Hollywood, FL · CMI® · Since 2008
Home inspections, wind mitigation and 4-point insurance inspections across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. We look where others don't, and you get a clear photo report within 24 hours.
01/06 · Roof
We start at the top. Tile, shingle, metal and flat roofs are inspected up close or by drone (coverings, flashing, penetrations and drainage), and we estimate the remaining useful life your insurer will ask about.
02/06 · Attic
Inside the attic we document exactly what Florida insurers reward: roof-deck nailing, roof-to-wall connections and secondary water resistance. It's the evidence behind your wind mitigation (OIR-B1-1802) discounts.
03/06 · Electrical
We open the panel and check service size, breakers, grounding, GFCI/AFCI protection and visible wiring, including the panel brands and conditions that cause insurance problems in older Florida homes.
04/06 · Plumbing
Supply and drain lines, fixtures and the water heater get checked, and suspicious areas get a moisture meter, catching hidden leaks before South Florida's humidity turns them into mold.
05/06 · HVAC
We run the A/C, measure the temperature split between supply and return air, and use thermal imaging to spot duct leaks, missing insulation and moisture hiding behind finished walls.
06/06 · Structure
Foundation, framing, walls and ceilings are checked for settlement and water damage, along with windows, doors and shutters, the openings that matter most when a hurricane hits.
✓Inspection complete
Every finding is photographed, explained in plain English and prioritized: what's urgent, what to budget for and what's routine maintenance. Most reports arrive the same day, ready for your agent, lender or insurer.

Florida insurance inspections
Florida insurers price policies on what they can verify. A professional wind mitigation report and 4-point inspection give your carrier the proof it needs, which can mean real savings on your premium and a faster approval.
Under Florida law, insurers must offer discounts for verified wind-resistant construction. We inspect your attic, roof and openings and complete the state's Uniform Mitigation Verification form (OIR-B1-1802, Rev. 04/26), the nine items shown here, which stays valid for up to five years if nothing material changes.
Learn about wind mitigation in South FloridaMany Florida insurers require a 4-point inspection before they'll write or renew a policy on an older home. Citizens asks for one on homes more than 20 years old, and private carriers set their own limits. Book both together and we complete them in a single visit, usually with same-day reports.

A 4-point inspection evaluates the roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. Citizens requires one for homes more than 20 years old, and private Florida insurers set their own limits, often somewhere between 20 and 30 years. See what our 4-point inspection covers.
Florida law requires insurers to offer credits for features that reduce hurricane damage, such as hip roofs, hurricane straps, secondary water barriers and impact-rated openings. Savings vary by home and carrier, but documenting these features on the OIR-B1-1802 form can noticeably reduce the windstorm portion of your premium. The report remains valid for up to five years as long as no material changes are made. What's included in a wind mitigation report.
Most single-family home inspections take about two to four hours, depending on the size, age and condition of the property. Wind mitigation and 4-point inspections are much shorter and can be done during the same visit.
