A one-of-a-kind bayfront community in south Hillsborough. Clay and his team inspect Gibsonton homes, manufactured homes, and waterfront properties.
Gibsonton is a small, one-of-a-kind community on the eastern shore of Tampa Bay in south Hillsborough County. Famous as the longtime winter home of circus and carnival performers, it's known locally as “Gibtown,” and today it offers affordable living with a mix of older homes, manufactured homes, waterfront properties along the bay and creeks, and newer construction. Tampa Bay Inspections, led by Clay Schleitwiler, CMI®, a Florida Licensed Home Inspector (#HI4562), serves home buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Gibsonton.
Gibsonton's varied housing calls for varied inspections. Manufactured homes need careful attention to supports, tie-downs, skirting, and under-floor plumbing. Older homes often need a four-point inspection and roof certification for insurance. Properties near the bay and creeks face flooding and storm surge risks, so signs of past water intrusion deserve a careful look, and waterfront homes may have seawalls or docks worth evaluating.
A wind mitigation inspection can help any Gibsonton homeowner document features that may lower insurance premiums, and investors buying here benefit from clear findings that help them plan repairs. 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 Gibsonton inspection.
