A Citizens 4-Point Inspection is a mandatory requirement for many Florida homes, especially those built before 2002. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation uses this inspection to verify that the home’s four major systems meet their underwriting standards before issuing or renewing a policy. This inspection is essential for homeowners seeking coverage through Citizens Insurance.

We provide fast, Citizens‑approved 4‑Point Inspections throughout Melbourne, Palm Bay, Viera, Cocoa, Rockledge, Titusville, and the entire Space Coast. Every report is completed on the official Citizens 4‑Point form and includes the documentation your agent needs to bind or renew your policy.

What a Citizens 4‑Point Inspection Covers

Citizens uses the 4‑Point Inspection to evaluate the condition, age, and safety of the four systems that pose the highest risk in older Florida homes:

  • Roofing – Age, material, remaining life, and any signs of leaks

  • Electrical System – Panel brand, wiring type, safety hazards (FPE, Zinsco, aluminum branch wiring)

  • Plumbing System – Pipe materials, water heater age, active leaks, polybutylene identification

  • HVAC System – Cooling/heating functionality, age, safety, and condition

This inspection is completed on the official Citizens 4‑Point form and follows Citizens underwriting guidelines.

Your Local 4‑Point Inspection Specialist

With 40+ years of building experience in Brevard County and 8 years inspecting Florida homes, I understand how our local construction ages and how insurance carriers evaluate risk. Every 4‑Point Inspection is performed to Florida insurance standards and focuses on the four systems that matter most—roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. You receive clear, detailed documentation that shows the condition, age, and safety of each system so carriers can accurately underwrite your policy.

A 4‑Point Inspection is one of the most important steps for securing or renewing homeowners insurance in Florida. Older homes, coastal weather, and system wear all play a major role in whether a property meets carrier requirements. My inspections are thorough, accurate, and fully insurance‑ready, giving you the documentation carriers expect and the confidence homeowners rely on when navigating Florida’s insurance market.

Homes in Brevard County face unique conditions — coastal weather, aging electrical systems, older plumbing materials, and roof wear from storms. With over 40 years of construction experience and 8 years inspecting Florida homes, we understand how these factors impact insurance eligibility. Our inspections are tailored to the specific requirements of Florida carriers and the realities of Space Coast homes.
