About Home Inspector Proz
Dedicated to Clarity, Honesty, and Homeowner Confidence.
I’m Nikolay Barkalin, Certified Home Inspector and owner of Home Inspector Proz. My mission is to provide clear, accurate, and reliable inspections that help South Florida homeowners, buyers, and agents make confident decisions. Every inspection is delivered with honesty, professionalism, and respect for the families and properties we serve.
Who We Are and What We Stand For
Home Inspector Proz was built on a simple foundation: every client deserves clarity, accuracy, and honest guidance. With deep experience in South Florida homes and insurance requirements, we support buyers, sellers, investors, and agents across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties. I approach every inspection with professionalism, advanced tools, and genuine care—ensuring every client feels informed, supported, and confident from start to finish.
Our Story
At Home Inspector Proz, we believe a home inspection is more than a checklist — it’s a moment that can shape someone’s future. Whether a buyer is preparing to make a major investment, a seller wants a smooth transaction, or an agent needs dependable support, those moments deserve clarity and confidence grounded in expertise.
I started this company after seeing too many real estate deals collapse due to confusing reports, unclear communication, or unnecessarily dramatic findings. Clients were overwhelmed. Agents were frustrated. Important information was buried or misunderstood. I knew there was a better way to help people navigate these critical decisions.
My goal was simple: build an inspection service that puts people first.
A service built on communication, patience, and honesty — not fear, pressure, or jargon. That approach now guides everything we do, whether it’s a full home inspection, a required 4-point inspection, or a wind mitigation report for insurance.
We aim to create an inspection experience that feels different:
- Clear, not complicated
- Calm, not dramatic
- Supportive, not transactional
Whether you're a first-time buyer, an investor comparing properties, or a seller preparing for market, we take the time to explain what matters and why — so you always know where things stand. For clients reviewing repair requests or navigating insurance requirements, linking to accurate services like our roof certification ensures you get the documentation you need without delays.
Home Inspector Proz is built on integrity, professionalism, and a commitment to South Florida homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. I am fully licensed in the state of Florida and carry both general liability and E&O insurance for your protection. Beyond meeting state requirements, I follow ongoing education and industry best practices to ensure my inspections reflect current standards. Whether you're buying, selling, or renewing insurance, you can feel confident knowing your inspection is performed by a qualified, insured professional who takes your safety and peace of mind seriously
Yes — every inspection is conducted personally by me to ensure consistent quality, accuracy, and attention to detail. I don’t outsource inspections or send subcontractors, because I believe trust should never be handed off. When you hire Home Inspector Proz, you know exactly who is evaluating your home, explaining the findings, and standing behind the report. This personal approach helps ensure a higher level of care and clarity for every client.
My approach is built on clear communication, calm professionalism, and a commitment to helping clients understand their homes without fear or confusion. I use modern tools, follow detailed standards, and deliver same-day reports written in plain English. Instead of overwhelming you with technical language, I focus on what truly matters for safety, repairs, and negotiations. The goal is simple: to give you clarity and confidence so you can make informed decisions.
Yes. If repairs have been completed, or if another inspector left you uncertain, I offer re-inspections and second-opinion evaluations. These appointments focus on confirming whether issues were properly addressed or clarifying unclear findings from a previous report. Every second-opinion inspection is approached with fresh eyes and honest, unbiased guidance. The goal is to help you feel confident moving forward, especially during tight timelines or important negotiations.
You’re welcome to reach out anytime — even days or weeks after the inspection. I’m happy to walk you through the report, explain anything unclear, or discuss repair recommendations in plain language. Many clients call back during negotiations or when reviewing contractor quotes, and I’m always here to help. You’re never left on your own. Once the inspection is complete, you still have full access to guidance and support.
