I would find and try another recommended company.

Agree. Used D'Angelo first time when dad was still doing. Now sons have taken over and think they don't do a complete job. Using Surf to Turf Home Inspections- highly recommend. Call Tom - a Villager, 352-448-5567

A few years ago, I wanted them to do an inspection on a resale and was told they are only doing new construction now. I don't know if it still holds true.
However, since I was an "old" customer, they did do the inspection.
I can't remember the cost.

You’re using one of the worst property managers. They’re mostly all scams. People use VillagersHomes4Rent

We used Boutwell on a tight timeline for our current home, and were happy with their work. (352) 351-8476.

Cost varies, but we found them to be quite reasonable versus other companies.

You do not need to be present.

I can second Boutwell. We hired them as we are out of town and they handled everything for us remotely. Very prompt with emails, calls, etc. Even went above and beyond to answer questions I had that were way out of scope of an HI about storage space capacities.

Home Warranty Inspection Recommendation

Does anyone have an inspector they would recommend?

How much does this cost?

Do we need to be present at the inspection?


Thank you in advance.

Florida Sweet Life Home Inspections ~ Joe Smith is licensed with the state of Florida. 352- 801-2638. He just did a Home Inspection for us. We highly recommend him. He will spend 5 hrs at your home inspecting every area of your home and attic. He uses a drone to inspect your outside roof area. His fee is $350. He will submit the report to the Home Warranty Department.

Don't use Cusimano for inspection. He missed major plumbing & electrical issues!
 
Cusimano did our inspection.
He missed a major llumbing wall leak. He also missed an electrical problem. He wasn't cheap, just incompetent.

We were present at ours and glad we were there as we got to ask lots of questions and take notes

After nearly 3 weeks, The Village People finally responded. They hired JBH Home Inspections to do the job. I haven't heard anything one way or the other about them. I'll update this post after I see what kind of work they do on the inspection.

Call 607.434.2020 to reach our friend Jim Guerriere he’s a villages building inspector.

There are many home inspectors out there so it can be difficult to choose. I became one after my Village home was inspected because I felt I could have done a better inspection myself. I’ve been inspection homes for 3 years and my report gets filed directly with The Villages warranty section who then contact the contractors responsible for the areas in question and they then contact the home owner to arrange for repairs. I follow up with the home owner on the status of the repairs. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Jim Guerriere, Blue Line Inspections
