About
Value to Our Community & Clients
ACI Inspections Inc. is a Home Inspection Service which primarily works with experienced and luxury property buyers.
Our clientele tend to be discerning buyers who are looking for a truly expert inspector because they understand the potential liability of finding unexpectedly high cost property repairs only after they move in. Top producing and luxury realtors refer us to prevent unprofessional inspections with inaccurate inspection reports.
We have the expensive tools and software needed to provide accurate and non-exaggerated information that helps the client understand real problems with the property. This provides reliable, accurate, and authoritative findings and puts small problems in their proper perspective.
Our very specialized inspections prevent big issues from going unnoticed and coming back to us or the referring Realtor down the road once the client is living in the home.
Top professionals should only refer top professionals.
As ASHI Certified Inspectors, we have the highest level of expertise and competence in South Florida. We provide a huge range of practical inspection services, performed by those with the highest qualifications in their industries, using the highest-end technology and tools. Our prices are significantly lower than hiring these services separately or even worse, not knowing to have them done at all.
