About Us

"HOME IS FOR LIFE"

Loggerhead turtles navigate the ocean and shallow waters of the Atlantic coastline. Approximately 90% of all loggerheads live off the coast of Florida, and they return to Florida every year to lay their eggs on a stretch of sand that is very close to where they themselves were hatched. For the loggerhead turtle, home is for life. InterCoastal Inspections is Volusia County’s premier home inspection company. We have the deep understanding that, for many of our clients as well, home is for life.

As a family-owned business, we pride ourselves on supporting homeowners and families who need an honest, competent and dependable property inspector. We understand the importance of safety when it comes to children and family. We give special attention to deficiencies in systems and components of the home that represent an immediate danger.

We are an indispensable asset to real estate agents, buyers, sellers, investors, property managers, landlords, mortgage brokers, and private and nursing care homes. Let us be your residential and commercial advisor, and find peace of mind that you are getting a professionals opinion.

As an experienced inspector, I understand property conditions beyond typical inspection standards. With background in home refurbishment in and around the Port Orange area, I have awareness of the detrimental effects that seemingly minor issues lead to. Especially when it comes to living in a salty, humid, and often wet coastal environment . This knowledge of a home's condition yields a much more comprehensive and insightful inspection. You gain in awareness & you're better informed for the key negotiations and decisions just ahead.

State, National, and International Affiliations:

Based in St. Augustine, InterCoastal Inspections is home inspector certified with leading professional affiliations that allows for on-going continuing education, sharpening of skills and keeping current with new trends. We are certified by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), International Association of Certified Indoor Air Quality Consultants (IAC2).

Florida Inspector Registered:

Florida has some of the toughest licensing criteria of any state in the U.S., for Home Inspection Services. In fact, the licensing criteria is higher for Florida home inspectors than for building contractors in and around the area, which often times require no licensing. Hence, some home inspection firms are operating without state registration/licensing, others have inspectors on-staff who operate under another's license. Neither is the case with our firm, so you can be assured of what kind of inspector you are hiring.

My registration is FL-HI#4600

InterCoastal Inspections will never send anyone other than the registered home inspector to your property! If the home inspector cannot perform your inspection, due to a schedule conflict, or for any other reason, you will be informed. Further, once you inspection is scheduled, we will not accept another job during the same time.

We are not a franchise - our customer service is personalized for you. We will be available for any questions or concerns months after your inspection.
