- Certified Home, 4‑Point & Wind Mitigation Inspections
A home is a major investment and deserves the utmost care in order to protect it. One way to ensure that your home is well-maintained is through regular 4-point inspections. When performed by licensed, certified professionals, these inspections can help identify problems before they become serious and may even save you money in the long run. In addition, a 4 point inspection in Melbourne, Florida and throughout the Space Coast may be required when changing home insurance carriers.
If your home was built before 2005 or you’re switching insurance carriers in Florida, a 4‑Point Inspection is often required to secure coverage. We provide fast, insurance‑approved 4‑Point Inspections in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Viera, Cocoa, Rockledge, Titusville, and the entire Space Coast. Our reports meet the standards required by Citizens, State Farm, Progressive, Tower Hill, and all major Florida insurers.
What an Insurance 4-Point Inspection Covers
A 4-Point Inspection is a specialized report requested by insurance companies. It focuses on the four primary systems that carry the most risk for older Florida homes.
Roofing: We document the age, material, and remaining useful life. We also check for signs of active leaks or significant damage that could impact your coverage.
Electrical System: We verify the panel brand and safety. We specifically look for hazardous components like Zinsco or Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels and check for any unsafe wiring.
Plumbing: We identify pipe materials (such as leak-prone Polybutylene) and verify the condition and age of your water heater to ensure there are no active leaks.
HVAC (Heating & Cooling): We confirm your AC and heating systems are functional, safe, and in good working condition.
Why You Need This Now
If your home is 20–30 years old, or if you are switching to a new insurance carrier, a 4-Point Inspection is almost always mandatory. Carriers use this report to ensure the home’s major systems are safe and well-maintained before issuing a policy.
Buying an Older Home: Essential for your mortgage and insurance binder.
Policy Renewal: Your current carrier may request an update to keep your coverage active.
Switching Carriers: The first thing a new agent will ask for to give you a quote.
Why Insurance Companies Require a 4‑Point Inspection

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a 4‑Point Inspection take?
Most 4‑Point Inspections take 30–45 minutes depending on home size and access to the major systems.
Why do insurance companies require a 4‑Point Inspection?
Insurers use this inspection to verify that the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are safe, functional, and not at high risk of failure.
Do I need a 4‑Point Inspection if my home is newer?
Most homes under 20 years old do not require a 4‑Point, but some carriers may request one depending on system ages or previous claims.
Can you do the 4‑Point and Wind Mitigation at the same time?
Yes. Most homeowners combine both inspections to save time and money. We offer a discounted rate when both are performed during the same visit.
Will you send the report to my insurance company?
You’ll receive the full report and photos, and you can send them directly to your agent. If needed, we can also send the report on your behalf.
What if my home has older systems?
Older systems don’t automatically fail the inspection. The report simply documents their condition so your insurer can determine eligibility.
