Home Insurance Renewal Inspections in Southern California
Is your insurance provider requesting an inspection before renewing your homeowner’s policy?

This limited inspection focuses on the four major systems most insurance providers require: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Our detailed, photo-documented reports are designed to meet insurer requirements and help you maintain coverage, without the cost of a full home inspection.
What Is a Home Insurance Renewal Inspection?
A home insurance renewal inspection is a targeted evaluation of your home’s core systems, usually required by insurance companies when renewing policies on homes 25 years or older. It helps insurers assess potential risks and verify the home’s condition before continuing coverage.

Your insurance company may require supporting photos with the inspection. Our report includes all standard photo documentation, such as:
-
One photo of each side of the home’s exterior
-
One photo of each roof slope
-
Main electrical panel with the cover open and the interior label visible

Why Do Insurance Companies Require This?
Home insurance carriers use this inspection to determine if the home’s key systems pose any risk to the property. If your systems are outdated or show signs of damage, they may require repairs or may not be eligible for renewal.
Homes with modernized, well-maintained systems are often rewarded with continued coverage and competitive premiums.
