4-Point Inspection in Palm Bay, FL
Florida homeowners insurance carriers often require a 4-point inspection before issuing or renewing coverage on homes 25 years and older. We deliver clear, insurer-ready reports — fast.
What a 4-point inspection covers
A 4-point inspection documents the condition and age of the four systems Florida insurance carriers consider highest-risk. Each system is evaluated and included in a written report formatted for insurer submission.
Roof
Age, condition, and materials. Insurers flag roofs over 15–20 years old or certain flat-roof materials before binding coverage.
Electrical
Panel type, breakers, and wiring materials. Aluminum wiring and certain panel brands may require remediation before coverage is issued.
Plumbing
Supply and drain materials and water heater age. Polybutylene piping or aging galvanized lines commonly trigger insurer scrutiny.
HVAC
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning — equipment age and condition. Units over 15 years old or in poor condition are commonly flagged.
Why Palm Bay homeowners need a 4-point inspection
Brevard County has a large stock of older homes — many built in the 1970s and 1980s — that fall squarely in the age range Florida insurers require for 4-point documentation before they will bind or renew coverage.
- Florida insurance carriers often require a 4-point inspection on homes 25 years old or older before they will issue or renew a homeowners policy.

- Many Palm Bay homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s, putting them squarely in the age range most insurers flag for 4-point documentation.

4-Point + Wind Mitigation — schedule both in one visit
Many Palm Bay homeowners schedule a wind mitigation inspection in Palm Bay alongside their 4-point inspection in the same visit. A wind mitigation report documents how your home resists hurricane-force winds, and qualifying results may reduce your annual insurance premium. Scheduling both inspections together saves time and may reduce the combined cost. Ask us about bundling when you call.
