Older homes and additions
Bring records for reroofing, additions, and equipment replacements. Visible condition and accessible installation details matter more than assuming every component is the same age as the original home.

SARASOTA COUNTY · FLORIDA
Your Venice move, with the details in view.
From a home closer to the beach to a purchase farther inland, Sunday travels from Sarasota for inspections in Venice and nearby communities. Tell Doug what you are buying, when you need answers, and whether your insurance agent has requested additional reports.
Venice’s historic districts include homes associated with the city’s 1926 plan, including Edgewood and Venezia Park. A historic property calls for questions about later alterations and system updates. A newly completed home in the surrounding area calls for a different conversation about builder access, installed equipment, and the timing of your final walkthrough.
Doug helps you choose the scope for the property you are buying, whether it is on Venice Island, in South Venice, or in nearby Nokomis or Wellen Park. Send available roof and repair records, the closing date, and any insurance inspection request. Findings are delivered the same day in plain language.
The inspection is visual and non-invasive. The agreed scope and safe access determine what can be evaluated.

Bring records for reroofing, additions, and equipment replacements. Visible condition and accessible installation details matter more than assuming every component is the same age as the original home.
For a completed new home, coordinate builder permission and working utilities before the appointment. Leave time to discuss documented findings before your closing deadline.
Tell Doug about any private pool or spa so it can be quoted separately. For flood information, look up the specific address using county resources and discuss coverage with your agent.
