A Four  point Inspection is sometimes required by Insurance Companies for the purpose of issuing a Home Owners Insurance Policy.  A certified inspector will visit the home, and examine the crawl space, electrical system, plumbing, and roofing.  They will put their findings into a written report including photographs. 

Recently one of my customers was asked to have a four point inspection performed on a house he is attempting to purchase.  A lovely vintage home, with large wrap around porch located on a tree lined street situated on a corner lot.  The Inspector came, took pictures and issued a written report.

 

Crawl Space- is serviceable.                                             71 Connecticut SAve-St, Cloud Florida719 Connecticut Avenue-St. Cloud Florida Allison Stewart Realtor

Plumbing is serviceable.

Electrical is serviceable.

Roof- serviceable, and estimated to have 5-7 years of life remaining. 

Under notes: There was this comment:

The roof is original and is 94 years old.  The house was built in 1915.

Now that is what I call a lifetime guarantee!  Image that a 94 year old roof that "still has 5-7 years of life left"

This has to be one of the oldest roofs left in St. Cloud, Florida on a vintage home- noteworthy becasue of the 3 hurricanes which rolled through Central Florida 5 years ago- almost every home got a new roof back then!  But this one- has no issues.

Remaining age of roof always a science. Good post. Your website hyperlink on the AR profile is not working!

I have long said that the quality of both materials and workmanship back then is in someways better than the quality  of materials made today- I wonder how many roofs will last nearly 100 years from now?
