Home » About Us

Hi, I’m Tim, owner of T. McKee Home Inspections LLC, and a certified inspector with a lifelong commitment to safety, precision, and attention to detail. I retired after 27 years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard, where I worked as an avionics technician specializing in aircraft maintenance and quality assurance inspections. My entire career was built on ensuring systems were reliable, secure, and up to standard- because lives depended on it.

Now, I bring that same meticulous mindset to home inspections. Whether you’re buying your first home or preparing to sell, I’ll give you a thorough, unbiased evaluation so you can make confident decisions. I take pride in being professional, punctual, and clear in my communication- no confusing jargon, just straight answers and dependable service.

Let’s make sure your home is safe, sound, and ready for what’s next.

As a Florida state-licensed Home Inspector, I am held to the state’s standards of operation. Below is a list of items Florida requires us to inspect. Although these are the minimum standards, we strive to exceed them to provide our clients with the best possible service.

Definitions and Scope

A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of a residential property (as delineated below), performed for a fee, which is designed to identify defects within specific systems and components defined by these Standards that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector. The scope of work may be modified by the Client and Inspector prior to the inspection process.
The home inspection is based on the observations made on the date of the inspection, and not a prediction of future conditions.
The home inspection will not reveal every issue that exists or ever could exist, but only those material defects observed on the date of the inspection.
A material defect is a specific issue with a system or component of a residential property that may have a significant, adverse impact on the value of the property, or that poses an unreasonable risk to people. The fact that a system or component is near, at, or beyond the end of its normal, useful life is not, in itself, a material defect.
A home inspection report shall identify, in written format, defects within specific systems and components defined by these Standards that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector. Inspection reports may include additional comments and recommendations.
