Mediterranean Revival homes along the Hillsborough River near USF. Clay and his team bring a builder's eye to Temple Terrace homes.
Temple Terrace is a small city along the Hillsborough River, just northeast of Tampa and next to the University of South Florida. Founded in the 1920s, it's known for its Mediterranean Revival homes, tree-lined streets, golf course, and riverfront setting, along with mid-century neighborhoods and homes popular with university faculty, families, and investors. Tampa Bay Inspections, led by Clay Schleitwiler, CMI®, a Florida Licensed Home Inspector (#HI4562), serves home buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Temple Terrace.
Historic and established homes are full of character, but they also come with age. Original wiring, older plumbing, tile and older roofs, and additions built over many decades all deserve a careful look, and many insurers will require a four-point inspection and roof certification before writing a policy. Homes near the river also deserve attention to drainage and signs of past water intrusion. Clay's construction background gives him a deep understanding of how these homes were built and where problems tend to hide.
Investors buying rentals near USF benefit from clear findings that help them plan repairs, and a wind mitigation inspection can help any Temple Terrace homeowner manage insurance costs. 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 Temple Terrace inspection.
