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.

I've seen several inspections over the decades and this was by far the best. Chris was very knowledgeable and experienced, and pointed out and explained to me the few issues that need addressing (which I already shared with my contractor). If I could rate Chris at more than 10 stars I would! Kudos!Oh, the report was excellent too, best I've ever seen.Bill J.

Although new to the experience of needing this type of company, I am happy to say that they were very quick to respond and educate me on their process. An appointment for my home to be inspected was available very quickly. Ray and John came to my home, very friendly, efficient, and again, so willing to educate. I look forward to hearing the results of their testing so I can move ahead with the process of remediation. Thank you Cornerstone!

The team at Cornerstone were phenomenalt! The owner, Corey, was very professional as well as very friendly. He had a ton of knowledge to help me and my family better understand the process. Purchasing a home can be an overwhelming task and having professionals willing to take the time to explain why they are doing what they are doing is crucial for the experience. His team of guys were also very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. They took the time to answer any of my questions and make myself and my family feel at ease during the whole process. I will absolutely be referring Cornerstone to all home buyers that I know in the future!

I called Cornerstone Inspection to do an “eleven month” inspection on my new home. I’m so glad that I had them come out. Alex found some issues with my home that I would not have seen and I would not have even known that they were issues because I’m not a builder. Alex was very professional and he explained all the issues to me. I received my report that very same day. Cornerstone Inspection was great to work with. I truly wish that I would have hired them to do the inspection before I moved in.

I highly recommend Cornerstone Inspections. I am buying a house in Ocala and wanted it looked at. I was going to inspect myself as I have a lot of construction experience but decided on professional service as it would look better with a professional letterhead, and a report for future negotiation on price. I have to say John Santa (General Manager) did an awesome job. He found things I would not have found. Extremely detailed report with pictures and videos (136 pages). He was able to clarify in layman terms the issues that needed to be addressed and the ones that were DIY. Cornerstone also has a preferred vendor list you can ask for to help you get the right contractors for those issues you need to get addressed. Way better than just a Google search. These are vendors they have inspected work performed. I wouldn't by a house without calling this company. I will be using them for future inspections on the work I have done on the house to insure quality of work performed. Florida contractors do not have a great reputation so I will have the work looked at. Thank John Santa! Job well done!

I had the pleasure of working with an exceptionally friendly home inspector who not only brought a warm smile to the job but also communicated everything in a clear and concise manner. His name was Javier Rabadan. His ability to deliver complex information to me in a way that was easy to understand was truly impressive. This, combined with his friendly demeanor, made the home inspection process a breeze. I highly recommend Cornerstone Inspections services!

Easy to contact for an appointment, rep was knowledgeable and provided details on process, inspector timely, called CD after inspection to review findings and answer any questions. Adams Homes builder does not allow buyers to be present with the inspector - they said due to liability ( weird/strange). Inspector sent report same day with pictures. Overall excellent experience. This was a regular inspection, no in-depth inspection of things like mold, underground pipes or any invasive checks. This was a new construction home.
Mary Wilson
16:10 01 Aug 23
Cory came out immediately and tested every wall in every room for humidity, besides just taking sample of mold. Very extensive testing and explanations of all my "what does that mean" in laymen terms. The mold report came back 24 hours later & Cory answered my questions about that too. Also due to the type of mold and where it was, agreed that duct cleaning would take care of it. Also, he was correct in that it was the furnace not working properly.

It's not often when the owner of a company calls to see how their service provider performed. He was truly interested in my feedback. I brought a couple items to his attention. Cory immediately made sure I was a happy customer! He is an excellent businessman, he understands all aspects of customer service. I would recommend them to my neighbors.

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.
Adeline Rosa
15:35 27 Mar 23
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!
