Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions – A.C.F. Home Inspections
We’ve answered some of the most common questions homeowners and homebuyers in Central Florida ask about our inspection process. Whether you’re buying your first home or maintaining your forever home, these answers will help you feel informed and confident.
❓ How long does a home inspection take?
Most standard home inspections take about 2–3 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Larger or older properties may take longer, especially if multiple systems need extra attention.
❓ When will I receive my home inspection report?
You’ll receive your detailed, photo-rich report the same day as your inspection. It includes easy-to-understand explanations, high-quality images, and professional recommendations to help you plan your next steps.
❓ Should I attend the inspection?
Absolutely! We encourage buyers and sellers to be present. It gives you a chance to see the process firsthand, ask questions, and gain a better understanding of your home’s overall condition.
❓ What’s included in a home inspection?
Your inspection covers all major systems of the home, including:
✔️ Roofing and attic
✔️ Foundation and structure
✔️ Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems
✔️ Windows, doors, and insulation
✔️ Interior and exterior surfaces
✔️ Built-in appliances and safety features
❓ Do you inspect new construction homes?
Yes — and we highly recommend it. Even brand-new homes can have hidden defects or incomplete work. A new construction inspection ensures your builder addresses any issues before your warranty expires.
❓ What is a 4-Point Inspection?
A 4-point inspection focuses on the four most critical systems of a home: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Insurance companies often require this report before issuing or renewing a homeowner’s policy — especially for homes 20 years or older.
❓ What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection and why do I need one?
A wind mitigation inspection documents the features that protect your home from hurricane and storm damage — like roof shape, covering, and anchoring. Completing one can reduce your homeowner’s insurance premium, as insurers reward homes that meet or exceed Florida wind-resistance standards.
❓ Can you inspect condos, townhomes, or investment properties?
Yes! We inspect all residential property types, from single-family homes to condos and multifamily units. Our reports are tailored to the property type and client’s needs, whether you’re an owner, investor, or property manager.
❓ How do I prepare for a home inspection?
Make sure all areas of your home are accessible — especially the attic, crawlspace, electrical panel, and mechanical rooms. Remove stored items blocking inspection areas and unlock gates or doors that may restrict access.
❓ Do you offer re-inspections?
Yes. If repairs are made after your initial inspection, we can return for a re-inspection to verify that the issues were corrected properly and safely.
❓ Do you inspect for mold, termites, or radon?
While we focus on general home inspections, we work with trusted local specialists who provide mold, termite (WDO), and radon testing. We can coordinate these services upon request for a complete inspection package.
❓ Are your inspectors licensed and insured?
Yes — every A.C.F. inspector is fully licensed, certified, and insured in the State of Florida. We follow InterNACHI Standards of Practice, ensuring a consistent, high-quality inspection every time.
