no cost to you.
Commercial & multi-family
Light commercial, apartment and multi-family inspections covering the same systems as a home inspection, unit by unit.
Thermal imaging
An infrared scan that reveals missing insulation, duct leaks, overheating electrical components and moisture behind finished walls.
Termite (WDO) inspections
Wood-destroying organism inspections for evidence of termites and other pests, often required by lenders.
Radon testing
Radon is an invisible, odorless gas. Testing measures the level in your home so you can decide whether mitigation is needed.
Sewer scope
A camera inspection of the main sewer line to find root intrusion, cracks, bellies and blockages before they back up.
Pool & spa
Pool and spa equipment, surfaces, safety barriers and visible plumbing and electrical components.
Well water testing
Water quality testing for homes on private wells, so you know what's coming out of the tap.
Investor inspections
Fast, practical reports that help you estimate repair costs and compare properties.
Re-inspections
After repairs are made, we return to verify the work on the items listed in your original report.

Good questions

Davie Inspection FAQs

Short answers for buyers and owners in town. Still curious? Call (954) 297-0317.

Which parts of Davie do you serve?

The whole town, including Old Davie, Pine Island Ridge, Forest Ridge, Shenandoah, Long Lake Ranches, Rolling Hills and the acreage areas. Give us the address and we will go over the details.

Is Davie a city or a town, and does it matter for my inspection?

It is a town, with its own Building Division on SW 36th Street, which is where to ask about permits and elevation certificates. The inspection works the same, but the local records you may need come from the Town.

Will you look at the barn and other buildings on my property?

Tell us what is there when you call. A standard home inspection centers on the house, so barns, sheds and guest quarters need to be discussed up front, and your scope and firm price will reflect the answer.

Do I need well water testing on a rural Davie lot?

It is a smart step. The Florida Department of Health advises testing private wells for bacteria and nitrate at least once a year, and the state does not require a well test when a home is sold. We offer testing as an add-on.

Which inspection do I need when buying in Davie?

A full home inspection plus a wind mitigation report covers most purchases. If the home is more than about 20 years old, add a 4-point, since Citizens requires one and private carriers set their own limits. All three fit in one visit.

How much do inspections cost in Davie?

That depends on the property's size, age and type, plus what you add. Call for a free estimate, and you will have a firm price before anything is scheduled.
