We are in the same position as Dadspet. Does anyone out there in TV land have any names and phone numbers of good quality inspectors?

Nova,

If you do a search on this forum, you will see that a number of us used Pat DeGioia, A-1 Villages Home Inspections, for our home inspections (pre purchase as well as 1 yr warranty). He is a Villages resident, has extensive building/inspection experience, and certainly knows the Villages homes very well.

His inspection is $199 and he gives you a written report you can turn in to the Warranty dept. He also comes back after the repairs are completed to verify they were done correctly.

His phone # (cell) is 352-205-0180.

Thank you very much, I'll call him.

The good thing about using Pat is that he is a known commodity at the warranty office and will deliver the report directly to their office. The items that needs attention are written up in such a way that they are rarely challenged.

Also be aware if you need a statement for your home owner s insursurance for a wind mitigation discount...Pat can provide that at the same time for an additional $50.
