A 4-point inspection reviews a home's roof, electrical system, plumbing, and HVAC for an insurance company. Citizens Property Insurance requires one for homes more than 20 years old, and serious hazards such as exposed wiring or active leaks should be repaired before the application is submitted. The inspection itself typically costs $75–$125 in Florida; repair costs depend on what the report flags.
A 4-point inspection reviews four major areas of a home: the roof, electrical system, plumbing system, and heating or cooling system. Insurance companies commonly use these reports to evaluate property conditions, particularly for older homes. When an inspection identifies concerns, the homeowner may be asked to complete repairs or provide additional documentation.
Home Inspection Repairs Fort Lauderdale helps homeowners understand these repair categories and plan corrective work. We focus on the actual findings and encourage confirmation of insurer requirements before significant expenses are approved.
Each category involves different systems, safety considerations, and repair requirements. A qualified professional should evaluate conditions that fall within a regulated trade.
Roof findings may involve leaks, visible damage, deteriorated coverings, or concerns about remaining service life. A roof repair may be appropriate for localized damage, while widespread deterioration can require a more extensive solution. The insurer's requirements and a qualified roofing assessment should guide the decision.
Electrical inspection findings can involve panel condition, wiring materials, protective devices, and visible hazards. A licensed electrical contractor should determine whether corrective repairs or replacement are appropriate. Insurance requirements may differ from minimum code requirements.
Plumbing observations often involve leaks, corrosion, pipe materials, or signs of deterioration. An isolated problem may require a localized repair. Widespread piping problems may justify discussing repiping options with a qualified plumbing contractor.
Inspectors may document equipment age, visible condition, operation, or signs of deficiencies. HVAC repairs should be evaluated by an appropriately qualified professional. The required action depends on the finding and the insurer's request.
After corrective work, an insurance company may request invoices, photographs, permits, contractor information, or an updated inspection. Requirements vary, so homeowners should verify the exact documentation needed before scheduling a follow-up inspection.

Requirements vary by insurer. Citizens Property Insurance requires a 4-point inspection for homes more than 20 years old, and many private carriers use similar age thresholds. Your agent can confirm what your insurer requires.
Insurers commonly object to exposed or unsafe wiring, active leaks or evidence of leaks, certain older panel types, outdated plumbing materials, and roofs near the end of their useful life. Citizens specifically asks that serious hazards and deficiencies be repaired before an application is submitted.
Most insurance carriers accept a 4-point inspection up to about 12 months old. Check with your agent, because acceptance rules vary by company.
Correcting the flagged items is usually the path to getting a policy written or renewed, but only the insurer decides. Keep invoices, permits, and photos of the completed work, since many carriers ask for proof or an updated inspection.
