Established neighborhoods around Lake Carroll with mature trees and mid-century homes. Clay and his team know what to look for.
Carrollwood is an established community in north Tampa, built largely from the 1960s through the 1980s around Lake Carroll, with mature oak trees, golf course neighborhoods, and a strong sense of place. Its homes have aged well, but many are now old enough that their major systems deserve a careful look. Tampa Bay Inspections, led by Clay Schleitwiler, CMI®, a Florida Licensed Home Inspector (#HI4562), serves home buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Carrollwood.
Homes from this era often have original or aging electrical panels, older plumbing, and roofs and AC systems nearing replacement, which is why many insurers require a four-point inspection and roof certification for Carrollwood homes. Some homes built from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s used polybutylene supply pipe, which insurers often flag. Mature trees can also affect roofs, gutters, and drainage.
A wind mitigation inspection can help Carrollwood homeowners offset insurance costs by documenting qualifying features. Pools, screen enclosures, and irrigation systems are common in Carrollwood as well, and they can be inspected during the same visit. Clay and his team walk clients through their findings, explain everything in plain English, and deliver a detailed report with photos, typically the same day. Call 813-476-1561 to schedule your Carrollwood inspection.
