Hello all,
We are Rich and Patti from Long Island, NY. We just went to contract on a previously loved home in Monarch Grove. I am looking to get a home inspector to check the place out prior to closing. Anyone have and recommendations? Or contractors to avoid?

Thanks for any help and can’t wait to join you all.

If it is a pre-owned house, Frank D'Angelo, 352-250-7818, is a good inspector. If it is a new house, you don't need a professional inspection until a month or so before the one year warranty expires.

Frank D'Angelo does a great job but they are usually booked out months in advance. You can give them a call. If they can't help you they might be able to recommend someone. If not, your sales agent is always a good resource.

I had already called Frank and they were booked out a few months. He did make a recommendation as did my sales agent. Just was looking for feedback from homeowners.

Since I am remote just trying to cover all bases.

Thank you all.

Thank you all.

I would never ask a real estate sales agent to recommend a home inspector. They clearly have a conflict of interest.

I've used Kevin Boutwell on 4 different home sales/purchases. He's excellent. He has inspected properties in The Villages, Oak Run and On Top of the World communities for my wife and I.

I agree with several others, Frank D'Angelo, 352-250-7818. His company does more inspections than any others for TV. Very professional, been around a while now and well regarded as you can probably see by the recommendations coming in.

Whoever you get make sure they can give you a wind mitigation for your roof save $$$$ on home insurance.

Thanks for all the recommendations! I agree about the sales person having a conflict of interest. That was why I was seeking suggestions from homeowners. Have a great day all!
