In Palm Beach County's newest city, Westlake, Cornerstone brings independent, expert inspections to brand-new and nearly-new homes.
Palm Beach County's newest city, Westlake sprang up in the 2010s as a large master-planned community in the western part of the county, and it's still rapidly growing — a place of brand-new and nearly-new single-family homes, modern amenities, and family-oriented neighborhoods rising where farmland used to be. As a community built almost entirely of new construction, Westlake presents a very different inspection picture than the county's older towns.
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 Westlake 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 Westlake, 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.
It's tempting to assume a brand-new Westlake home doesn't need an inspection, but new construction is exactly where an independent expert eye pays off. Builders work fast, and installation defects — in roofing, wiring, plumbing, HVAC, and finishes — are common even in new homes. On top of that, western Palm Beach County's sun, humidity, and hurricane-season winds test every roof and opening, and the flat terrain makes drainage worth checking. A buyer's or pre-closing inspection gives you leverage while the builder's warranty is fresh, and wind mitigation documents your new home's storm features for insurance discounts. Jonathan gives new homes the same thorough look as old ones.
That's why Westlake 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 Westlake.

"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.

Yes. Cornerstone inspects homes across Westlake — across Westlake's new master-planned neighborhoods. Call or text 561-445-0677 to get on the schedule.
Because new doesn't always mean flawless. Builders move quickly, and installation defects in roofing, wiring, plumbing, and HVAC are common. An independent inspection lets you get them addressed while the builder's warranty is still fresh.
Yes — and it's a smart move. New homes are typically built to current wind codes, so a wind mitigation inspection often documents features that earn strong insurance discounts.
Quite possibly. Many Florida insurers require a four-point inspection on older homes before writing or renewing a policy, and a wind mitigation inspection can earn you windstorm discounts. Jonathan can often bundle both in a single visit.
