On the island of Palm Beach, Cornerstone brings meticulous, coastal-savvy inspections to historic estates and condos alike.
Synonymous with old-world Florida glamour, the Town of Palm Beach occupies a barrier island between the Atlantic and Lake Worth — famous for the Worth Avenue shops, the landmark Breakers resort, and a storied collection of Mediterranean-revival estates, many dating to the 1920s Addison Mizner era, alongside luxury oceanfront condominiums. Even the most prestigious address is subject to the realities of age, salt, and sun, which is exactly where a thorough inspection earns its keep.
Cornerstone Home Inspections is Jonathan Velez, personally. As a Florida Licensed Home Inspector (#HI-10762) and a licensed electrician with more than 20 years of hands-on construction experience, Jonathan performs every inspection himself — you're never routed through a call center or handed off to a rotating crew. Based in Jupiter, he knows Palm Beach County homes, the coastal building challenges of this stretch of Florida, and the questions Palm Beach buyers, sellers, and homeowners actually need answered.
What sets Cornerstone apart is the combination of a builder's eye, an electrician's training, and honest, no-pressure reporting behind every inspection. In Palm Beach, Jonathan handles the full range homeowners need — buyer's and pre-listing inspections, investment and condo evaluations, and the wind mitigation, four-point, and roof inspections Florida insurers require — plus focused HVAC, electrical, and plumbing inspections. Every job comes with a clear, photo-documented digital report you can actually use.
An oceanfront barrier island makes Palm Beach both spectacular and demanding on structures. Salt air and spray corrode metals, fixtures, and electrical components; hurricane-season winds and wind-driven rain test roofs, windows, and doors; and the island's many historic homes carry decades — sometimes a century — of wear in their roofs, systems, and original construction. That combination makes wind mitigation, four-point, and roof inspections especially valuable here, and makes an inspector with a builder's eye and an electrician's training a real asset. Jonathan gives each Palm Beach property the thorough, unhurried attention it deserves.
That's why Palm Beach homeowners, buyers, and sellers choose Cornerstone. You get a local, owner-operated inspector with real construction expertise, an electrician's eye for safety, and straight answers with no upsells — plus fast, easy-to-read digital reports and help with the insurance inspections your carrier wants. When you're ready to protect one of the biggest investments you'll ever make, call or text Cornerstone Home Inspections at 561-445-0677 and work with an inspector who knows Palm Beach.

"Jonathan is a very professional and friendly home inspector. He worked closely with me and my roofers to ensure that my new roof and related upgrades were installed properly and qualified for the insurance discounts I was seeking. I have used him for years, and he has always stayed in close contact, arrived on time, and even worked directly with my insurance agent when needed. I can honestly highly recommend him."
