Citizens 4 Point Inspection Report
 
Required for home that are more than 30 years old
Roof - Electrical - Plumbing - Heating & Air Conditioning
We are no longer providing 4 Point Inspections and Reports.
 
We do not provide 4 point inspection reports on homes where we’ve done a complete standard visual inspection. A 4 point inspection is not as detailed as our standard visual inspection; are poorly defined, and often what needs be reported can vary between insurance companies and their underwriters. It is highly likely that issues noted as “CORRECTIVE” in the Electrical, Plumbing, Roof & Attic, and Heating - Air Conditioning sections in the summary of our inspection reports should be addressed prior to having a 4 point inspection.
