Receive the peace of mind you deserve.
Buying a home is an incredibly exciting prospect, but it is also a stressful and complicated process that involves many steps. One of the most important steps is receiving a home inspection before the purchase is finalized. No one wants to walk into a potential money pit, but that’s exactly what it’s like when you purchase a home without getting a home inspection first. For instance, if the structure is presenting issues, or it has severe damage, you deserve to know what you are purchasing before closing the transaction. With a home inspection, however, you’ll be well informed rather than be left with a home that risks your health and safety or drains your bank account for needed repairs. Whether you are looking at an old house or a newly constructed one, it is extremely important to know what you are getting into, and the best way to get a full picture is to trust a reliable home inspector.
At Cornerstone Inspections, you can rely on our experienced experts to provide you with a comprehensive home inspection. We will examine the conditions of the electrical wiring, roof, attic, insulation, plumbing, HVAC system, garage, windows, doors, siding, and land grading. Our company will be sure to report any issues we find in a full report, which we will email to you within 24 hours after your home inspection.
Whether you are a buyer, seller, or homeowner, we will provide you with an exceptional home inspection and the peace of mind you deserve. Call us today for a free quote or to schedule your home inspection in Ocala, Florida.

FAQs About Home Inspections
Whether you’re planning to sell your home or invest in a new house, a professional home inspection is one of the most important steps you can take to give yourself peace of mind. A home inspection can provide numerous benefits and insights for buyers and sellers alike, and our team at Cornerstone Inspections is committed to delivering high-quality inspections for each one of our clients. Below, we’ve addressed a few common questions you might have about our process, so you’ll feel prepared for the inspection.
When would a seller get a home inspection?
Getting a home inspection before you even list your home for sale is a great way to determine the condition of your property and make some repairs before buyers start touring your place. Getting a pre-listing inspection will also help put potential buyers at ease since they’ll know you’re not trying to hide any major problems with the home.
Why should buyers schedule a home inspection before closing?
In most real estate transactions, there’s a period of time between the agreement and the official closing date. Many home purchase agreements include inspection contingency clauses that allow buyers to back out of a deal or negotiate for a lower price if serious issues are uncovered. Getting a home inspection before moving in will also prevent you from being surprised with expensive repair needs, such as a new roof or a cracked foundation.
How should sellers prepare for a home inspection?
Making small repairs, patching up cosmetic issues and imperfections, and decluttering are some easy ways to make your home look more appealing to potential buyers. Additionally, in many cases, expensive renovations aren’t necessary to attract buyers. Instead, all you need to do is focus on maintaining a clean, welcoming home.
Why Choose Cornerstone Inspections?

Fantastic Inspection Company! I bought a brand new home and was referred to Cornerstone for my Inspection. My agent contacted them on a Friday, they immediately sent over their credentials to the builder and came out Monday morning! I couldn’t believe how fast they were. Not only that I got my (very thorough) inspection report right after he finished! From Cory to John to all the people in the office it’s absolutely amazing customer service all around.Great prices too!!!100% Recommend!!!

We recently found ourselves in need of a mold inspection due to unfortunate and unexpected circumstance and were referred to Cornerstone Inspections. Cory was wonderful. He took the time to educate us on the process and make us feel comfortable every step of the way. We truly appreciate his honesty and professionalism during a very stressful time. Highly recommend giving them a call for all of your inspection needs!

We had Cornerstone do a home inspection to determine if we had a mold issue in the house. Ray did our inspection on Monday the 26th of August, and followed up with a phone call on the 27th to advise us that the testing had been completed and we checked out fine. Ray was very thorough and answered all our questions and we were extremely pleased with the service we received and would highly recommend this company.John AdamsSummerfield, Fl.

I'm currently in Massachusetts and am buying a home in Florida. This is the inspection company to get. Family owned, very friendly staff. Colby did an extremely detailed inspection of the house. Not to mention the owner of the company reached out to me. He wanted to check in and make sure that if I had any questions or concerns that he was more than happy to help me. Cornerstone made it easy for me. Thank you!

Inspector Javier was on time, professional and knowledgeable. He was very thorough. He provided me with all the information I needed for my one year warranty and when the inspection was done the report was sent to me in a very timely manner.

