Home Inspector in Sarasota, FL

Prosight Inspections is a licensed, InterNACHI-certified inspection company serving Sarasota and the surrounding Gulf Coast (License HI11355). Sarasota pairs a historic bayfront downtown and neighborhoods like Laurel Park and Gillespie Park with quick access to low-lying barrier islands. The 2024 hurricane season, including Helene's storm surge and Hurricane Milton's nearby landfall, brought significant wind and flood impacts to the region, making a careful, storm-aware inspection more important than ever for buyers evaluating repairs, roof condition, and moisture history.

What we watch for in Sarasota homes

2024 storm and surge damage history

Following Helene's surge and Milton, many Sarasota-area homes have been repaired, re-roofed, or remediated. We look for signs of prior water intrusion, hidden moisture, hasty or unpermitted repairs, and roof work quality so you understand what was actually fixed versus merely covered up.

Flood zone and low-elevation exposure

Homes near the bayfront and toward the barrier islands can sit in higher-risk flood zones. We evaluate grading, drainage, foundation and slab moisture, and evidence of past flooding that affects both safety and flood-insurance requirements.

Wind mitigation credits

Wind mitigation inspections carry real value on Sarasota's coast. We document roof covering, deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, and opening protection on the OIR-B1-1802 form so you can claim available windstorm premium credits.

Mixed-age housing near downtown

Older bungalows in Laurel Park and Gillespie Park may have aging wiring, plumbing, and electrical panels, while newer builds bring their own defects. We tailor the inspection to the home's era and construction type.

Sarasota FAQ

Questions from Sarasota homeowners

How does the 2024 hurricane damage affect buying in Sarasota?

It makes an inspection essential. Many homes were flooded or wind-damaged and then repaired at very different levels of quality, sometimes without permits. We look for lingering moisture, mold-prone areas, roof and flashing repairs, and electrical or HVAC systems that may have been submerged. Our goal is to tell you clearly what condition the home is truly in today, not just what a fresh coat of paint suggests.

Should I get a flood and wind evaluation in Sarasota?

We do not perform official FEMA elevation certificates, but our inspection does assess drainage, grading, slab and foundation moisture, and any signs of past flooding, which are important context alongside your flood-zone determination. We also offer a wind mitigation inspection, which documents storm-resistant features and can lower your windstorm insurance premium, valuable on the exposed Sarasota coast.
