A CLOSER LOOK
Before you buy, look above the beautiful rooms.
What we found
This home was less than five years old when our inspection found missing roof covering at a roof junction. The report documented the exposed area and recommended repair by a qualified roofer.
What it means for you
A newer home can still have important defects. Missing roof covering can allow water into the layers below—making this a repair to investigate before closing.
Your next conversation
Ask a qualified roofer to evaluate the area and provide a repair estimate. Review the findings with your agent before your inspection deadline.

PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Plan your Windermere inspection.
How much does a home inspection in Windermere cost?
Pre-Purchase Inspections start at $550 for properties under 2,000 square feet and 60 years old or less. Pricing varies for larger or older properties. Both 4 Point and Wind Mitigation reports are included at no additional inspection charge with a full inspection under 4,000 sq ft. At 4,000 sq ft or more, standalone insurance rates apply. Review your property’s quote and selected services when booking.
How long does a full home inspection take?
Typically about 2½–3 hours. The time varies with the home’s size, age and access to major systems. Separate insurance inspections have a different scope.
Should I inspect a new home before the builder walkthrough?
Yes. An independent New Construction Inspection gives you documented findings to discuss with your builder. Arrange builder permission, working utilities and access before the appointment, and allow time to review the report before your walkthrough or closing.
When should I schedule an 11th Month inspection?
Before your builder’s actual warranty submission deadline, with time to receive the report and submit your concerns. You do not need to wait until month eleven. Check the dates and instructions in your warranty documents.
Do I need a Wind Mitigation report too?
Ask your insurance agent. Wind Mitigation documents wind-resistant construction features, while a 4 Point report documents four major systems. They serve different purposes; confirm which reports your insurer needs before selecting services.
Does my home inspection include a dock, lift or seawall?
No, not automatically. Tell us about each waterfront structure when requesting your quote so we can confirm the agreed scope and any specialist assessment needed.
Where do I find records for a Windermere address?
Start by confirming whether the property is inside the Town of Windermere. A Windermere mailing address alone does not establish jurisdiction. For a property in town, contact the Town’s Building Department; for a property outside town, confirm the responsible county or municipality.
When will I receive my Pre-Purchase Inspection report?
The same day as your inspection. Leave time to review the findings with your agent and arrange any recommended follow-up before your inspection deadline.
Researching a specific property? Local records and planning tips
Optional background for your purchase or renovation. You do not need to complete this research to book an inspection.
Confirm who holds the property’s records.
Begin with the exact parcel and the Town of Windermere’s Building Department for a property within town limits. For an address outside the town, ask the responsible county or municipality. A familiar mailing name alone should not determine the office you contact.
Town of Windermere Building DepartmentGive waterfront features their own attention.
The main house and a shoreline structure answer different inspection questions. Tell us about any dock, lift or seawall when discussing the quote. We can explain the available services and recommended specialist follow-up without suggesting that every waterfront feature is included.
Explore this inspection’s scopeUse the findings in your next conversation.
Photographs and clear explanations connect observations to the home you are buying. Discuss the report with your agent or builder, identify any recommended specialist follow-up, and decide which questions or requests to raise. Findings support that conversation without promising repairs or concessions.
Understand the inspection and next stepsA home among the lakes, with its own questions.
Windermere’s town resources include the Butler Chain of Lakes, lakes management and building information. The incorporated town and the wider Windermere mailing area need to be distinguished when researching a property.
If waterfront features are part of your plans, identify them separately from the main home. A dock, lift or seawall can need its own records and a specialist scope; it should not disappear into a general description of the house.
