Home Inspection in Sunrise, Florida
InspectionNow delivers professional home inspections in Sunrise, Florida — a large, centrally located Broward County city that stretches from the Sawgrass Expressway in the west to the neighborhoods surrounding Sawgrass Mills and BB&T Center in the east. Sunrise is home to a broad spectrum of residential properties, ranging from the affordable single-family homes and townhome communities near Oakland Park Boulevard to the larger lakefront properties in neighborhoods like Sunrise Lakes, The Pines at Sunrise, and Welleby. Much of the city was developed between the mid-1960s and the early 1990s, with additional pockets of newer construction near the Sawgrass International Corporate Park and along Nob Hill Road. The result is a housing inventory that spans multiple decades, construction methods, and levels of maintenance. InspectionNow serves all of Sunrise and the broader Tri-County area, including Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
Sunrise’s size and age diversity mean that two homes on the same street can present very different inspection profiles. A 1970s-era single-family home near Sunset Strip may have completely different concerns than a 2005 townhome near Sawgrass Mills. Our inspectors have the experience to evaluate every type of property in Sunrise, from the oldest original construction to the most recent developments.
Our Services in Sunrise
Pre-Purchase Home Inspections: Our flagship service — a detailed evaluation of the home’s structure, roof, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC, foundation, insulation, windows, doors, and major appliances. Learn more about our pre-purchase inspections.
Wind Mitigation Inspections: A wind mitigation inspection identifies your home’s hurricane-resistant construction features and is the primary tool for obtaining insurance premium discounts in Florida. Sunrise homes with hip roofs, secondary water barriers, and properly secured roof decking often see significant savings.
4-Point Inspections: A focused review of the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC — the four systems insurance companies evaluate before issuing a policy on a home over 20 years old. Given the age of most Sunrise housing, this is a near-universal requirement. See what a 4-point inspection covers.
Mold and Moisture Testing: Sunrise homes — particularly condos with shared walls, older single-family properties with flat roofs, and units in the Sunrise Lakes community — are vulnerable to moisture intrusion. Our mold air sampling and moisture inspections uncover hidden problems that a visual walkthrough cannot detect.
Roof Certifications: A certified assessment of the roof’s condition and estimated remaining service life, frequently requested by insurance underwriters and as part of real estate closings in Sunrise.
Commercial Inspections: We inspect commercial properties throughout Sunrise, including retail and office spaces near Sawgrass Mills, along Commercial Boulevard, and in the Sawgrass International Corporate Park area.

Why Sunrise Homeowners Choose InspectionNow
Sunrise homeowners choose InspectionNow because we handle the full scope of the inspection process in a single visit. Our bundled approach — Wind Mitigation and 4-Point included with every pre-purchase inspection at no extra cost — eliminates the need to coordinate multiple inspectors and multiple appointments during a transaction that already has enough moving parts.
Every inspection report is delivered within 24 hours of the appointment. Reports are organized by system, include detailed photographs of each finding, and are written in clear language that makes the results easy to understand, whether you are a first-time buyer or an experienced investor. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make smart decisions on your timeline.
Aerial drone photography is included with every inspection, providing a thorough assessment of the roof surface and upper exterior without the need to physically walk on aging tile or shingle systems. Thermal imaging reveals what is happening behind finished surfaces — moisture in walls, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots that would otherwise go unnoticed until they became expensive repairs.
InspectionNow is licensed and insured — Florida Home Inspector License HI2355, NACHI Certified 11053111. We serve all of Sunrise and the surrounding communities across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties.
Common Issues We Find in Sunrise Homes
Sunrise’s wide range of construction eras produces a correspondingly broad set of inspection findings. In the older neighborhoods built during the 1960s and 1970s — including many of the original Sunrise Golf Village and Sunrise Lakes units — we frequently encounter flat roofs with multiple layers of coating and patching that are structurally past their useful life. Electrical systems in these older properties often include outdated panels, with Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco brands being the most common concerns. Both carry documented safety issues and are typically flagged by insurance carriers.
Polybutylene plumbing appears regularly in Sunrise homes from the late 1970s through the early 1990s. This gray plastic piping has a well-known failure history, and most insurance companies consider it uninsurable. In the condo communities, where polybutylene was installed as part of the original building plumbing, replacement can be particularly complex and costly.
Moisture intrusion is a recurring finding across all property types in Sunrise. Older single-family homes commonly show water penetration around window frames, at stucco-to-soffit transitions, and in pool and patio enclosures. In condo and townhome units, shared walls and aging roof membranes create pathways for moisture that may not be visible from inside the unit until significant damage has already occurred. HVAC systems in the 15-to-25-year range are another standard finding — still functional but operating with diminished efficiency and an increasing likelihood of component failure.
