Services
WHAT WE OFFER
Checkmark Inspections provides home, condo and insurance inspection services in Broward County, Miami-Dade County and Palm Beach County. Ernesto Gil, Certified Master Inspector®, explains findings and the scope of each service.
Home Inspections & Condo Inspections
A pre-purchase home inspection evaluates readily accessible systems and visible conditions during your inspection period. The report identifies observed defects, safety concerns and maintenance needs so you can discuss next steps with your real estate professional and qualified contractors.
Condo inspections focus on accessible components within the agreed unit scope, such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, windows, doors and appliances. Common building systems and association responsibilities require separate review. A unit inspection is not a structural Milestone Inspection.

Seller Pre-Listing Home Inspection
A pre-listing inspection helps sellers understand visible concerns before putting a home on the market. It gives you time to seek repair estimates, plan maintenance and discuss findings with your real estate professional. It does not guarantee a sale price or eliminate a buyer’s need for an independent inspection.
Schedule a pre-listing inspection or review our inspection reports.
Mold Assessment / Sampling
South Florida’s humidity, plumbing leaks, roof leaks and water intrusion can create conditions for mold growth. Visible growth, musty odors or previous water damage may warrant further evaluation.
Our home inspections report visible mold-like growth and moisture concerns within the agreed scope. A dedicated mold assessment is available as a separate service or alongside a home inspection. Moisture meters and infrared scanning can help guide investigation; neither independently diagnoses mold.
Airborne or other appropriate samples may be collected for laboratory analysis when requested and appropriate. Sampling answers specific questions about the samples collected and does not guarantee that all hidden mold or pollutants have been identified.
Drone Inspections
When a roof cannot be walked safely because of its slope, materials or condition, drone imaging can help evaluate visible roof surfaces. Weather, airspace restrictions and access affect whether a drone can be used.
Checkmark Inspections uses FAA remote-pilot training and drone equipment as part of its inspection tools. Aerial images supplement the inspection; they do not reveal concealed conditions or guarantee access to every roof area.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
A wind mitigation inspection documents wind-resistant construction features for your insurance carrier. Your insurer determines whether those features qualify for credits or discounts; savings are not guaranteed.
The report may document roof covering, roof shape, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, secondary water resistance and opening protection. Provide available permits and product documentation when scheduling.
- Roof covering and shape
- Roof deck attachment
- Roof-to-wall connections
- Secondary water resistance
- Opening protection, including eligible windows, doors and garage doors
4 Point Inspection
A 4-point inspection documents the visible condition and age of four systems for insurance purposes:
- Roof
- Electrical wiring and panels
- Plumbing
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
Requirements vary by insurer and property. Confirm which report your carrier needs before scheduling. A 4-point inspection is narrower than a full home inspection and does not replace a buyer’s pre-purchase inspection.
Infrared Scanning / Thermal Imaging
Infrared scanning shows surface-temperature patterns that may warrant investigation for moisture, insulation deficiencies, air leakage or electrical overheating. Results depend on weather, equipment operation and conditions at the time of inspection.
Infrared does not see through walls, independently prove moisture or diagnose mold. We interpret findings alongside visual observations and appropriate measurements. Discuss the desired scope when scheduling.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) testing
Targeted indoor air sampling can help answer specific questions about airborne mold spores. We discuss the concern, appropriate sampling and the limits of laboratory results before proceeding.
Samples represent conditions at the sampling time and location. Testing does not guarantee that a home is free of pollutants or establish whether an environment is medically safe. Laboratory findings should be considered together with moisture conditions and the assessment.
