Two Building Booms Split Miramar, and Your Inspection Follows Them

The name means look at the sea, yet the city limits start at US 441 and end at the Everglades Conservation Area. What shapes an inspection is when the house went up and what sits behind it.

The original 2.9 square miles
The city incorporated in 1955 with fewer than 200 residents, between SW 64th Avenue and University Drive. A.L. Mailman's first 56 homes were concrete with flat roofs, and the population grew from about 5,500 in 1960 to about 24,000 by 1970. Original panels and pipes are the first question over there.
The west filled in much later
City history describes about two-thirds of its land as still undeveloped around its 1972 land use plan. Population then tripled between 1990 and 2010, as Silver Lakes, Monarch Lakes and Sunset Lakes took shape. Those homes face a different question now: first-generation roofs and equipment reaching replacement age.
A lake behind the fence
Many western lots back onto waterways, most of them owned by the South Broward Drainage District. The city runs an embankment program for eroded banks, and owners west of University Drive deal with a district permit. Know that before you fall for the view. Our home inspection page explains what we note.

Miramar Home Inspectors Who Ask the Build Year First

We ask for the year built on the first call, because that one number changes the whole visit. A house from the city's first decades raises questions about panels, drains and flat roof sections. A lake-lot home from the 1990s raises questions about the original roof, pipe material and who looks after the bank behind the fence.

Peter Lemos has served South Florida since 2008 and takes calls at (954) 297-0317 seven days a week, 5 AM to 10 PM. As a Certified Master Inspector®, he walks you through what he saw rather than handing over a stack of pages. You get a firm price before anything is scheduled, and several inspections can share one visit.

Office in neighboring Hollywood, no call center
Gate access arranged ahead of the visit
Insurance reports usually the same day

Buyers
Your inspection period is short. Learn the roof age, the panel brand and the state of the lake bank while you can still negotiate.
Sellers
A pre-listing inspection shows what a buyer's inspector will raise, and leaves time to gather roof permits and association approvals.
Renewing a policy
Carriers now want paperwork on homes that felt new not long ago. Wind mitigation and 4-point reports usually go out the same day.
Agents and investors
Ranked findings make it easier to compare a Silver Lakes house with an older concrete home east of University Drive.

Good questions

Miramar Home Inspector FAQs

The questions buyers and owners here raise most. Something else on your mind? Call (954) 297-0317.

Do you cover all of Miramar, including Silver Lakes and Sunset Lakes?

Yes. We work across the whole city, from the older streets near US 441 out to Monarch Lakes, Riviera Isles, Sunset Lakes and the western edge. Silver Lakes also crosses into Pembroke Pines, and we cover that side too.

Is a Miramar home from the 2000s too new to need much inspection?

No. At about 20 years, original water heaters, A/C equipment and roofing can be near the end of their service life, and Citizens starts asking for a 4-point past that age. A newer house simply has different questions than an older one.

Which inspections do buyers in Miramar usually order?

Usually a full home inspection and a wind mitigation inspection, plus a 4-point if the home is more than about 20 years old. Add a roof or mold inspection if something looks off. They can usually share one visit.

I live on a lake. Do you inspect the bank behind my house?

We note what we can see: erosion, slumped edges and how close they come to a patio, fence or pool deck. We do not design repairs. The city's Public Works Department runs an embankment program for eligible single-family lots.

Can you get into gated communities?

Yes. Give us the community name when you book, and your agent or the seller can add us to the visitor list. Guard-gated areas such as Sunset Lakes usually want a name in advance.

How much do inspections cost in Miramar?

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