Flooring Inspection Service – CFI Certified
CFI Certified provides independent flooring inspection services across Florida, examining tile, wood, luxury vinyl plank, and carpet installations. The firm positions itself around independent, unbiased, expert floor inspections, delivering reports that document identified problems and their underlying sources rather than recommending or selling replacement materials. It holds CFIU Certification for flooring inspections, and the website indicates the business was established by Mario Avila in 2020.
Coverage includes Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, Tampa, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and Central Florida, spanning much of the Gulf Coast region and the interior of the state. The inspection process follows a clear three-step methodology. First, clients schedule an appointment by phone or email. Second, the inspector gathers the flooring history, conducts the on-site inspection, documents findings, takes measurements, diagnoses issues, performs tests, and photographs the problems. Third, the client receives a comprehensive written flooring inspection report that includes thermal imaging photographs to support the findings.
The firm addresses a range of common flooring failures, including floor buckling, carpet fraying, general flooring damage, tile and grout cracking, uneven tile, and lifting luxury vinyl plank edges. By identifying not only the symptom but the source of each problem, the inspections are presented as a basis for resolving disputes or determining appropriate repairs. The use of thermal imaging and structured testing distinguishes the reports from a simple visual walk-through.
Because the service is independent and does not involve selling flooring, its reports are framed as impartial assessments suitable for homeowners, contractors, or others needing a neutral evaluation. Contact is available by email at mario@cficertified.com and by phone at 941-287-7524, and inspections can be scheduled through the website’s contact page. Serving the Sarasota, Tampa, and Central Florida markets, CFI Certified offers a specialized, certified inspection option focused solely on diagnosing flooring conditions.
