The fall season is upon us in Florida, and while the colors of the leaves don’t change down here, we often joke that the colors of the license plates do!

We are ready to welcome the fall and winter season “snow-birds” to our neighborhoods, our businesses, and our little section of paradise.  If you are visiting for a few weeks or for a few months, you may find you have fallen in love with our town, and would like to purchase a home as your permanent vacation spot, or your future retirement spot!

Coastal Guardian is here to help ensure that you feel confident in your purchase! We offer comprehensive Home Inspections, Four-Point Inspections, and Wind Mitigations.  Our clients’ needs and satisfaction are our priority.  Our promise to you is provide you detailed, easy-to-understand reports with color digital photographs (a must for home insurance companies), timely service, and dedication to you.  We encourage our clients to attend their inspections so that we may explain any issues we may find, and answer any questions or concerns you may have.  If you are unable to attend, we offer to call you from the site inspected once finished, or at your convenience, to discuss the results of the inspection(s) performed.

This fall we are offering TEN PERCENT OFF any inspection service when you mention this post! This offer is valid until December 31, 2018.  If you have any questions, please call us at 772-228-1288.  We are here to help you fall in love with your new home, and this little slice of paradise!

Wind

If you are planning to buy a home, having a quality home inspection done by an interNACHI-certified inspector will provide you with knowledge that will allow you to make a fully informed decision.  A wind-mitigation inspection will provide you with an even further detailed report about the quality of your roof and home, and the level of security you will have during severe weather, in addition to providing your home insurance valuable information for potential premium discounts.
