Sarasota Condo Inspections
Are you looking to have a condo inspection in Sarasota or Manatee counties? Our region’s condos range from luxurious penthouses to more standard dwellings and they all deserve to be inspected with the same level of care and attention. Our condo inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of the systems and components within the dwelling. The duration of an average inspection is 2-2.5 hours but can vary depending on the size and complexity of the dwelling.
Direct Inspections inspects the Electrical, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Windows, Doors, Balconies, Appliances, Kitchens, Bathrooms and Interiors. We evaluate the water heater, visible plumbing supply lines and shut off valves, under sink waste lines, main water shut off, HVAC air hander, HVAC condenser, electrical panel, accessible outlets, GFCI protection, doors, windows, balconies, lanais, interior surfaces (non-cosmetic issues), fireplaces, smoke detectors, laundry, kitchen, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, bathrooms, toilet, sinks, tubs and showers. Typically the condo association is responsible for maintaining common elements such as the roof, exterior, irrigation and landscaping. It is recommended at ask your Realtor and the Condo Association which areas are your responsibility. If you are responsible for the roof, attic or any exterior areas it is recommended to bring this to the inspector’s attention so that those areas can also be evaluated. In certain cases such as attached villas and town homes this may be the case.
