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?

I have used Cornerstone Inspection many times for my purchases there have been a few, some I passed on due to the Inspector’s findings. Other than a delayed response from the office, I’ve experienced nothing but professionalism from Inspectors Corey And John.

Colby was very polite and courteous. He treated my home like it was his. He literally left no signs that he had even been in every room, the crawl space, and the attic. I highly recommend Cornerstone Inspections.

With as many 5 star reviews this company has, one might think they are all fake, but with the experience I had with the inspector, that is not the case. They called shortly after I submitted an online request for an appointment, which was made for the next day. They showed up on time and went right to work. After purchasing a few homes, I can honestly say the report I received is one of the most detailed reports I have ever received. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who asks for a home inspector. When buying a home that will be one of the biggest investments in your life, you need this company to give you a heads up on any potential problems. Thanks for a job well done.

I would only recommend Cornetstone Inspections for home inspections - including mold and radon tests. They are the only company I have used over the past 3 years for pre-inspections (a 46 acre horse farm I purchased for my primary residence and all of my residential investment properties). Cory is very knowledgeable, professional and very detailed oriented in his inspections.

Cornerstone inspections are great. They were able to easily reschedule our inspection when we were waiting for the electric to be turned on. They arrived on time, were very thorough and did not rush thru the inspection. They answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable with our decision to purchase the property.

I just had Colby and Alex from Cornerstone come and inspect my new build home. I received a call promptly after contacting the company and was given a time for the inspection that was convenient for me. They showed up on time and began their inspection immediately. They were very through in their inspection checking all the electrical components, plumbing, and appliances. Alex was up in the roof, not like some inspectors that take photos from the ground where they might miss something. He also was in the attic checking the structure and ductwork. I felt I received good value for the cost never mind piece of mind. I would definitely recommend this company if you need a home inspection done.

I selected Cornerstone Inspections based on the Google reviews and I was not disappointed. I received excellent service from day 1. They quickly responded to the request from the builders for their license and insurance documents, worked with the builders for an inspection date and contacted our real estate agent when the date was set. Javier Rabadan was the inspector for our property. He was courteous, professional and did a thorough inspection. Upon completion he walked us through his findings and we received the report later that evening. I would definitely use Cornerstone for any future inspections. Thank you for this positive experience!!!

The friendly, easy to schedule first step was refreshingly kind and personal in the artificially created hectic pace of the housing market. The professional, thorough inspectors arrived on time, went to work immediately, and answered all our questions while remaining objective and highly informative. The reports were ready without delay. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs prompt, efficient, and experienced home inspectors.

I called Cornerstone Inspections about an issue I had and they scheduled a mold inspection, even though I was a little outside the area they serve. They helped me out tremendously! Mr. Pool (Cory and Ray) have been so helpful and resourceful throughout the ongoing process with my homeowner’s insurance. I cannot praise them enough! They go above and beyond for the customer!

I only ordered a 4 points inspection for my home in Ocala Florida. However, I received excellent advice to maintain issues that could be preventable with very little upfront investment. My expectations were exceeded regarding "uber fast" scheduling- next day, the communication, above and beyond advice, and thoroughness. Bravo!

Being from out of state, we wanted a reputable company to perform our home inspection. The reviews were the deciding factor in choosing Cornerstone. We were impressed by the professionalism, communication and the detailed inspection we received from John. Our report was available within two hours after the inspection via email.

What a great experience! We were having trouble finding an inspection company that met all the requirements that our builder (Lennar) needed for us to have a private inspection for our new construction home. We were lucky our real estate agent found Cornerstone! I am very detail oriented, so when I talked to Rick on the phone, he was very pleasant and answered ALL my questions which I appreciated very much. They were able to get me scheduled right away for our preferred time and we received very clear follow up email instructions promptly after we scheduled. It was very convenient and easy to pay for the service. John S. who did our inspection was very prompt and thorough. He promised to have the inspection report ready that same evening and we were pleasantly surprised to get it just a few hours later. Thank you!

Wow, what can I say about this Company. I called them around 6:00 pm on a Friday evening and had a very professional and pleasant conversation with their representative. I was expecting to hear that it would be a week or so before an appointment could be set, but to my surprise he asked if Monday at 9:00 am would work, WOW!!The day of the appointment the inspector showed on time and wasted no time getting started. About an hour and a half later he showed me pictures of two areas of concern and explained the consequences of these issues. He was very professional in his explanation and then he took the time to physically show me exactly were the problems were. The most important issue was electrical, and it would have made it almost impossible to insure the home and would have cost me about the same amount of money as the inspection if it would have been discovered after the closing.So, in my mind I broke even on the cost of the inspection minus the hassel I would have faced trying to get someone out to fix it post closing.I would highly recommend them!John

Looking to purchase a home and found one that checks all the boxes? Your next call should be to Cornerstone Inspections of Ocala. Not only are they extremely responsive, but the level of detail provided with their inspection is something everyone needs before ever finalizing the purchase of a home.

Everything about Cornerstone Inspections is quality and professional, from administration to the inspectors. They are punctual, efficient, responsive, and overall outstanding.

This company is fantastic! I researched companies online, then I emailed them with some questions. Cornerstone called me and they were very helpful. We scheduled our new home inspection with them. John arrived on time, he was very thorough and very knowledgeable. He was professional, and he showed us pictures and explained everything. He was thorough and he did not rush. Choose this company, you will be very pleased.

The inspection was thorough, and the resulting report was easy to follow. Cornerstone was both quick and easy to deal with. I would recommend them for any home inspections.
