Services provided were for insurance-required inspections. VERY prompt and results provided very timely. After a month, the insurance company decided that the submitted report was on a state form that had been superseded by 1 WEEK and simply disregarded it, jumping their rates with no explanation. After interrogating the insurance company, they admitted to reason for rate change (no apology for no communication). Re-contacted inspector and the new form was re-submitted to insurance. Response by inspector was understood and immediate. Highly recommend this inspector and company for your S Florida needs!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Angelo Menendez, owner and inspector with Certified Inspectors, LLC. Mr. Menendez provided EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. Mr. Menendez was the ONLY mold inspection company to answer the phone! I called seven (7) and sent at least five (5) text messages. Again, Mr. Menendez was the ONLY company to respond! He answered all questions and made an appointment immediately as the matter was urgent. Mr. Menendez also arrived early for the appointment, was professional, serious and knowledgeable. The mold report received was scientific, in color, quantative disaggregated by a science lab with a PhD scientist. The report was detailed, organized, biologically relevant and included graphical analysis and recommendations. Mr. Menendez also followed up the appointment with a courteous telephone call. Extraordinary service! Also, Mr. Menendez inspects MOBILE HOMES. This was a 1974 2/2 mobile home. Many inspectors from my understanding do not consider mobile homes worth the time. I mean the Margate Building Code Department does not even bother to regulate so thank you Mr. Menendez for taking the time to come inspect and provide a report. I appreciate your time, courteousness and professionalism.

This is the third time I have used Certified Inspectors. Angelo has always been professional. We have a 700 foot seawall that needed to be inspected. His feed back and report were very informative and easy to understand. Angelo also did our wind mitigation roof report for our 28 townhome community. I highly recommend Certified Inspectors.

New Insurance Policy Applications

When purchasing a new insurance policy for an older home, insurers typically require a current 4 Point Inspection (completed within the last 12 months) before binding coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About 4 Point Inspections

What is a 4 Point Inspection?

A 4 Point Inspection is a limited-scope insurance inspection that evaluates the condition of four major home systems: roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. It is required by most Florida insurance companies for homes that are 30 years old or older.

Is this the same as a final walkthrough with the builder?

No. The builder’s final walkthrough focuses on cosmetic punch list items and is conducted before you move in. An 11 Month Warranty Inspection is a comprehensive independent inspection conducted after you’ve lived in the home for almost a year. Many defects only become apparent after months of living in the property.

How is a 4 Point different from a full home inspection?

A 4 Point Inspection only evaluates the four systems that insurance companies consider highest risk. A full home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of all visible and accessible components. 4 Point Inspections are faster and less expensive because they have a narrower scope.

How long does a 4 Point Inspection take?

The on-site inspection typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the size of the property and accessibility of systems. The report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.

Will you send the report directly to my insurance company?

Yes, we can send the completed report directly to your insurance agent or company upon request. We can also provide the report to you for personal submittal. Just let us know your preference when scheduling.

What if you find problems during the inspection?

We report all conditions accurately. If we identify high-risk components like polybutylene plumbing, aluminum wiring, or Federal Pacific panels, we document them in the report. You may need to address these issues before obtaining insurance coverage, or your insurance company may exclude certain systems from coverage.

How long is a 4 Point Inspection valid?

Most insurance companies accept 4 Point Inspections that are less than 12 months old. Some insurers may require a more recent inspection. Check with your insurance agent for specific requirements.
