Frequently asked questions.
Why should I get a Full Home Inspection before buying a property?

How long does a Full Home Inspection take?
A Full Home Inspection typically takes between 2 to 3 hours to complete, however, the time it takes depends on the home's size and the scope of the inspection.
How much will a home inspection cost?
Home inspection prices are based on living square feet and the inspections needed. Every home is different.
What if the home inspectors find problems?

Why should I get a Wind Mitigation inspection?
A Wind Mitigation Inspection can save you up to 60% on your homeowner's insurance.
How long does a Wind Mitigation Inspection take?
The inspection takes 30 minutes to 1 hour usually. In order to make the inspection faster, homeowners should have the attic access open and any documentation regarding the roof, windows and shutters handy.
I had a home inspection before I purchased the home. Can I use that report instead of getting a four point inspection report?
The insurance companies do not want large reports that contain other information. They want only specific information about the HVAC, plumbing, electrical system and roof in a short one or two page signed document. Before you pay for a home inspection you should research with your insurance company if they will require a Four Point Inspection Report. You can end up paying twice for much of the same service and information gathering.
Is there a standard form in a four point inspection to fill out?
There is no industry-wide standard form for a Four Point Inspection. Some insurance companies provide their own forms; however, most insurance companies will accept forms from companies that perform home inspections provided that they are filled out by qualified individuals.
