4-Point Inspection

A 4-point inspection documents the condition of four major systems: roof, electrical, plumbing, and heating/cooling. These are commonly reviewed by insurance companies, especially for older homes.

What it is

A 4-point inspection focuses on the four major systems that insurance companies most often want documented: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and heating and cooling. It reports the visible condition, approximate age, and remaining serviceability of each.

These inspections are frequently requested during the insurance application or renewal process, particularly for older homes. Like wind mitigation, it is a focused inspection rather than a full home inspection.

Who usually needs it

Owners and buyers of older homes who need insurance coverage, and anyone whose insurer has requested a 4-point as a condition of a new or renewing policy.

What is typically reviewed

  • Roof
  • Electrical
  • Plumbing
  • Heating and cooling (HVAC)

What you receive

  • A completed 4-point report on the standard form
  • Photographs documenting each of the four systems
  • Notes on visible condition, age, and serviceability

Florida & Space Coast context

Florida insurers frequently require a 4-point inspection for older properties before they will write or renew a policy. Requirements vary by insurer, so it’s worth confirming with your agent exactly what they need — we complete the standard report either way.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my insurance company ask for a 4-point inspection?
Insurers often request one for older homes to understand the condition of the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC before issuing or renewing a policy. The specific age threshold and requirements depend on the insurer.
What’s the difference between a 4-point and a full home inspection?
A 4-point is limited to four systems and is built for insurance purposes. A full home inspection is a broad, detailed evaluation of the whole home. If you’re buying, you may want a full inspection even if the insurer only requires a 4-point.
