What Green Foot inspects in West Palm Beach

Written from field inspections by Fabian Fernandez, CMI® (Florida license HI7640). Updated August 16, 2026.

East of I-95 in West Palm Beach you are often in older houses, smaller lots, and downtown-adjacent stock. West of that, the city is suburban CBS and HOAs.

What inspectors commonly find in West Palm Beach homes

Historic and older east-side houses: roofs, knob-and-tube or aging panels where they remain, plumbing, additions, and moisture. This is 4-point territory when the carrier asks.

West-side suburban CBS: first or second reroof, HVAC replacements, and opening protection after window upgrades.

Palm Beach island sits next door. We inspect houses and condos there as a nearby stop. Call to schedule.

East historic vs west suburban

East, historic and in-town

Full home inspection. 4-point where needed. We inspect the house, not seawalls or docks on the waterway.

West, suburban CBS

House systems and HOA communities. Wind mitigation documents what was installed after replacements.

4-point inspections are available in West Palm Beach where insurers require them—especially on older east-side housing. Wind mitigation is Florida’s Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form (OIR-B1-1802); inspections on or after April 1, 2026 use the revised form. We do not quote a premium dollar savings. We do not inspect barns.
