Home Inspections in Clermont, Florida

Clermont’s Trusted Home Inspection Team

Buying or selling a home is a major decision. At 5 Star Building Inspections, we provide thorough, professional home inspections throughout Clermont, Lake County, and Central Florida, giving our clients the information they need to move forward with confidence.

​

With more than three decades of combined experience and over 17,000 inspections completed, our team understands what to look for, how to explain our findings clearly, and how to help you better understand the condition of the property.

​

We Work in Teams to Save You Time

Most home inspection companies send a single inspector. At 5 Star Building Inspections, we take a different approach.

​

Our inspectors work in coordinated inspection teams, allowing multiple systems and areas of the property to be evaluated at the same time. For larger homes and luxury properties, we may send three to five experienced inspectors who routinely work together.

​

Our team approach can significantly reduce the amount of time required at the property without sacrificing thoroughness or attention to detail.

That means less disruption for buyers and sellers, greater convenience for real estate professionals, and more scheduling flexibility when inspection periods are short.

More inspectors. Less waiting. The same thorough 5 Star inspection.

More inspectors. Less waiting. The same thorough 5 Star inspection.

​

Thorough Inspections With Modern Technology

Every home inspection includes a detailed evaluation of the property’s readily accessible major systems and components, including:

​

• Roofing

• Structural components

• Exterior surfaces

• Electrical systems

• Plumbing systems

• Heating and cooling equipment

• Attics and insulation

• Interior rooms

• Kitchens and bathrooms

• Built-in appliances

• Garages

• Pools and spas when requested​

​

We also use a thermal imaging camera on every home inspection to help identify conditions that may not be readily visible during a standard visual inspection. Thermal imaging can help our inspectors identify temperature differences associated with potential moisture intrusion, missing insulation, overheating electrical components, HVAC concerns, and other unusual conditions.

 

For multi-story homes, tile roofs, steep slopes, and other difficult-to-access areas, our inspectors may also use drone technology when appropriate to safely document visible roof conditions.

​

​

Same-Day Inspection Reports

You should not have to wait days to understand the condition of the property.

Our clients receive a clear, detailed, photo-documented inspection report the same day as the inspection. Our interactive reports are designed to be easy to navigate and clearly identify significant findings, safety concerns, recommended repairs, and maintenance items.

​

We are proud of the quality of our reports and are happy to let prospective clients review a sample inspection report before choosing us.

​

We Proudly Show Our 5 Star Reports

​

Our job is not simply to hand you a report. We take the time to explain our findings and answer your questions so you understand the property and can make an informed decision.

Experience Matters

A home can look beautiful during a showing while still containing defects that are difficult for an untrained eye to recognize.
 

Roof leaks, electrical hazards, plumbing problems, HVAC concerns, moisture intrusion, improper repairs, structural movement, drainage problems, and construction defects may not be obvious during a typical walkthrough.
 

Our inspectors combine decades of hands-on experience with modern inspection technology to provide a detailed and unbiased evaluation of the property.

Luxury Home Inspections in Clermont

Clermont and the surrounding area include larger custom homes, lakefront properties, gated communities, and luxury residences that may include multiple HVAC systems, pools and spas, specialty roofing, outdoor kitchens, advanced electrical systems, extensive plumbing, and other complex components.

 

At 5 Star, our approach to large and luxury homes is built around a coordinated inspection team.

​

Some companies may occasionally place two inspectors on the same home, but that does not necessarily mean they operate as a true team. Our inspectors routinely work together, divide the property by systems and areas, communicate findings throughout the inspection, and combine their observations into one complete evaluation.

 

For larger properties, we may send three to five experienced inspectors, allowing us to provide a thorough inspection while significantly reducing the amount of time buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals need to spend at the home.

​New Construction Inspections in Lake Nona

Clermont and the surrounding Lake County area continue to see significant residential development, making new construction inspections especially valuable.

​

A newly built home should not automatically be assumed to be defect-free. Construction involves numerous contractors and trades working together, and defects, damaged materials, incomplete work, or installation problems can still be overlooked.

​

Our pre-drywall inspections allow us to evaluate visible framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC components, and other systems before they are concealed behind insulation and drywall.

​

Our final new construction inspections help identify defects involving roofing, insulation, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC equipment, finishes, safety items, and incomplete work before closing or move-in.

​

For roofs that builders do not allow independent inspectors to walk, or for tile and difficult-to-access roofs, our drone technology can provide valuable high-resolution documentation of visible roof conditions without unnecessary foot traffic on the newly installed roof.
