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 Winter Garden

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.

An established home can contain systems of different ages

A Winter Garden home’s year of construction may differ from the age of its roof, plumbing or HVAC. Available building and installation records help put updates in context. The focused report documents the four systems for the insurer, while broader purchase concerns call for a Pre-Purchase Inspection.

Open the full Winter Garden permit record

  1. Follow the Building Division’s link to BS&A.
  2. Search with a known permit number or the project address, then open the matching record.
  3. Review the available permit details and inspections; ask city staff about anything you cannot locate.

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

Bring these details to your inspection

  • Ask the insurance agent for the exact report requirements and deadline.
  • Search available roof or system work using the address or permit number in the city’s linked BS&A records.
  • Gather invoices for replacements that differ from the home’s original construction date.

Local property questions

How should I handle different ages for the roof and equipment?

List each replacement separately and bring the available installation paperwork and matching permit records. Winter Garden’s address or permit lookup can help you research the work. Do not substitute the home’s build year for an unknown system age; discuss gaps with the inspector and the insurer.
