From a full general home inspection to specialized Wind Mitigation, Air Quality Testing, and Mold Sampling — First Florida covers everything Tampa-area buyers, sellers, and homeowners need to make confident decisions about their property.
Every home is different, and every inspection should be too. At First Florida Home Inspection, Erick Wyatt brings a Florida home inspector's license, hands-on construction experience from his grandfather, and a commitment to detailed, honest reporting to every service we offer — so you get the complete picture of your property, every time.
The general home inspection is a complete, top-to-bottom evaluation of a home's structure, systems, and safety. It's the service First Florida performs most often — and the foundation of every confident home purchase across the Tampa Bay region.
Buying a home is probably the largest and most exciting investment you will ever make. A thorough general inspection removes the emotion from the decision and replaces it with facts — the true condition of the roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and every other system. You walk into closing knowing exactly what you're buying.
A Wind Mitigation Inspection is a Florida-specific report that documents the wind-resistant features of your home — roof shape, roof-deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, opening protection, and more. The completed report is submitted to your insurance carrier to qualify for premium discounts.
In Florida, where hurricanes and tropical storms are an ever-present threat, insurance companies offer significant discounts on homeowner's premiums for homes with wind-resistant features. Most Florida homeowners save several hundred to over a thousand dollars per year on insurance after submitting a wind mit report — making this one of the highest ROI inspections you can get.
Air Quality Testing is a professional indoor air assessment to identify allergens, pollutants, biological contaminants, and environmental concerns inside the home. First Florida uses lab-grade sampling equipment to deliver clear, actionable results you can trust.
Florida's humid, warm climate combined with sealed-up air-conditioned homes creates the perfect environment for hidden indoor air quality problems. Mold spores, dust mites, pet dander, VOCs from off-gassing materials, and bacterial contamination can all impact your family's health — especially for anyone with allergies, asthma, or respiratory sensitivity. Air quality testing tells you what's actually in the air you're breathing.
Mold Sampling is a visual and laboratory-tested assessment of a home to identify mold growth, mold-prone conditions, and the moisture intrusion pathways that allow mold to thrive. First Florida collects samples sent to an accredited lab for species identification and concentration analysis.
Florida's humidity, frequent rain, and warm temperatures make mold growth one of the most common — and most expensive — problems homeowners face. Mold can affect indoor air quality, trigger allergies and respiratory issues, and cause significant structural damage when left unaddressed. Whether you're buying, selling, or troubleshooting a musty smell, lab-confirmed mold sampling gives you the answers you need.
A Pre-Listing Inspection is a complete general home inspection commissioned by the seller before the home goes on the market. It identifies issues your buyer's inspector will eventually find — giving you the chance to fix them, disclose them, or price for them on your own terms.
The worst time to learn about a major issue is the day before closing. A pre-listing inspection puts you in control: fix issues at your pace, disclose them transparently, or adjust your asking price accordingly. Buyers see a seller who has nothing to hide, and inspections during the buyer's due diligence period rarely produce the kind of last-minute surprises that kill deals.
A First-Time Buyer Inspection is the same comprehensive general home inspection we perform on every property — with extra time built in to walk you through the home, explain how systems work, and answer the questions every first-time buyer has but isn't sure how to ask.
Your first home is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make, and you shouldn't have to navigate it alone. Erick takes the time to walk first-time buyers through the inspection process step by step, point out what to watch for, explain what's normal vs. what's a real concern, and give you the kind of advice you can trust. By the time we leave, you understand the home — not just what's wrong with it.