The Home Inspector was on time and communicated his arrival via text/phone call. Colby was knowledgeable, efficient and completed the entire inspection in about an hour. I received my completed reports within the hour after he finished. Their prices are a good value as they are less than the others in the area and I was able to schedule my appointment very quickly. I would STRONGLY Recommend this Company

I requested an inspection of my home to determine any repairs needed. I was not selling or buying. Everything went smoothly and the report is very thorough. Javier arrived on time and explained exactly what he was planning to do and the need for those steps. He asked if I had any areas of concern and paid special attention to those areas. He eased my mind about the small repairs needed and the type of professional I should contact for each item. He is personable and polite. Everything was returned to its original setting when his work was done. Would highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Cornerstone Inspections! I recently employed them to inspect a condo I am purchasing. I chose Cornerstone because in my experience as a real estate agent I have always found them to be prompt, courteous, professional, and very thorough. This time was no exception. I received a professional report quickly. It was detailed, yet easy to understand. I don’t know of any inspection company in Ocala that is more thorough.

I was satisfied with my experience with Cornerstone Inspections since the moment I called for a quote. I initially spoke with Mark who was pleasant and informative. Our quote fell between other quotes received from different inspection companies but the customer service sold me. Their availability worked well with our schedule. On the day of the inspection, our inspector Javier was prompt and got right to work. He was a pleasure to work with. He was thorough in his inspection and in his report. They made this part of the home buying process a pleasant experience.

I thought at first that the cost ( $ 705.00 dollars) was a lot but after seeing what Javier did it was well worth it. the info that he provided will come in handy in making decisions for my purchase. i would highly recommend your company and Javier as the tech.

I could not be more satisfied with my home inspection. I went in thinking they would simply look around checking out a few thing and calling it good. I could not have been more wrong. Cody was all over that house even in the tightest spots in the attic during the hottest time of day and even under sinks where you basically have to stand on your head to see.Extremely professional took the time to answer questions and explain items found. Highly recommend!

It was a great experience working with Cornerstone for a not-so-pleasant occurrence (mold). They were above board with everything, took as much time as needed to fully explain everything (even before coming), and followed through on all we discussed. Ray was prompt, friendly, and very professional. He gave us great information and suggestions as to proceeding with what we needed to do. Pricing was in line with other companies, so that was not an issue. I would certainly use them again if needed, and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs the array of services they offer. Great company.

I recently used Cornerstone Inspections for a comprehensive water quality test, and I couldn't be happier with the service.

We hired Cornerstone to inspect our new home prior to our blue tape walkthrough with our builder. To our surprise, two inspectors came to our appointment -one for the exterior and one for the interior. They arrived on time and were efficient, thorough and knowledgeable, not to mention extremely friendly. Both inspectors went above and beyond our expectations, even giving tips on how best to maintain our new home. Their report was sent to us later that same day. It was very detailed, with photographs of each area. For us, this was money well spent since it identified numerous things that we would have missed on our own. The inspectors from Cornerstone were great and we will be calling Cornerstone back in 11 months before our builder's warranty expires. We highly recommend them.

Just reading your description impressed me. Very well written and confidence building. Wonderful job with a report covering everything the technician could get to. The report was easily understood and covered items I hadn't even thought of. Thank you so much, Cornerstone Inspections, your report was enlightening. If I ever went through another home purchase I would be happy to call your company again.

I had had Cornerstone come to inspect my new home about a year ago and was sufficiently happy with their work that for my 11 month inspection I contacted them again. Booking an appointment was simple. I got a day and time that was convenient for me. Colby showed up on time with the necessary equipment to do the inspection. Like before they were on the roof, not taking pics from the ground. He asked if I had any concerns with the home and made sure he checked them out. He was polite and professional answering my questions and letting me know how the inspection was going. They emailed me an inspection report in less than 24 hours. He took lots of pics that were included in the report. I now have a record of issues I need to address as well as pics so I could see areas where there were no problems. Their fee is very competitive with other companies in the area. I would definitely recommend this company for others who want a through complete inspection.

A team with incredible attention to detail, genuine care for their customers, and timely work process. Cody, Javier, Colby, and John did an incredible job making a miracle happen for our family. We went under contract the day we were flying out and they offered a same day inspection and got our home inspected before we had to go to the airport. This was such a blessing as we are relocating due to a layoff and cancer, and used this as an opportunity to make our wildest dreams of living in The Horse Capital of the World a reality. Thank you, Cody and team for being truly extraordinary!

I look forward to hearing the results of their testing so I can move ahead with the process of remediation. Thank you Cornerstone!
