What is your primary product or service?
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Before you make the decision to buy, we will carefully inspect the general integrity, functionality, and safety of the home and its components. The inspection covers everything from plumbing, heating, and electrical systems to doors, windows, walls, and ceilings.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Originally from the Chicago area, I acquired a love for Florida in my early teens and moved to the Tampa Bay area in 1980 to attend HCC. I later moved to NJ where he met his wife, Lisa, and owned and operated a highly successful business that focused on customer service. I have three wonderful children, Danielle (in NJ), Lee and Sierra, and two dogs, Kobie and Mitzie. I have always respected the natural environment and enjoys hiking, camping, fishing, boating, and of course, strolling our beautiful Florida beaches.
I have been in the service industry for most of my life. After finishing my environmental education and inspection training, I founded Detailed Inspection Services in 2001, performing residential and commercial environmental and structural inspections for property buyers and concerned owners. I am a Florida State Licensed Mold Assessor and Home Inspector. With over 30 of years of construction/ inspection experience, and having inspected thousands of properties, I have found mold to be a major issue in today’s indoor environment, particularly in Florida. In 2014, Dan decided to specialize in indoor environmental issues, primarily mold, because of its negative effects on human health (ExpertMoldTest.com). My philosophy has always been to develop his company by providing his clients with the very best in customer service and satisfaction. This is always my top priority. I also enjoy meeting and getting to know all of my customers.

A Thorough Inspection of Property with Your Best Interest in Mind
When you are buying a home, you want to be fully aware of its condition. Even if the property is new, it still has its weak points, and some of them may cost a lot to fix. Don’t let costly surprises, discovered after you move in, ruin you the pleasure of owning your brand new home! With our Detailed Inspection service, you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Our Inspection Services Include:
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Before you make the decision to buy, we will carefully inspect the general integrity, functionality, and safety of the home and its components. The inspection covers everything from plumbing, heating, and electrical systems to doors, windows, walls, and ceilings.
Infrared Camera Inspections
infrared-camera-inspectionUsing an Infrared Camera, we will inspect the property to identify areas with excessive moisture or heat loss, detecting the problems that are invisible to the naked eye. An infrared inspection is a non-disruptive way to view moisture issues. Moisture is the cause for Mold, Decay, Termites and a variety of other structural problems. While you may not be aware that certain spots on your ceiling, walls or floors are damp, we can help identify that during a moisture inspection.
Moisture Inspections
Moisture is the source of major property problems, such as mold, decay of construction materials, and insects. While you may not be aware that certain spots on your ceiling are damp, we will identify that during a moisture inspection.
Mold Inspections
mold-inspectionMold is a common problem in warm and humid climates like ours, and it presents a serious risk to your family’s health. We have detected mold in hundreds of homes and helped the owners find out about the problem before the harm was done.
Air Quality Testing for Mold
AirBorne Mold spores are not visible to the eye. By taking several air samples and having them lab tested, we check if there are mold spores in the air you breathe and ensure your home is safe again after the clean-up.
How It Works
The inspector will evaluate the attic, the plumbing, heating, and electrical systems, chimneys, fireplaces, stairs, windows, decks, walls, ceiling, and all other components of the property. If you want to be present, you will be given a detailed explanation of all the findings. A typical inspection will take around 3 hours or more, depending on the property.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I work out of the Pinellas County and cover the state of Florida. I do not have any plans to open additional locations or to hire additional inspectors. I do all of the inspections and write all of the reports, this way I can control the customer service.
