Jacob Mermin Inspections will inspect your new home prior to your one (1) year builder warranty expires and the builder is no longer responsible.

“ I had just had Jacob Mermin Inspections at my house for a mold problem, so I asked him about his Warranty Inspection because my builder’s one year warranty was about to expire. I was glad that I made the appointment because he found a few small cosmetic problems and one large roofing problem. He took some digital pictures and wrote a concise report and I passed it along to my builder. My builder sent someone out and confirmed the problems and had them repaired immediately. I am so glad I spent the money to have the inspection done. It probably saved me thousands of dollars in future roofing problems. I highly recommend having Jacob Mermin Inspections do a Warranty Inspection before your warranty expires” -Carol B Ft. Myers, FL
