Who inspects
Licensed inspectors who used to build
Bell & Arrow was founded in 2014 by two inspectors with construction backgrounds, which shows up in how we describe a problem: what it is, whether it matters, and roughly what it costs to address. We are licensed by the state of Florida, carry errors and omissions coverage, and we walk the roof whenever it is safe to do so rather than looking from the ground.
•State licensed and E&O insured
•Roofs walked when safe, not just viewed from a ladder
•We take your call after the report to walk through it
Reviews
From buyers and agents
“The thermal camera found a slow leak behind a bathroom wall that nobody would have seen. That finding paid for the inspection ten times over.”
Priscilla M., Buyer, Seminole Heights
“Report was in my inbox by eight that night with the contingency deadline two days out. Huge.”
Tanner J., Buyer, Riverview
“He spent twenty minutes on the phone explaining which findings actually mattered and which were noise.”
Rebecca N., First time buyer
FAQ
Inspection questions
How long does an inspection take?
Three to four hours for a typical Tampa home, longer for larger houses or homes with crawl spaces. You are welcome to attend, and the last thirty minutes is the most useful time to be there while we walk the findings.
What does the inspection not cover?
We inspect visible and accessible components, so we do not open walls, move heavy stored items, or dismantle equipment. Sewer lines, mold testing, and pest inspection are separate specialties, and we will tell you when a finding warrants calling one of those specialists.
What is a four point inspection and do I need one?
It is a short report on roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC that most Florida insurers require to write or renew a policy on a home over about thirty years old. If your insurer asked for it, you need it, and it is much cheaper than a full inspection.
Is a wind mitigation inspection worth the cost?
For most Tampa homes, yes. It documents roof attachment, shape, and opening protection that insurers give credits for, and the annual savings frequently exceed the $125 fee several times over.
