THE RIGHT INSPECTION FOR THIS HOME

Clearer documentation for your insurance conversation.

For buyers and homeowners whose insurer or insurance agent has requested current information about the property when applying for or renewing coverage.

Buying the home too? A Pre-Purchase Inspection covers a broader range of home conditions. For wind-resistant features, ask your agent about a Wind Mitigation Inspection. Your insurer decides coverage and any premium change.

KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

What the inspection covers

Four systems, one focused report. We document accessible conditions and the information requested for your insurer’s review.

Roof

Visible condition, covering information, and available age documentation relevant to the requested report.

Electrical

Accessible electrical components and observed conditions that need to be documented or evaluated further.

Plumbing

Accessible supply and drain systems, water-heating equipment, and visible signs of leaks or deterioration.

Heating & cooling

Accessible HVAC equipment, system information, and observed operating conditions.

Clear documentation for your insurance conversation

Use the report to discuss the documented conditions with your insurance agent. The insurer decides whether it needs repairs, additional information or another report; the inspection does not approve coverage.

The insurer decides whether to offer coverage and whether repairs or additional documents are needed. An inspection does not guarantee insurance approval or replace a Pre-Purchase Inspection.

YOUR INSPECTION, EXPLAINED

Questions about your inspection

Who needs a 4 Point Inspection?

Homeowners or buyers whose insurance company requests a report on the roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems need a 4 Point Inspection. There is no single home-age cutoff that applies to every insurer. Your agent’s request tells you whether it is needed for your property.

Is a 4 Point Inspection the same as Wind Mitigation?

No. A 4 Point Inspection documents the condition of four systems. Wind Mitigation documents wind-resistant construction features. An insurer may ask for one or both.

How much does a 4 Point Inspection cost?

The published base rate is $175 for homes under 4,000 sq ft, $300 for 4,000–5,999 sq ft and $450 for 6,000–6,999 sq ft. A 4 Point + Wind Mitigation combo starts at $275 for homes under 4,000 sq ft. Larger or multi-unit properties need a tailored quote; your property quote confirms the total.

When should I arrange the inspection for my insurance deadline?

Arrange it as soon as your insurer requests the report. Schedule before the submission deadline, with time for the carrier’s review and any requested repairs or follow-up documentation. Share the exact deadline when booking so we can confirm whether the appointment fits.

What if my insurer requests repairs or more information?

Send us the carrier’s request. We can explain the findings and discuss updated inspection documentation; an appropriate contractor evaluates repairs, and the insurer decides what it accepts.

Optional: property records and local guidance for Boca Raton

Looking into earlier renovations or gathering documents? These resources can help. You do not need to complete this research to book your inspection. Share what you have and ask us about the rest.

Match replacement history to the right jurisdiction

Roof and system replacement records may be held by Boca Raton or Palm Beach County, depending on the property. Use the city-limits guidance before searching. The inspection documents accessible condition of the four systems for your insurer, rather than treating a replacement date as a condition guarantee.

Research the correct Boca property

  1. Check whether the parcel is within Boca Raton city limits before using city records.
  2. For a city property, open Boca eHub’s support page and its public permit-status lookup guide.
  3. If the address is outside the city, use the responsible county’s records route instead.
Boca eHub’s public-lookup guide Boca Raton city-limits guidance

Use the record to prepare questions. It does not establish the home’s current condition.

Bring these details to your inspection

  • Confirm the requested form and deadline with the insurance agent.
  • Check city limits before researching roof, electrical, plumbing or HVAC replacements.
  • Bring records for each system without assuming the house’s original year describes its current equipment.

Local property questions

My Boca address has no matching city permit. What should I do?

First confirm whether the parcel is actually within city limits. For an unincorporated property, use the responsible county route. For a city property, follow Boca eHub’s public-lookup guidance and ask staff about unavailable records. A blank result alone is not evidence that work lacked a permit.
