Home Inspection in Brandon, FL
A Brandon Home Inspector Since 2007
Inspected is owned and operated by Jason and Sarah Hebert. Jason has been inspecting Tampa Bay homes since 2007 and is InterNACHI® Certified / InterNACHI CPI®, Florida licensed and insured. Nearly two decades in Hillsborough means knowing which builders cut corners in which years, what an underwriter flags on a twenty-year roof, and how eastern Hillsborough lots really drain.
We work for you, not the sale. You get the findings plainly — what's urgent, what's routine maintenance, and what belongs in your repair request. View a sample report.
What Brandon Homes Need Watched
Newer subdivisions with builder shortcuts
Brandon, Riverview, and FishHawk are full of 1990s–2020s production homes. Fast build cycles leave behind attic framing damage, missing insulation, sloppy HVAC duct connections, and drainage that was graded for the plan, not the lot. We look at the things the builder walkthrough skips.
Sinkhole-prone Hillsborough geology
Eastern Hillsborough sits in an area with documented karst activity. We document settlement cracking, door and window binding, and slab movement patterns so you know whether you're looking at cosmetic stucco cracks or something that warrants an engineer.
Drainage, retention ponds, and yard flooding
Many Brandon-area neighborhoods drain into shared retention systems. Lots that sit low, negative grading against the slab, and clogged downspout runoff cause moisture intrusion long before it becomes visible inside. We check grading and how water actually leaves the property.
Roof age and insurance eligibility
A large share of Brandon homes are hitting the 15–20 year roof mark. Insurers get strict fast at that point. A 4-point inspection covering roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC tells you where you stand before you're under contract and out of options.
Wind mitigation credits inland
Inland doesn't mean no credits. Hip roofs, nailing patterns, secondary water barriers, and impact-rated openings all show up on the OIR-B1-1802 form and can lower a Brandon premium. We run it in the same visit as your buyer's inspection.
Inspections We Offer in Brandon
- Buyer's Home Inspection
A thorough walkthrough of major systems and components so you know what you're buying — before you close.
- 4-Point Inspection
Roof, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing documented for Florida insurance underwriting — common on homes ~30+ years.
- Wind Mitigation
Roof attachment, opening protection, and other features that can unlock windstorm insurance credits.
- Pool & Spa Inspection
Pools often aren’t fully covered in a standard inspection. Get equipment, safety, and condition checked — with the house or alone.

Brandon Home Inspection FAQs
How much does a home inspection cost in Brandon?
It depends on the home's size, age, and whether you add 4-point, wind mitigation, or pool. Call or text 727-291-3322 with the property address and we'll quote it up front — no surprise add-ons at the door.
How fast will I get my Brandon inspection report?
Typically within 24–48 hours of the inspection. It's a photo-rich digital report you can forward straight to your agent and use to build your repair request. You can view a full sample report before booking.
Do I need a 4-point inspection on a Brandon home?
Usually on homes around 30+ years old, most Florida insurers require one covering roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Newer Brandon and Riverview builds often don't need it — call us with the address and we'll tell you straight.
Should I inspect a brand-new construction home in Riverview or FishHawk?
Yes. We inspect new builds at pre-drywall, at final walkthrough, and again before the 11-month builder warranty expires. Production-scale construction moves fast, and finding items while the builder is still obligated to fix them is the whole point.
Do you inspect in Valrico, Lithia, and Seffner too?
Yes. We cover Brandon and the surrounding eastern Hillsborough communities — Valrico, Bloomingdale, Riverview, FishHawk, Lithia, Seffner, Dover, and Apollo Beach.
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes, and we recommend it. Walking the home together at the end is where most of the value lands — you'll see the issues in person and understand which are urgent versus routine maintenance.
