Insurance Inspections

 

Can I get homeowners insurance without an inspection ? I doubt it. Your homeowners insurance price has probably jumped dramatically, making you even think your are going to loose your home or you are going to need to get another job just to pay it. Or your probably buying a new home and never even thought the insurance was going to be so high. What do you know now ? Have a reliable home inspector inspect your home and tell you the truth on how to safe money on your homeowners insurance. 

 

4 Point Inspections

 

What is a 4 Point Inspection ? Insurance companies want to know what types of roof your house has and how old are they,  what type of air conditioning system is it and it's age, what type of plumbing (supply & drain lines) your home has and how old and where is your water heater located, what type and brand of electrical panel and wiring is in it.  That's when we come in and advise you if you should upgrade any of these components in order to get a larger discount.

 

Wind Mitigation Inspections

 

Do you have a new roof or new impact windows ? Is that enough to get a better discount on your homeowners insurance ?  

We will let you know. 

​

What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection ? To determine the price of your homeowners insurance we will take pictures of your home and fill out the  Uniform Wind Mitigation Form (OIR-B1-1802). Based on this document the insurance company will evaluate how strong your home was built or has been updated to stand a storm. The inspector fills the form telling the year the home was built,  the type of roof coverings you have and their age,  the type of roof deck attachment, the type of roof to wall attachment, the roof geometry, if a secondary water resistance barrier was installed on the roof and how every opening of your house is protected against strong winds (windows, doors, garage door, skylights).

Roof Certifications

 

Your roof is not that old but the insurance company is giving you a hard time, let's inspect it and really give it the life it has due to the condition. 

How Homeowners Insurance Works.

I find very interesting you take a look at Citizens Property Insurance web page https://www.citizensfla.com. There's plenty of valuable information on it to help you clarify this whole process. Actually on the page I found a video made by the Insurance Information Institute that explains it really easy. Here's a link to access it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUZSIahxq-g
