Dear Bobdel,
My name is Frank D'Angelo, owner and operator of D'Angelo Inspections.
I am a licensed Home Inspector and also an ASHI Home Inspector. I am in The Villages almost every day doing both "Perspective Buyer" Home Inspections and "One Year Warranty" Home Inspections. I am also a longtime contributor here on TOTV, posting as "faithfulFrank" and more recently as an Ad Sponsor under "D'Angelo Inspections"
My one year Warranty Inspections usually take a bit longer to do simply because I inspect everything I would normally inspect during a "buyer" inspection, then also check for additional cosmetic blemishes, etc not normally under the scope of practice of a regular inspection.
I walk the roof when possible, crawl around the attic, check all major systems and components of the home including A/C, Electrical panels, Appliances, plumbing, Exterior, Garage, Bathrooms and Kitchens, etc, etc. I also check the sprinkler system zones, Cabinetry, etc.
In addition I inspect and include in my report any issues or concerns you may have found during the past year you have been living in your new home.
My normal Inspection takes about 3-4 hours, then an additional 1-2 hours in my office compiling the report. I take plenty of pictures and include many of them in a easy to read and understand professional report. I then forward the report to both yourself and The Villages Warranty Dept so you do not have to do anything but answer the phone when they call to schedule times to fix any issues found.
You are welcome to be involved in the process and ask any questions you may have. The time I am at your home is yours. I, unlike other Inspectors schedule only one Inspection per day, so I am there concentrating on YOUR home, not getting to the next one.
My prices are based on the size of the home, weather there is a crawlspace, etc. etc. I am not the cheapest or the most expensive, but personally feel that I offer the best value for the quality of the report and the time I am at your home. I understand that this is the last chance you have to find issues while they are still under warranty, and I take that seriously.
If I can help you in any way please feel free to call me at 352-250-7818 or visit my website;
