Certified home inspections throughout West Palm Beach — same-day HD report, free 4-point and wind mitigation included with every full inspection.
West Palm Beach, FL · (561) 515-0113
TruView Inspections has performed thousands of inspections across Palm Beach County, with deep familiarity with West Palm Beach's diverse housing stock — from Intracoastal waterfront condos on the downtown corridor and grand historic homes in El Cid and Flamingo Park to newer developments north of Okeechobee and the condo towers lining Flagler Drive. Our certified inspectors know exactly what to look for in every West Palm Beach property type.
West Palm Beach sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, creating a real estate market where waterfront exposure, historic construction, and Florida's evolving insurance landscape all intersect in every transaction. Waterfront corrosion, pre-Andrew electrical and plumbing systems in the historic core, aging condo towers along Flagler Drive, and Palm Beach County's High Velocity Hurricane Zone insurance requirements mean the quality of your inspection has a direct impact on your negotiating position, your insurance options, and your long-term cost of ownership. TruView delivers a same-day Spectora report with HD photos, 360-degree images, and video, plus your free 4-point and wind mitigation included.
Schedule Your West Palm Beach InspectionLocal Market Knowledge
West Palm Beach's Intracoastal frontage, century-old historic neighborhoods, active condo market, and Palm Beach County insurance landscape create inspection challenges that are distinct from anywhere else in South Florida. These are the four factors TruView inspectors focus on in every West Palm Beach inspection.
West Palm Beach sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, with a large and active inventory of waterfront condos, townhomes, and single-family homes from Flagler Drive south through South Olive. Properties at waterline grade face accelerated corrosion on HVAC condensers and roofing metals from salt-air exposure, moisture intrusion at the foundation and lower floor assemblies, and seawall-proximity drainage issues that inland homes simply don't present. TruView inspectors give Intracoastal and Flagler Drive properties dedicated attention to drainage slope, salt-air corrosion, moisture barriers, and balcony deck waterproofing — defects that frequently go undisclosed in seller disclosures and surface within the first year of ownership.
West Palm Beach's historic core — El Cid, Grandview Heights, Flamingo Park, and SoSo — contains some of Palm Beach County's most architecturally significant residential stock, with homes dating from the 1920s through the 1970s. This same construction era carries significant inspection risk. Original knob-and-tube wiring and Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels are common findings in El Cid and Flamingo Park. Polybutylene supply lines and galvanized drain piping are frequently discovered in 1960s and 1970s-era homes. Roofing well past carrier age thresholds — often original tile or early single-ply systems — is standard in these neighborhoods. TruView inspectors who work the West Palm Beach historic core know precisely where to look and what questions each decade of construction demands.
West Palm Beach's downtown corridor and Intracoastal condo towers built in the 1980s and early 1990s are an active part of the local market. Buildings near the Intracoastal face the accelerant of coastal salt-air exposure on concrete, structural steel, HVAC condensers, and balcony assemblies. Condo inspections in these towers focus on interior systems, balcony deck and railing condition, sliding glass door integrity, moisture intrusion at exterior walls, and HVAC condition. TruView's same-day condo inspection report gives buyers the unit-level documentation they need to negotiate and to make an informed long-term ownership decision.
Palm Beach County has a split wind exposure designation: properties south of Indiantown Road fall within Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zone, while properties north of that line sit in the standard wind zone — but both zones require wind mitigation documentation for competitive insurance pricing. Roofs approaching 20–25 years of age face significant premium increases or outright carrier non-renewal regardless of zone designation. Citizens Insurance and most private Palm Beach-market carriers require specific documentation on roof age, attachment method, opening protection, and roof-to-wall connection that goes well beyond a standard home inspection narrative. TruView's same-day 4-point and wind mitigation reports are formatted precisely to the requirements of Citizens and all active Palm Beach-market carriers, and delivered the same day as your inspection.
Every Inspection Includes
Foundation, framing, roof structure, walls, floors, and ceilings — including attic inspection for roof deck condition, insulation, and ventilation adequacy. Historic West Palm Beach homes receive particular attention to wood-frame framing age and condition.
Roof covering, flashings, gutters, fascia, soffit, exterior walls, windows, doors, and drainage. Drone access for steep or inaccessible roofs throughout West Palm Beach, with specific attention to tile roofs approaching carrier age thresholds.
Main panel, sub-panels, branch wiring, outlets, GFCI and AFCI protection, and panel brand identification — knob-and-tube wiring, Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, and split-bus panels are flagged as common findings in West Palm Beach's historic neighborhoods.
Supply and drain lines, water heater condition and age, fixtures, shut-offs, water pressure, and identification of polybutylene supply lines and galvanized drain piping common in pre-1990 West Palm Beach construction.
Air handler, condenser, ductwork, thermostat, and filter condition. Intracoastal and waterfront proximity accelerates HVAC condenser corrosion significantly — age, coil condition, and cabinet corrosion are closely evaluated on all waterfront West Palm Beach properties.
Included at no charge with every full home inspection. Both delivered same-day and accepted by Citizens Insurance and all private Florida carriers operating in the Palm Beach County market.

"We were buying a 1940s Mediterranean Revival in Flamingo Park and TruView found knob-and-tube wiring still active in the attic, galvanized supply lines throughout the second floor, and evidence of a prior roof patch that had been concealed under fresh underlayment. The seller had disclosed nothing. We negotiated a $19,500 credit at closing. Worth every dollar of the inspection fee."
"As a Palm Beach County realtor working mostly in West Palm Beach and Lake Worth, I've referred TruView for three years running. Their reports are the most thorough I've seen — and the fact that the 4-point and wind mit are same-day and already included is a genuine selling point I use in my buyer presentations. My clients appreciate not having to coordinate a second appointment."
"Purchased a unit in a 1989 Intracoastal tower on Flagler Drive and TruView did an outstanding job — they documented corroded HVAC air handler coils, water staining at the sliding glass door track indicating past intrusion, and balcony drain backup that the association had not addressed. The report was detailed enough that our attorney used it to negotiate a repair escrow with the seller before we closed."
