GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
Does the report check Hillsborough County flood elevation requirements?
Yes. Hillsborough County has significant AE and VE flood zones along Tampa Bay and interior rivers. Our $250 report flags visible flood-elevation deficiencies and identifies items that need surveyor documentation before inspection.
How fast will I get results for a Hillsborough County project?
Reports are delivered within 24 hours of receiving your photos and open-items list. Most Hillsborough County single-family projects are returned same day. Commercial or multi-family projects may use the full 24-hour window.
What wind zone does Hillsborough County fall in?
Hillsborough County is in FBC Wind Zone 3 with ultimate design wind speeds around 150 mph. Our report checks roof connections, sheathing attachment, and opening protection against these wind-speed requirements.
Can the report help with a Hillsborough County re-inspection after corrections?
Absolutely. Send photos of each corrected item and we will verify they meet current FBC and Hillsborough County requirements. The $250 flat fee applies whether it is an initial review or a correction follow-up.
Do I need separate reports for projects inside Tampa versus unincorporated Hillsborough County?
Each project site gets its own $250 report. Tampa and unincorporated Hillsborough share the FBC baseline but differ on local amendments and inspection workflows, so we tailor findings to the exact jurisdiction.
