About Vincent N. Laporta

Vincent N. Laporta is a state-licensed home inspector based in Crystal Beach, in Pinellas County. DBPR lists license HI6137 as current and active. Vincent N. Laporta's Florida home inspector license was first issued in May 2012, giving more than 14 years as a licensed Florida home inspector.

Licensed home inspectors in Florida commonly perform the two insurance inspections homeowners are asked for most: the wind mitigation report (form OIR-B1-1802), which can lower the wind portion of a premium, and the 4-point inspection of roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. Confirm with Vincent that the required hurricane mitigation training is complete before booking a wind mitigation report.

Much of the county was built out between the 1950s and 1980s, so many homes are old enough that insurers ask for a 4-point inspection along with a wind mitigation report. 2 other licensed inspectors are based in Crystal Beach, and 326 across Pinellas County.

This is a free listing built from public DBPR records. Because many inspectors' license addresses are their homes, we do not publish street addresses, phone numbers or email.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vincent N. Laporta a licensed home inspector in Florida?

Yes. As of our October 2026 DBPR data, license HI6137 is current and active and expires July 31, 2028; it was originally issued May 17, 2012. Search the number on the DBPR license lookup to confirm before you book.

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

Florida allows licensed home inspectors to sign the Uniform Mitigation Verification form if they have completed the required hurricane mitigation training. Ask Vincent 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 Crystal 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 Vincent for a written price. See our wind mitigation cost guide.

How do I contact Vincent N. Laporta?

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 3 licensed inspectors based in Crystal Beach.

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

It depends on your insurer and the age of your home. Insurers typically require a 4-point on older homes and use a wind mitigation report to apply discounts on any home. Booking both in one visit usually costs less than two separate trips. See the 4-point 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.
