Home Inspector Delray Beach, FL

The most common Delray Beach issues are coastal-climate related: salt-air corrosion on AC condensers and electrical panels, roof tile damage from sun and salt exposure, sealant failure around windows and doors, and humidity-driven moisture intrusion in older homes east of I-95. In condo properties we frequently flag aging in-unit plumbing and balcony railing concerns. Newer subdivisions west of I-95 typically show fewer climate issues but more builder-grade installation defects.

Yes — Delray Beach is in a Florida high-wind insurance zone, and a wind mitigation inspection documents the features carriers apply credits for. Our InterNACHI Certified Wind Mitigation Inspector completes the official OIR-B1-1802 form Florida insurers require. Carriers set credits based on those findings, and the amount depends on your carrier and your home. Wind mitigation inspections are $150.

Mold assessments start at $550.
