What Makes a Hollywood Inspection Different

About a century of construction in one place. The street you are on says a lot about what a home inspector should look at first.

Several building eras in one city
Joseph Young platted Hollywood in the 1920s, and the 1926 hurricane forced much of it to be rebuilt. Most homes today date from the 1950s to the 1970s, so original panels, drains and water lines come up often in reports.
Water on more than one side
Canals run through Hollywood Lakes, the Intracoastal cuts the city off from the beach, and salt air reaches inland. Corrosion on exterior metal and moisture at openings get extra attention close to the water.
Strictest wind code in Florida
Hollywood sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, like all of Broward. That shapes what counts on a wind mitigation form and what your roof and window permits need to show.

A Hollywood Home Inspection Company, Not a Regional Call Center

Peter Lemos has run Global Home Inspectors from Hollywood since 2008. He answers calls and texts at (954) 297-0317 seven days a week, and as a Certified Master Inspector® he walks you through what he found instead of leaving you alone with a long report.

That matters in a city this varied. A 1960s ranch in Driftwood, a canal-front house in Hollywood Lakes and a unit in a beachfront tower all raise different questions, from original wiring to salt damage on a balcony railing. We keep the scope clear from the first call, and you get a firm price before anything is scheduled.

Office in west Hollywood, on N 65th Ave
Appointments seven days a week, often the same or next day
Several inspections can be done in one visit

Buying in Hollywood
Use your inspection period well. Find out about the panel, the drains and the roof before you commit to an older home.
Selling first
A pre-listing inspection shows you what a buyer's inspector will write about, while you still have time to fix it.
Renewing a policy
Insurers want current paperwork on older homes. Wind mitigation and 4-point reports go out usually the same day.
Agents and investors
Clear, prioritized reports that make it simple to talk about repairs, credits and deadlines.

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.

Termite (WDO) inspections
Wood-destroying organism inspections for evidence of termites and other pests, often required by lenders.

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.

Good questions

Hollywood Inspection FAQs

Quick answers for local buyers, sellers and homeowners. Don't see yours? Call (954) 297-0317.

Which parts of Hollywood do you serve?

All of it, from Hollywood Beach and Hollywood Lakes to Emerald Hills, Driftwood, Hollywood Hills and the western neighborhoods near our N 65th Ave office. If you search for a home inspector in West Hollywood, FL, that is our part of town.

Which inspection do I need when buying in Hollywood?

Most buyers order a full home inspection and a wind mitigation inspection. If the home is older, add a 4-point, since Citizens asks for one on homes more than 20 years old and private carriers set their own limits. All three fit in one visit.

Can you inspect a condo on Hollywood Beach?

Yes. We inspect the unit itself, including the A/C, water heater, sliders and balcony condition. The association and its engineers handle the building. See our condo inspection page for what that covers.

How soon can you get to my home?

We are based in Hollywood and work seven days a week, so same- or next-day appointments are often available. Call or text (954) 297-0317 and we will find the earliest time that fits your deadline.

How much do inspections cost in Hollywood?

It depends on the size, age and type of property and on which inspections you combine. Call for a free estimate. You will have a firm price before anything is scheduled.
