Established Pinellas neighborhoods around Lake Seminole, minutes from the beaches. Clay and his team inspect Seminole homes with care.
Seminole is an established community in west-central Pinellas County, between Largo and St. Petersburg and just minutes from the Gulf beaches. It's centered around Lake Seminole Park and filled with neighborhoods of single-family homes built mostly from the 1960s through the 1980s, along with condos, villas, and waterfront properties. Tampa Bay Inspections, led by Clay Schleitwiler, CMI®, a Florida Licensed Home Inspector (#HI4562), serves home buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Seminole.
Homes of this age often have roofs, AC systems, water heaters, and electrical panels that are nearing replacement, which is why many insurers ask for a four-point inspection and roof certification. Some homes from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s were built with polybutylene supply pipe, which insurers often flag. Properties near the water face storm surge risks, so signs of past water intrusion deserve a careful look, and waterfront homes may have seawalls and docks worth evaluating.
Every Seminole homeowner can benefit from a wind mitigation inspection to help manage insurance costs, and pools 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 Seminole inspection.

"Extremely thorough, knowledgeable and professional. You will not go wrong in protecting your investment with using Tampa Bay Inspections"
"Clay is extremely receptive, detailed and patient. I would absolutely recommend this company to any one needing a home inspection. He went above and beyond what we were expecting."
"Sellers were replacing the roof as part of the agreement and we asked him to go back to make sure it was done properly. Surprise, it was not. So he provided a report with photos to present to the agents and sellers just in time prior to settlement."
