About Richard Joe Pickle

Richard Joe Pickle is a state-licensed home inspector based in Tampa, in Hillsborough County. DBPR lists license HI307 as current and active. Richard Joe Pickle's Florida home inspector license was first issued in September 2010, in the first year Florida began licensing home inspectors, so it is one of the longest-held home inspector licenses in Tampa Bay.

A Florida home inspector license allows Richard to perform 4-point inspections, and a licensed inspector who has completed the required hurricane mitigation training can also sign the OIR-B1-1802 wind mitigation form. Many Tampa Bay homeowners book both in a single appointment.

Tampa has a wide mix of housing, from early-1900s homes in Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights and Hyde Park to newer construction in New Tampa and Westchase. 164 other licensed inspectors are also based in Tampa.

Frequently asked questions

Is Richard Joe Pickle a licensed home inspector in Florida?

Yes. As of our October 2026 DBPR data, license HI307 is current and active and expires July 31, 2028; it was originally issued September 22, 2010. Search the number on the DBPR license lookup to confirm before you book.

Can Richard sign a wind mitigation form (OIR-B1-1802) for my Tampa home?

Florida allows licensed home inspectors to sign the Uniform Mitigation Verification form if they have completed the required hurricane mitigation training. Ask Richard 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 Tampa?

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 Richard for a written price. See our wind mitigation cost guide.

How do I contact Richard Joe Pickle?

This is a free listing, so we don't show a phone number, email or street address. Use the request form on this page and we'll pass your request along, or compare the 165 licensed inspectors based in Tampa.

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.
