- 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, qualified 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.
What Is a 4‑Point Inspection?
A 4‑Point Inspection is a focused evaluation of the four major systems insurance companies care about most. In Melbourne — where many homes were built before 2002 — insurers often require this inspection before issuing or renewing a policy.
We inspect:
Roof – age, condition, leaks, materials
Electrical System – panels, wiring type, hazards
Plumbing System – supply lines, drain lines, water heater
HVAC System – cooling, heating, age, functionality
This inspection helps insurance carriers determine the risk level of your home.

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.
