A charming bayfront town known for its historic spa and walkable Main Street. Clay and his team inspect Safety Harbor homes with care.
Safety Harbor is a charming small city on the western shore of Old Tampa Bay, known for its historic mineral springs and resort spa, walkable Main Street, live oaks, and Philippe Park. Its homes range from older cottages and bungalows near downtown to waterfront properties and established neighborhoods. Tampa Bay Inspections, led by Clay Schleitwiler, CMI®, a Florida Licensed Home Inspector (#HI4562), serves home buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Safety Harbor.
Older Safety Harbor homes often carry original wiring, older plumbing, and roofs that lead insurers to require a four-point inspection and roof certification. Bayfront properties face storm surge and flooding risks, so signs of past water intrusion and the condition of seawalls and docks deserve a careful look. Mature live oaks can also affect roofs, gutters, and drainage. Clay's construction background helps him understand how older homes were built and where problems tend to hide.
Every Safety Harbor homeowner can benefit from a wind mitigation inspection to help manage insurance costs. Pools and screen enclosures can be inspected at 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 Safety Harbor inspection.
