About William Stephen Garris

Based in Saint Petersburg, William Stephen Garris is licensed by the Florida DBPR as a home inspector under license HI7661. William Stephen Garris's Florida home inspector license was first issued in December 2012, giving more than 13 years as a licensed Florida home inspector.

A Florida home inspector license allows William 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.

St. Petersburg has a large stock of mid-century block homes and older bungalows, plus waterfront neighborhoods in flood and wind-borne debris zones. 101 other licensed inspectors are also based in Saint Petersburg.

Frequently asked questions

Is William Stephen Garris a licensed home inspector in Florida?

Yes. As of our October 2026 DBPR data, license HI7661 is current and active and expires July 31, 2028; it was originally issued December 4, 2012. Search the number on the DBPR license lookup to confirm before you book.

Can William sign a wind mitigation form (OIR-B1-1802) for my Saint Petersburg home?

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

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

How do I contact William Stephen Garris?

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 102 licensed inspectors based in Saint Petersburg.

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.
