What a coastal home inspection should cover
Roof, windows, moisture and wind mitigation: the points worth an extra question near the water.
A general inspection is the starting point. Near the coast, a few items deserve a closer look.
Roof and wind mitigation
Ask for the age of the roof and any wind mitigation report. Both can affect insurance as much as the condition of the home.
Windows and doors
Impact-rated openings are worth confirming with paperwork, not only by sight.
Moisture
Salt air and summer storms test every seal. A moisture reading around windows and in bathrooms is a small cost for real peace of mind.
This note is general information, not professional inspection or legal advice.
