Frequently Asked Questions About Home Inspections in South Florida

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is included in a home inspection?

A standard home inspection is a comprehensive visual evaluation of the home's major systems and components, including the roof, structure, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC, attic, insulation, doors, windows, interior, exterior, foundation, and visible safety concerns. Our detailed reports help buyers understand the home's current condition before closing.

2. How long does a home inspection take?

Most inspections take between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the property's size, age, condition, and any additional inspection services requested.

3. When will I receive my inspection report?

CBG Home Inspections delivers most inspection reports within 24 hours, helping buyers, sellers, Realtors, and insurance professionals keep transactions moving without unnecessary delays.

4. What is a 4-Point Inspection?

A 4-Point Inspection evaluates the four primary systems insurance companies care about:

• Roof

• Electrical

• Plumbing

• HVAC

Many Florida insurance carriers require this inspection before issuing or renewing homeowners insurance for older homes.

5. What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

A Wind Mitigation Inspection documents features that help protect a home against wind damage, such as roof-to-wall connections, roof deck attachment, secondary water resistance, roof geometry, and opening protection.

Many homeowners qualify for insurance premium discounts when these features are properly documented.

6. Can a Wind Mitigation Inspection lower my insurance premium?

Yes. While savings vary by insurance carrier and the home's construction, many homeowners receive insurance discounts when qualifying wind-resistant features are verified through a certified wind mitigation inspection.

7. Do I need both a Home Inspection and a 4-Point Inspection?

Yes, in many situations.

A home inspection helps buyers understand the property's overall condition, while a 4-Point Inspection is designed specifically for insurance underwriting. They serve different purposes and one does not replace the other.

8. Should I attend my home inspection?

Absolutely. We encourage clients to attend whenever possible. Walking through the property with your inspector gives you the opportunity to ask questions, understand maintenance recommendations, and learn about your new home.

9. What areas do you serve?
