4-Point Inspection Central Florida
Between rising premiums and insurance carriers leaving the state, switching coverage has become far too common. When you’re asked for a 4-point inspection in Central Florida, it’s important to work with an inspector who represents your best interest—not one who creates unnecessary issues.
A 4-point inspection is a simple, insurance-required report that focuses on four major systems in the home. Our approach is straightforward: provide clear, accurate documentation that meets insurance requirements without overcomplicating the process, so you can move forward with confidence.
Has Your Insurance Company Requested a 4-Point Inspection?
Insurance companies in Central Florida have become increasingly selective about the homes they insure. If your home is older or you’re shopping for a new policy, you may be asked to provide a 4-point inspection before coverage can be issued or renewed.
Unlike a full home inspection, a 4-point is not designed to evaluate the entire property. Its purpose is to document the age, condition, and overall functionality of these systems for insurance underwriting.
The goal isn’t to create problems or generate a long list of repairs. It’s to provide clear, accurate documentation so your insurance company has the information needed to evaluate the home and determine coverage.
What To Expect From A 4-Point Inspection
A 4-point inspection is a relatively quick, non-invasive inspection that is designed to provide insurance companies with the documentation they need to evaluate a property for coverage.
During the inspection, we’ll document the home’s major systems, take the photographs required for the report, and answer any questions you may have along the way. Most inspections can be completed in about 30 minutes.
After the inspection, you’ll receive a completed report that can be submitted to your insurance company. If you’d like, we can also send the report directly to your insurance agent.

Matt did an outstanding job with our home inspection. He was extremely thorough, professional, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand.

Why does my insurance company require a 4-point inspection?

What is included in a 4-point inspection?
