Florida State Insurance Inspections

4 POINT INSPECTION

If the home is older than 25 years, old most insurance companies in Florida require a 4 point inspection. Your insurance company wants to know that the 4 main points of the home (Roof, Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC) are in good and in safe working order.

WIND MITIGATION INSPECTION

Your insurance company wants to know the age, shape and type of roof, how well the roof is connected to the walls, (either by toe nails (16 penny nails) or hurricane clips or straps), how well the sheathing is secured to the trusses, what type of nails were used, and if the openings of the house (windows, doors and garage door/s) have hurricane impact resistance ratings. A wind mitigation inspection can help lower your home owner’s insurance policy premiums.

Frequently Asked Questions – Home Inspections in Manatee County

Do I need a home inspection when buying a new construction home in Lakewood Ranch?

Absolutely. New construction homes in Lakewood Ranch and other Manatee County developments can still have defects and code issues that go unnoticed during the builder’s process. A New Construction Inspection helps identify these issues before your final walkthrough so the builder can make repairs before you move in. Don’t assume “new” means “perfect” — independent inspections protect your investment.

What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection and why do Bradenton homeowners need one?

A Wind Mitigation Inspection evaluates how well your home can withstand strong winds and storm conditions — a critical concern for properties in Manatee County. The inspection examines your roof type, connections, and other structural features. Many insurance companies offer significant premium discounts for homes that pass a wind mitigation inspection, making this a worthwhile investment for Bradenton and Palmetto homeowners.

Thermal Imaging Camera

The Thermal Imaging Camera is a tool that allows our inspector to see areas of low or excessive heat behind home surfaces not visible to the naked eye. Picking up on infrared energy, this camera can show hidden water damage, leaks around doors and windows, and improperly insulated areas of the home.

Aerial Drone

Depending on the height, pitch, and construction material, we may decide that a roof is unsafe to walk on foot. This doesn’t mean that we won’t inspect it! With the use of an Aerial Drone, we can collect high-resolution images from above the home to inspect the roof’s condition and determine if damages exist.

360° Camera

Wouldn’t it be great to revisit the home anytime you want when trying to remember its minor details and layout? The 360° Camera makes that possible by creating images that allow you to virtually tour the property long after you’ve left.

Moisture Meter

We use a Moisture Meter during our inspections to measure the amount of moisture in different areas of the home. This information points us in the direction of leaks and water damage that may have otherwise been difficult to find.
