Trusted Home Inspections in Orlando, Florida
Known as “The City Beautiful,” Orlando is the heart of Central Florida — a fast-growing metro built around the shores of Lake Eola, the theme-park corridor of Walt Disney World and Universal, and the booming “Medical City” of Lake Nona to the southeast. From the brick streets and 1920s bungalows of College Park, Colonialtown, and Delaney Park, to lakefront estates in Windermere and Winter Park, to the sprawling new subdivisions rising across Lake Nona and Horizon West, Orlando's housing is as varied as its neighborhoods. And Orlando is home turf for Closer Look Inspections — a family-owned inspection company that has served the greater Orlando metro since 2015.
Closer Look Inspections is truly a family operation. Keith Wilson leads every inspection as a Certified Master Inspector — the highest credential in the industry — while Carol Wilson runs the office and keeps clients informed every step of the way. When you call Closer Look, you're not routed through a call center or handed to a subcontractor; you deal directly with the people who inspect your home. Because we live and work here, we know Orlando's neighborhoods, its housing stock, and its climate the way only a local inspector can.
What sets Closer Look apart is everything included in a single, thorough inspection. Keith is a Certified Master Inspector and a Florida Licensed Mold Assessor, and every full inspection includes FAA-licensed drone roof inspection, infrared thermal imaging, and wind mitigation and 4-point insurance reports at no additional charge — reports other inspectors routinely charge $150 to $300 for separately. Your complete digital report is delivered the same day through the Scribe platform, with color-coded priorities and a built-in repair request builder, and our team answers the phone live, 24/7, with scheduling typically within 48 hours.
Central Florida's climate is hard on homes, and Orlando sees the full range of it. High year-round humidity drives moisture intrusion and mold, summer thunderstorms and hurricane season batter roofs, and the intense Florida sun ages shingles from above while heat and moisture work on them from below. Add Orlando's mix of century-old homes and brand-new construction — older houses may hide polybutylene plumbing or dated electrical panels, while new builds can carry their own workmanship issues — and every Orlando home has concerns that a trained, local inspector knows exactly where to look for.
That's exactly why Orlando buyers, sellers, and homeowners choose Closer Look Inspections. You get a local, family-owned team led by a Certified Master Inspector, the most complete inspection in the market with drone, infrared, and insurance reports included, and honest, same-day answers you can act on. Whether you're buying near Lake Nona, selling in Winter Park, maintaining a bungalow in College Park, or closing on a new build in Horizon West, call or text Closer Look Inspections at 407-319-4608 and work with the inspector right here in your own community.

Every full inspection includes FAA-licensed drone roof inspection, infrared thermal imaging, a wind mitigation insurance report, and a 4-point insurance report — along with structural, water-intrusion, and pest/wood-rot evaluation. Many inspectors charge $150 to $300 for the wind mitigation and 4-point reports alone.
Your full digital report is delivered the same day through the Scribe platform, with color-coded priority labels, photos, a summary page, and a built-in repair request builder. WDO (termite) and any lab-based results may follow shortly after due to third-party processing.
Absolutely. Orlando has everything from 1920s bungalows in College Park and Colonialtown to brand-new builds in Lake Nona and Horizon West. Our Certified Master Inspector is experienced with both — older homes get careful attention to plumbing, electrical, and moisture, while new construction gets phase and pre-close inspections to catch builder defects.
We encourage it. Being on-site — especially for the final walkthrough — lets you see any issues firsthand and ask questions in real time. If you can't attend the whole inspection, the last 30 to 60 minutes is the most valuable time to join.
Yes — most buyers do. The report's built-in repair request builder lets you select findings and generate a clean, professional request to send to the seller's agent, which buyers regularly use to negotiate repairs, credits, or price reductions.
The fastest way is to call or text 407-319-4608 — live-answered 24/7 — or book online through our scheduler. We'll confirm the details, answer your questions, and get your inspection on the calendar, usually within 48 hours.
