He explained his process and findings in understandable terms. He wore shoe covers while in the house and accepted the occasional “assistance” of one of our cats. Would definitely recommend! - 5/5 — Anonymous Dawn, Brian, and Payton are THE best in the business! They take their time and do the job right. Thoroughly and knowledgeable from you to bottom. - 5/5 — Anonymous Since I was purchasing a new home, I wanted a really good inspection company to perform a pre-purchase inspection. Home prices are not cheap and I wanted to know the good, the bad and the ugly about my potential purchase. So, I did my research to find an inspector that had a GC license as well as the best certification/qualifications as a master inspector for home inspectors and I am so glad I found OSI Inspection Services. From the moment you call and speak with Dawn to Brian and Payton performing the inspections to receiving your report - everything they do is very professional. OSI is not a company that comes in, does the inspection and leaves - no, they take the time to go over every aspect of their report, showing you pictures, videos and educating you on areas of potential concern or items which need to be addressed. I was able to go back to the seller and have them make minor repairs (by a licensed professional), which were needed for my 4 point inspection/wind mitigation report. OSI was always on time, very professional and the amount of time they spend at the site, going over their findings and any questions - you can tell, they take pride in their work. I am so glad I found OSI! - 5/5 — Anonymous we used OSI inspection services 15 years ago on a house in Saint Pete and due to their meticulous assessment we passed on that property. We are now in 2025 back in Saint Pete and ready to buy again and lucky for us. OSI was still in business and were able to help us out.. Still the same awesome service, communication, A Plus and just the overall feeling of confidence in what they’re looking at for the good of me the customer. I highly recommend OSI inspection services! Hi baby - 5/5 — Anonymous I recently had the pleasure of working with OSI Inspection Services for a home inspection, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Brian and Payton were incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. They took the time to explain every detail of the inspection, ensuring I understood the condition of the property fully. Their report was detailed and easy to understand, complete with photos and recommendations. The customer service was exceptional as Dawn was able to fit the inspection in my contract's inspection window with ample time to make a decision on the property. I felt confident and informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to OSI, I feel secure in my decision to move forward with my home purchase. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and comprehensive home inspection! ## FAQ **Q: What service areas does OSI Inspection Services cover for home inspections in Florida?** A: OSI Inspection Services provides home inspections, 4-point insurance inspections, wind mitigation inspections, and more throughout St. Petersburg, FL, and the greater Tampa Bay area. As a locally operated family business since 1989, we focus on residential and commercial properties in this region to ensure thorough evaluations tailored to local building standards and hurricane-prone conditions. Our state-licensed inspectors are equipped to handle inspections efficiently within these areas. **Q: What types of home inspection services does OSI Inspection Services specialize in?** A: We offer standard home inspections, which are limited non-invasive visual examinations of a home's condition, along with 4-point insurance inspections covering roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Additional specialties include wind mitigation inspections to assess features that mitigate wind damage and potentially lower insurance premiums, as well as commercial property inspections, pre-listing inspections, draw inspections for new construction, and pre-delivery punch-out inspections. These services help buyers and sellers identify deficiencies and ensure compliance with Florida's building codes. **Q: Are OSI Inspection Services inspectors licensed in Florida?** A: Yes, our inspections are conducted by state-licensed home inspectors, building inspectors, and building contractors with decades of construction experience. Unlike many home inspectors in Florida who lack an apprenticeship requirement, our team, including father-son duo Brian and Payton Cesare, brings firsthand industry knowledge to every evaluation. This licensing ensures accurate assessments of structural and system components during home and commercial inspections. **Q: How does OSI Inspection Services help with insurance-related inspections in St. Petersburg?** A: We perform 4-point insurance inspections to review the four major systems—roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—for homeowners insurance underwriting, which can help secure or maintain coverage. Wind mitigation inspections verify structural and nonstructural features that lessen damage from extreme winds, often resulting in reduced premiums as seen in client testimonials where savings exceeded $1,000. These inspections can be bundled with standard home inspections to provide comprehensive due diligence before purchase or sale. **Q: What experience does the OSI Inspection Services team have in home inspections?** A: As a family-owned business operating since 1989, OSI Inspection Services is led by third-generation contractor Brian Cesare and his son Payton, who has over seven years of hands-on experience and is individually licensed as a home inspector in Florida. Their extensive background in construction allows for detailed identification of potential issues, from hidden defects in investment properties to minor imperfections in new builds. Clients consistently praise our thorough reports with photos and clear explanations, helping avoid costly surprises. **Q: What is the process for a standard home inspection with OSI Inspection Services?** A: Our standard home inspection involves a limited, non-invasive visual examination of the home's accessible components, including structure, systems, and safety features, typically completed before a sale or purchase. The father-son team conducts the on-site inspection, discusses findings with you in detail, and provides a comprehensive written report with photos within a timely manner. This process can include bundled services like 4-point or wind mitigation inspections to educate clients on repairs and insurance savings. **Q: Do you offer pre-listing inspections for sellers in the Tampa Bay area?** A: Yes, our pre-listing inspections identify deficiencies in the home before listing it on the market, allowing sellers to address issues proactively and streamline the selling process. Performed by our licensed inspectors, these evaluations cover the same thorough visual checks as standard inspections and can include a 4-point insurance inspection if needed. This service helps Tampa Bay homeowners present their property in the best condition, potentially avoiding negotiation delays during closing. ## Online Presence - Website: https://osi2inspect.com/ - Google Maps: https://maps.google.com/?cid=4381460280907923637&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA --- Profile: https://contractorlink.pro/osi-inspection
