This is definitely information the buyer would want to know. I want to know what I’m paying for, right? I wouldn’t buy spoiled food at the supermarket or a pen that was leaking ink. Obviously, a house is a much bigger investment than an apple or a pen. If there are significant problems with a house, I can use this information to ask the seller to fix the problem or negotiate a lower price.

We used Check Twice for a four point and wind mitigation inspection. The price was reasonable, we received the results quickly, and they were super helpful in providing additional recommendations of things we could do to potentially save additional money on our home insurance. I would highly recommend!

Check Twice responded quickly to my request for inspection. The inspector was thorough in the inspection process and was able to locate the window certification labels in the glass corners that I could not even see. This is a big deal to me to obtain a discount on my already expensive property insurance. My previous wind mitigation inspection company could not locate the inscribed labels which cost me considerably over the last 4 years. I recommend Check Twice, they saved me money and looked closely.

I’m buying a home in Lakeland but live in Tallahassee. They were very helpful not only getting their inspection set up but also helping me with other inspections I needed. From my first call all the way through the inspection they were professional, timely and very detailed. Their pricing is very competitive as well. I highly recommend them.

We are extremely pleased with the job that Wayne and his wife did for us. Our report was professionally done and he was super thorough. There were no surprises in the report, he was up front with everything he was going to document. He also took time to speak extensively with us and answered all of the questions me and my father had. I will recommend them to anybody I know that is looking for a home inspection. Thanks Wayne! Outstanding Service!

Love that this is family owned and they are not looking to make a quick dollar, rather setting the prices for the amount of time taken. Patsy texted and responded quickly to any questions/concerns. Very easy to setup and complete. Had the survey results in the same day.Very Professional, objective highly recommend. Prices are unbeatable and family team are courteous, taking time to explain and answer any questions. I don't typically do these but they deserve community support. Thanks!
