Buyers Inspection (Pre-Purchase Inspection)
A home inspection is a visual process where all of the items typically used within a home are tested and/or operated to verify proper operation or installation. Doors and windows are opened and closed, roofing materials inspected, air-conditioning and heating systems operated. The Inspector will fill the sinks and tub(s), run the shower(s), and flush the toilets. All the while making notes on the condition and operation of the components tested. Upon completion, a computer generated report with photos will be distributed to you promptly.
New Construction Inspections
New construction inspections are performed during and at the completion of construction, but prior to your final walk through with the Builder's Customer Service Representative or Superintendent.

4 Point Insurance Inspection
The Four Point Insurance Inspection was created after Hurricane Andrew struck Florida in 1992. It is performed on behalf of the insurance companies and, typically, as a requirement for the insurer offering insurance to the new homeowner. After the barrage of hurricanes in Florida (2004-2005), the Four Point Insurance Inspection has taken on added importance. As insurance companies are beginning to see the benefit of the inspection, the program is spreading to other areas of the country. The benefit to the insurance company is, obvious, reduced loss risk on homeowners insurance policies. This is an area of business that has, for many years, been a money loser for insurance companies. In 2002, the Florida Legislature passed a law that combined the Florida Residential Property and Casualty Joint Underwriting Association (FRPCJUA) and the Florida Windstorm Underwriting Association (FWUA). This resulted in the creation of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens), which more efficiently and effectively provides insurance to, and serves the needs of, homeowners in high-risk areas and others who cannot find coverage in the open, private insurance market. It is funded by premiums paid by the insured and from other insurance companies paying into the program to reduce their overall losses.
The Four Point Insurance Inspection consists of a visual survey of the following four primary components
Roof
Electrical
HVAC System
Plumbing
