Common Questions About Insurance Inspection in Florida

Straight answers — no jargon.

A Florida home inspection covers all major systems and components of the property: the roof, attic, foundation, structural elements, exterior, interior, windows, doors, HVAC system, electrical panel and wiring, plumbing, and water heater. At The Brevard Inspector LLC, every full home inspection also includes a complimentary Wind Mitigation Report — a document your insurance carrier likely requires.

Yes. Citizens Property Insurance requires a 4- Point inspection for most homes that are 20 years of age or older before issuing or renewing a homeowner’s policy. Citizens updated its required 4-point inspection form in March 2025, so it’s important to use an inspector who uses the current form — which we always do.

4-point inspections at The Brevard Inspector LLC start at $120, based on the size of the home. This includes a full inspection of the four critical systems — roof, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing — plus a complete report using the latest Citizens-accepted forms. Reports are typically delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.

A 4-Point Inspection evaluates four key systems: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Florida insurance carriers typically require this report before issuing or renewing a homeowner’s policy on homes over 30 years old — and increasingly on newer homes as well. At The Brevard Inspector LLC, the cost of a 4-Point is discounted with any full home inspection.

A Wind Mitigation Report documents the storm-resistance features of your home — including roof shape, roofing material, roof-to-wall connections, and opening protection. Florida insurers are required by law to offer discounts based on these features, and many homeowners see significant premium reductions. This report is included at no charge with every full inspection.

Absolutely — and it’s a smart way to save time and money. We routinely perform both inspections during a single visit, which means less disruption to your schedule and faster report delivery. Many homeowners bundle a 4-point and wind mitigation inspection together, especially when renewing their policy or switching insurance carriers.

Most single-family home inspections take between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger homes or those with more complex systems may take longer. You’re welcome and encouraged to attend.

Your full digital report, complete with photographs, plain-language descriptions, and all required insurance documentation, is delivered the next business day via a secure online link. The report is accepted by every major Florida insurance carrier.

Absolutely. Builder inspections focus on code compliance at specific phases — not on your behalf as a buyer. A new construction inspection before closing gives you an independent evaluation of the home’s condition, helps identify any items the builder should correct, and protects your investment from day one.

Home inspection pricing in the Brevard County area typically ranges from $350 to $500+ depending on home size, age, and type. At The Brevard Inspector LLC, every full inspection includes the 4-Point at a dixcounted rate and Wind Mitigation report at no extra charge — two documents that would cost $150–$300 separately elsewhere. Call (321) 259-2868 for an exact quote.
