About Gary Laverne Garbelman

Gary Laverne Garbelman is a state-licensed home inspector based in Apollo Beach, in Hillsborough County. DBPR lists license HI14093 as current and active. Gary Laverne Garbelman's Florida home inspector license was first issued in July 2021, about 5 years ago.

Florida home inspectors can sign the state's Uniform Mitigation Verification form (OIR-B1-1802) once they have completed the hurricane mitigation training the law requires, and most also perform the 4-point inspections insurers ask for on older homes. Ask Gary which reports are offered and whether both can be done in one visit.

Apollo Beach is a canal-front community on the south shore of Tampa Bay, with many newer homes and high wind exposure near the water. 11 other licensed inspectors are also based in Apollo Beach.

Can Gary sign a wind mitigation form (OIR-B1-1802) for my Apollo Beach home?

Florida allows licensed home inspectors to sign the Uniform Mitigation Verification form if they have completed the required hurricane mitigation training. Ask Gary to confirm, and ask for photos of each item (roof deck nails, roof-to-wall connections, opening protection) so your insurer can verify the credits.

How much does a wind mitigation or 4-point inspection cost in Apollo Beach?

Published Tampa Bay prices we checked in October 2026 were $115–$130 for a wind mitigation report, $120–$140 for a 4-point and $175–$220 for both in one visit. Larger homes, two-story roofs and travel can cost more, so ask Gary for a written price. See our wind mitigation cost guide.

How do I contact Gary Laverne Garbelman?

Do I need a 4-point inspection, a wind mitigation inspection, or both?

A wind mitigation report is optional and is used to earn discounts. A 4-point is usually required by insurers for older homes (often 25–30+ years). Many Hillsborough County homeowners book both together. Read our 4-point inspection guide.

About these listings. Inspectors are listed from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) home inspector licensee file, downloaded October 2026. We include only licenses shown as current and active. A DBPR license does not by itself confirm that an inspector has completed the hurricane mitigation training required to sign form OIR-B1-1802, so confirm that, and verify the license on myfloridalicense.com, before you book.

Privacy. Many home inspectors use their home address on their license, so free listings show only the city and county: no street address, ZIP code, phone number or email. Inspectors can claim their listingto add business contact details, or ask us to correct or remove it. FL Storm Pros is not affiliated with DBPR or any insurer.
