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.

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 Clermont

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.

Roof and system history for a Clermont insurance request

For a roof replacement, panel update or equipment change, the available permit and installation records can help document work history. First identify the municipality through the Lake County parcel record. The inspection adds the accessible condition of the four systems; the carrier evaluates the completed report.

Find the office behind a Clermont address

  1. Use the city’s jurisdiction guidance to open the Lake County Property Appraiser search for the exact parcel.
  2. Check the municipality shown on the parcel record before choosing a building department.
  3. Keep the parcel identification with records you request for earlier work.
Clermont’s jurisdiction lookup instructions

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

Bring these details to your inspection

  • Send the insurer’s actual request and due date before choosing the appointment.
  • Gather replacement invoices and matching city or county permit records for the four systems.
  • Tell us about inaccessible equipment or a system that is shut down before the visit.

Local property questions

Can the Lake County parcel record establish the age of my roof?

Use the parcel record to identify the property and jurisdiction, then research the actual roof work with the issuing authority and available installation documents. The building’s original age is not the replacement date of every component. Your inspector can explain what is documented and what remains unverified.
