Prosight Inspections is a licensed, InterNACHI-certified inspection company serving Lakewood Ranch and the surrounding Manatee and Sarasota county villages (License HI11355). As one of the country's largest master-planned communities, Lakewood Ranch is dominated by newer construction across villages like Summerfield, Greenbrook, Riverwalk, and Central Park. A common misconception is that a brand-new or recently built home does not need an inspection, but new homes routinely have missed connections, rushed finishes, and warranty-eligible defects that are far cheaper to fix before you close or before the builder's warranty runs out.
Rapid, high-volume building in Lakewood Ranch can leave behind incomplete framing connections, HVAC and duct issues, roof and flashing shortcuts, and cosmetic-but-costly finish problems. A pre-drywall and final inspection catches these while they are still the builder's responsibility.
Most builders offer a one-year warranty. We recommend an inspection around the eleven-month mark so any settlement cracks, HVAC performance issues, grading and drainage problems, or workmanship defects can be documented and submitted before coverage expires.
Many Lakewood Ranch villages are built around lakes and stormwater retention ponds. We evaluate lot grading, drainage away from the slab, and irrigation to reduce the risk of standing water and moisture intrusion common in newly graded communities.
New Florida homes are typically built to modern wind codes, which often means strong insurance credits. We complete the wind mitigation (OIR-B1-1802) form so you can capture those savings, and document any items for your builder punch list.
A complete, InterNACHI-standard inspection of the home — with free thermal imaging included at no extra cost.
The roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC report your insurer needs for an older Lakewood Ranch home.
Document the features that lower your Florida windstorm premium on the state OIR-B1-1802 form.
Because new does not mean flawless. High-volume builders work fast, and subcontractors can leave issues like disconnected or leaking ductwork, missing insulation, improper flashing, plumbing that was never fully tested, and framing connections that were skipped. An independent inspection gives you a punch list the builder should address before closing, at no risk to your relationship with them since we work only for you.
Around the eleventh month of your first year of ownership. This gives the home time to settle and reveal issues, such as drywall cracks, sticking doors, grading and drainage problems, and HVAC performance, while still leaving you time to file warranty claims before the one-year coverage ends. We provide a documented, photo-supported report you can hand directly to the builder.
Licensed, InterNACHI-certified, and thorough — with a clear digital report within 24 hours, and free thermal imaging on every full home inspection.
