What Florida homeowners need to know

"Insurance inspection" is a common shorthand, but it can refer to different inspection types depending on what your insurance carrier is asking for. Some carriers request a 4-point inspection before issuing or renewing a policy on an older home. Others may request a wind mitigation inspection to determine whether your home may qualify for credits on hurricane coverage. Some homeowners may need both.

Requirements depend on the insurance carrier, the property's age, location, and the specific policy. If your carrier requested documentation, confirm with them — or your insurance agent — which inspection type they need. Then we can help you schedule the right one.

Which inspection do I need?

Use this guide to find the right inspection for your situation — whether your carrier requested documentation or you need an inspection for another reason. For insurance-related documentation, confirm the exact type with your carrier or agent before scheduling.

The first two items — 4-point and wind mitigation — are the inspection types most commonly requested by Florida insurance carriers. Carrier requirements vary by policy, property age, and underwriting guidelines. Always confirm the exact inspection type with your carrier or agent before scheduling.

Common questions about insurance inspections in Florida

What is an insurance inspection in Florida?
"Insurance inspection" is a general term for any inspection a Florida carrier may request before issuing or renewing a homeowners policy. It most commonly refers to a 4-point inspection, a wind mitigation inspection, or both. Which inspection type your carrier needs depends on the property, the policy, and the carrier's own requirements — confirm with your insurance agent or carrier if you are unsure which inspection to schedule.
Is a 4-point inspection the same as a wind mitigation inspection?
No. A 4-point inspection covers four home systems: roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Insurance carriers commonly request it for homes 25 years or older before they will issue or renew a policy. A wind mitigation inspection documents wind-resistant features — roof shape, deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, and opening protection — and is used to determine whether a home may qualify for insurance credits. They serve different purposes, and many Palm Bay homeowners schedule both in a single visit.
When does a Florida homeowner need a 4-point inspection?
Florida insurance carriers often request a 4-point inspection for homes 25 to 30 years old or older, when switching carriers, renewing a policy, or purchasing an older home. Requirements vary by carrier and policy — check with your insurer or agent to confirm whether one is needed for your situation.
Can a wind mitigation inspection lower insurance costs?
It depends on what your home has. If your home has features such as a hip roof, impact-rated windows, hurricane straps, or a newer metal roof, your carrier may apply credits when you submit a wind mitigation report. Florida law requires carriers to offer premium discounts when wind mitigation documentation supports them. The inspection documents your home's features; your insurer determines the credit amount based on their rating guidelines. No specific savings amount can be guaranteed.
Which inspection should I schedule if my insurance company asked for documentation?
Ask your insurance agent or carrier to confirm the exact inspection type they need. Once you know — 4-point, wind mitigation, or both — call us and we can schedule the right inspection. If your carrier's request was general, we can explain the difference between both inspection types and help you determine what makes sense for your situation.
Is a full home inspection the same as an insurance inspection?
No. A full buyer's home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of the home's visible and accessible systems and conditions — structure, exterior, interior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. A 4-point or wind mitigation inspection is a focused, insurance-driven report. If you are buying a home, your lender or insurer may require an insurance inspection in addition to — or separately from — a standard buyer's inspection. Confirm requirements with your insurer and lender before closing.
How much does an insurance inspection cost in Florida?
Pricing depends on the inspection type, the property, its size and age, and the documentation needed. We do not publish a fixed rate because the combination of factors — and whether multiple inspections are bundled in one visit — affects pricing. Call us for current availability and a quick quote. No forms, no waiting.
