Common Issues We Find in Florida Homes

Florida’s environment brings unique challenges that buyers from other states may not expect. Our inspections frequently uncover:


  • Roof wear from storms and sun exposure

  • HVAC inefficiencies due to heavy use in hot, humid weather

  • Moisture intrusion leading to mold growth

  • Termite or WDO damage in wood framing

  • Outdated electrical systems in older homes

  • Poor drainage or grading causing foundation issues

By identifying these concerns early, buyers can plan for repairs or negotiate with sellers before closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is included in a buyer’s home inspection?

    A buyer’s home inspection covers the home’s major systems and components, including the roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and interior/exterior features. At Full Circle Home Inspectors, we also check for signs of water damage, safety issues, and general maintenance concerns to give you a complete picture of the property.

  • How long does a home inspection take in Florida?

    Most buyer’s home inspections take 2–4 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. Larger homes or homes with additional features like pools may take longer. You’ll receive a detailed digital report, usually on the same day.

  • Do I need to attend the buyer’s home inspection?

    While it’s not required, we recommend that buyers attend. Walking through the home with your inspector allows you to see issues firsthand, ask questions, and better understand the report.

  • How much does a buyer’s home inspection cost in Central Florida?

    Inspection costs vary based on the property’s size and location. We also offer add-on services like wind mitigation, Four Point inspections, and mold testing for an additional fee.

  • When should I schedule my home inspection?

    You should schedule a buyer’s home inspection as soon as you’re under contract. Most contracts in Florida include an inspection period (often 7–10 days), so booking quickly ensures you have enough time to review the report and negotiate repairs if needed.

  • Can I skip a buyer’s inspection if the home is new?

    Even brand-new homes can have construction defects. That’s why many buyers schedule both a buyer’s inspection and an 11th month warranty inspection. This way, you can catch issues before your builder’s warranty expires.
