What Green Foot actually inspects in West Palm Beach
Written from field inspections by Fabian Fernandez, CMI® (Florida license HI7640). Updated September 19, 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
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
West-side suburban CBS: first or second reroof, HVAC replacements, and opening protection after window upgrades.
Palm Beach island next door
Palm Beach island sits next door. We inspect houses and condos there as a nearby stop. Call to schedule. That is not this page’s east-of-I-95 vs west-of-I-95 split inside the City of West Palm Beach.
Waterway lots as site context
Downtown and waterway lots are site context. We inspect the house, not seawalls or docks on the waterway.
What a West Palm Beach inspection includes — and what it does not
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.
Not in this inspection
Seawalls, docks, and barns are outside a home inspection and outside our insurance inspections. Palm Beach County has no Miami-Dade or Broward-style 40-year recertification; condominiums three stories or more follow Florida’s statewide milestone inspection (Fla. Stat. 553.899), which is an engineer or architect filing—not a house walk-through. Specialized testing and engineering are other professionals.
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 We do not quote a premium dollar savings.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.
