Florida Insurance Inspections

Four Point Inspection

  • Looking to buy a home in Pensacola or Northwest Florida? Many homeowners and homebuyers aren’t aware that Florida insurance companies often require a 4-point inspection for older homes. This specialized inspection evaluates four critical areas that are crucial for insurance approval, especially if the home is 25 years or older. What is a 4-Point Inspection?

    A 4-point inspection focuses on four key systems in the home:

    1. Roof – Our inspectors assess the roof’s age, condition, and remaining lifespan, ensuring it meets insurance requirements.

    2. Electrical System – We examine wiring, panels, and electrical components to spot any outdated or potentially hazardous materials.

    3. Plumbing System – We inspect plumbing materials and look for leaks or outdated pipes that could affect safety and insurance coverage.

    4. HVAC System – Our inspection covers heating, ventilation, and cooling systems, ensuring they are functional and safe for daily use.

    Why a 4-Point Inspection Matters for Florida Homebuyers:

    For Pensacola homebuyers, the results of a 4-point inspection can directly impact the home insurance approval process. If issues are detected in any of these systems, insurance companies may require repairs before issuing or renewing your policy. This can affect your timeline for closing, as well as negotiations with the seller regarding repair costs or sale price adjustments.

Wind Mitigation Inspection

  • Pensacola Homeowners – Maximize Insurance Savings

    A Florida Wind Mitigation inspection is crucial for Pensacola homeowners who want to reduce insurance costs and ensure their home is prepared for hurricane-force winds. This inspection evaluates seven key wind-resistant features that may qualify a home for substantial insurance discounts:

    • Roof Shape – Homes with hip-shaped roofs (sloped on all sides) are more wind-resistant, often qualifying for significant discounts due to reduced wind lift.

    • Roof Covering – Roof materials like shingles, tiles, and metal that meet Florida Building Code standards and are rated for high wind resistance can result in lower premiums.

    • Roof Deck Attachment – Inspections assess how the roof deck is attached to the trusses. Stronger attachments, such as nails over staples, provide better resistance and can qualify for discounts.

    • Roof-to-Wall Attachment – Wind mitigation inspectors check for features like hurricane straps, clips, or double wraps that better secure the roof to the walls, reducing the risk of roof uplift and earning premium credits.

    • Secondary Water Resistance (SWR) – An additional layer, such as a waterproof barrier under the roof covering, can prevent water intrusion in case of roof damage, often leading to further premium reductions.

    • Opening Protection – Homes with impact-resistant windows, doors, and garage doors that meet wind-borne debris standards or have shutters may qualify for significant discounts.

    • Gable End Bracing – For homes with gable roofs, bracing in the gable ends helps stabilize the structure, reducing the risk of wind damage and potentially lowering premiums.

      How These Discounts Impact Pensacola Homeowners:

      For Pensacola homebuyers, wind mitigation discounts can have a dramatic effect on insurance premiums. Homes with qualifying features may see annual premium reductions of up to 30-50%. By obtaining a wind mitigation report early in the buying process, Pensacola homeowners can:

      • Accurately estimate potential insurance savings

      • Identify necessary upgrades to maximize discounts

      • Negotiate with sellers on price adjustments or repairs

      At Jekel Inspections, we provide detailed wind mitigation inspections that identify these seven key features, helping Pensacola homeowners save on insurance costs and protect their property from storm-related damage.
