Virtually all pre-1990s Miami housing meets the 25-year threshold Florida insurers apply for 4-point inspections. All of Miami falls within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the most stringent wind code in the US. Fully bilingual English and Spanish service.
Home inspections for Miami's diverse housing stock, HVHZ requirements, and Florida's most challenging insurance market
Miami's housing stock is among the most diverse in the state — spanning 1940s–1960s CBS bungalows and courtyard apartments in Coconut Grove, Coral Way, Little Havana, and Little Haiti through 1970s–1980s condominium towers in Brickell, Edgewater, and downtown, to 2000s–2010s luxury high-rises built under Miami-Dade's HVHZ code requirements. Virtually all pre-1990s housing in Miami meets or exceeds the 25-year threshold Florida insurers apply for 4-point inspection requirements — and much of the 1990s stock is at or approaching that threshold. Older single-family homes may have original or aging electrical panels, polybutylene or galvanized plumbing, and HVAC systems at or past their expected service life.
All of Miami falls within Miami-Dade County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — the most stringent wind code classification in the United States. Since 2002, Miami-Dade has required impact windows, doors, and hurricane-rated openings on all new construction under Miami-Dade Product Approval (NOA) standards. Pre-2002 homes and older condo towers may have accordion shutters, panel shutters, or standard windows. A wind mitigation inspection documents hurricane-resistant features that insurers use to evaluate wind risk and may apply as credits on your homeowners policy. Miami sits at the center of Florida's most challenging homeowners insurance market — many private carriers have reduced or exited Miami-Dade, and Citizens Insurance is the insurer of last resort for a significant share of homeowners and condominium associations.

Common inspection scenarios in Miami
Buying a CBS bungalow in Coconut Grove, a condo in Brickell, or a home in Little Havana? A buyer's home inspection before closing documents the property's full condition before you commit.
A pre-listing inspection before listing your Miami home lets you address issues proactively, price accurately, and avoid surprises that derail a closing.
Virtually all pre-1990s Miami homes require a 4-point inspection for policy renewal in Miami-Dade's challenging insurance market. A wind mitigation inspection documents HVHZ features that may reduce your premium.
Building or recently built in Miami? A new construction inspection or 11-month builder warranty inspection catches defects before your warranty window closes.
