Reading the address
A Boca Raton Address Doesn't Tell You Everything
The envelope says Boca Raton, but the age of the house, the office holding its permits and the wind answer on your insurance form can all change from one side of town to the other.

The city limit is not the postal line
Many homes with a Boca Raton mailing address sit in unincorporated Palm Beach County, including Boca West and other parts of West Boca. That decides whose files hold your roof and window permits, and whether the city's condo recertification rules reach your building.
A century of building in a few miles
Mizner's 1925 houses in Old Floresta, Arvida's Royal Palm from 1959, Camino Gardens from the 1960s, then the communities that followed IBM. The population went from about 7,000 in 1960 to more than 61,000 in 1990, so the decade a house was built matters.
Just above the HVHZ
The Hillsboro Canal marks the county line, and the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone ends there. Homes here answer the wind mitigation form differently from those in Deerfield Beach: no HVHZ box, no 1994 code option and a region set by the design wind speed at the address.

Buyers and sellers -
Wind mitigation inspection
Form OIR-B1-1802, Rev. 04/26. Here the Region item comes from the design wind speed at the address rather than HVHZ, so we look it up for each home.
Region by address -
4-point inspection
Roof, electrical, plumbing and A/C for an underwriter. Homes from the city's growth years are well past the 20-year mark Citizens uses.
Insurance required -
Roof inspection
Barrel and flat tile, shingle, metal and flat sections, photographed by drone where the airspace allows, with an estimate of remaining useful life.
Drone where allowed -
Mold inspection & air quality
Moisture mapping and air samples for seasonal houses, stacked condos and slab homes with plumbing running under the floor.

Thermal imaging
An infrared scan that shows damp spots, duct leaks and thin insulation behind finished walls, handy on large homes with a lot of rooms to cover.

How we work here
Home Inspectors for Every Side of Boca Raton, From A1A to the Turnpike
Global Home Inspectors works from Hollywood and has served South Florida since 2008, with Palm Beach County as part of that territory. Peter Lemos takes calls and texts at (954) 297-0317 seven days a week, gives free estimates by phone and sets a firm price before anything goes on the calendar. Then he does the inspection and explains the findings in plain language.
The scope shifts with the address. A Spanish-style house from the 1920s raises questions about layers of renovation. A 1960s home near the Intracoastal raises questions about salt and original systems. A villa in a gated club may still have its first roof underlayment, and a tower unit on the barrier island comes with association paperwork. We sort out which questions apply on the first call.
- Insurance forms usually delivered the same day
- Several inspections can share one visit
- Gate and building access arranged with you or your agent
Buyers
Your inspection period is short. Learn about the roof, panel and plumbing before you commit, and find out whether the house sits inside the city limits.
Sellers
A pre-listing inspection lets you deal with an old water heater or tired flashing before a buyer's inspector writes them up.
People renewing a policy
Carriers ask for current paperwork on older homes. A 4-point and a wind mitigation form usually come back to you the same day.
Agents and investors
Prioritized reports, one contact and easy coordination at gated entries and condo buildings make deadlines simpler to manage.

“From start to finish, Peter was prompt, professional, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to explain every detail, answer our questions, and provide a clear and comprehensive report.”
“He was able to come out and complete the inspection within 24 hours and send me the report the same day. Most companies would have taken a week to come out and another week to send the report.”

Good questions
Boca Raton Inspection Questions
What people ask about properties here. Need something else? Call (954) 297-0317.
Do you cover West Boca as well as the city of Boca Raton?
Yes. We inspect inside the city limits and in the unincorporated communities west of them, such as Boca West. The inspection is the same. What changes is who holds the permit records: the city or Palm Beach County.
How do I know if my Boca Raton address is inside the city limits?
Your property tax bill or the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's record shows the municipality. The mailing address won't, since many homes outside the city still use Boca Raton as their postal city.
Which inspections do buyers here usually order?
A full home inspection and a wind mitigation form are the usual pair. Add a 4-point on an older home, since Citizens requires one on properties more than 20 years old and private carriers set their own limits. All three fit in one visit.
Can you get through the gate at my community?
Yes, once you or your agent add us to the visitor list. Tell us about any contractor hours or badge rules at the club or building when you book, so nothing holds up your inspection period.
Do you inspect barrier island condos in Boca Raton?
Yes. We inspect the unit and the visible condition of its balcony. The building itself falls to the association, and the barrier island was the first zone of the city's recertification program, so ask for the report. See our Boca Raton condo inspection page.
What does an inspection cost here?
It depends on the property's size, age and type and on which services you combine. Call for a free estimate by phone. You get a firm price before anything is scheduled.
