4 POINT INSPECTION
A 4-point inspection focuses on four critical areas of a house: the roof, electrical system, plumbing system, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). This inspection is often required by insurance companies before they will issue or renew a homeowner’s insurance policy—especially for homes that are over 20 years old.
- Roofing: Age of the roof, materials used, overall condition, and any signs of damage or leaks.
- Electrical System: Evaluate safety by inspecting wiring type, panel condition, and any potential fire hazards.
- Plumbing: Identify pipe materials, estimate age, and check for signs of leaks or deterioration.
- HVAC (Heating & Cooling): Evaluate the heating and cooling systems to ensure they are functional, properly installed, and well-maintained.

WIND MITIGATION CAN BRING BIG DISCOUNTS
A wind mitigation inspection lets your insurance company know how well your home can withstand hurricane force winds. The inspection identifies building features that reduce wind damage, potentially qualifying you for significant discounts on your homeowner’s insurance.
What It Includes
- Roof Shape and Materials Certain roof shapes (like hip roofs) and materials are more wind-resistant.
- Roof-to-Wall Connections Inspectors look for secure connections like clips or straps that keep the roof anchored during high winds.
- Roof Deck Attachment This checks how securely the roof sheathing is attached to the trusses or rafters.
- Secondary Water Resistance A moisture barrier under the roof surface helps prevent water intrusion if shingles or tiles are damaged.
- Opening Protection Windows, doors, and skylights are inspected for impact-resistant features like shutters or storm-rated glass.
Why It Matters
In Florida, insurance companies offer discounts based on wind mitigation features because they reduce the risk of costly storm damage. A wind mitigation inspection not only keeps you and your home safer—it could also save you hundreds of dollars a year on insurance premiums.

Roof Certification
A roof certification inspection is a specialized evaluation performed by a licensed inspector to determine the condition, age, and expected lifespan of your roof. This type of inspection is often required by insurance companies, especially for homes with older roofs, before they’ll issue or renew a homeowner’s policy.
What It Includes
- Roof Age and Type Inspectors verify the roofing material (shingles, tile, metal, etc.) and estimate its remaining life expectancy.
- Visible Wear and Tear They look for signs of damage such as missing shingles, leaks, soft spots, or improper installation.
- Structural Integrity Inspectors assess the condition of the roof decking and underlying support to ensure safety and durability.
- Repairs and Maintenance Any areas needing repair or further evaluation are documented, and recommendations are provided.
Why It Matters
A roof certification assures insurance providers that your roof is in good shape and isn’t at risk of causing future claims. It also gives homeowners peace of mind and helps buyers and sellers during real estate transactions. If the roof is found to be in satisfactory condition, the inspector will issue a roof certification, which typically remains valid for 3–5 years.
Drone Roof Observation
What Is a Drone Roof Observation?
A drone roof observation is a modern, efficient way to inspect a roof using high-resolution aerial images captured by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone. This allows inspectors to safely assess hard-to-reach areas without stepping foot on the roof—making it an ideal solution for steep, high, or fragile surfaces.
What Does It Involve?
- High-Resolution Aerial Imagery Drones capture detailed photos and video of the entire roof structure, including shingles, flashings, valleys, chimneys, and gutters.
- Safe and Non-Invasive No ladders, no foot traffic, and no risk of causing damage to the roof surface—drone observations are completely contact-free.
- Real-Time and Post-Flight Analysis Inspectors can review imagery on the spot and deliver a professional assessment supported by visual documentation.
- Documentation for Insurance or Repairs Drone imagery is especially helpful for insurance claims and maintenance planning, offering clear evidence of roof condition.
Why It Matters
Drone roof observations are fast, thorough, and safer than traditional inspections. They help homeowners gain a detailed understanding of their roof’s condition without any risk—plus, they’re often more cost-effective and can be completed more quickly.
