Wind Mitigation in Miami Dade County
Wind mitigation inspections in Miami-Dade County play a major role in protecting homes and lowering insurance costs. A proper windstorm inspection can lead to substantial savings on insurance premiums by qualifying homeowners for credits and discounts. Florida law rewards homes with certified wind protection, which makes scheduling a professional wind mitigation inspection one of the smartest financial decisions a homeowner can make.
Kore Home Inspections provides thorough and accurate wind mitigation inspections throughout Miami-Dade County. Each home in this area is exposed to strong winds and tropical storms, and the way a property is built directly impacts how well it stands up to these forces. A strong roof structure, secure decking, reinforced openings, and proper tie-down systems can protect your home for decades, while weak or outdated construction can leave it vulnerable.
Our licensed inspectors carefully evaluate the roof shape, decking type, nailing patterns, roof-to-wall connections, and opening protection systems like shutters and impact-rated windows. We also look at how these components work together to resist uplift and lateral wind forces. If we find vulnerabilities, we provide clear recommendations so you can strengthen your home’s defenses and potentially qualify for greater insurance savings.
Homeowners and buyers across Miami-Dade often combine a standard home inspection with a wind mitigation inspection to get a full understanding of the property’s wind resistance. By reviewing the year the roof was installed, its construction type, and its current condition, we help homeowners identify risks before they turn into costly problems.
Our team also provides shutter mitigation inspections to help protect windows, doors, skylights, and garage doors. Reinforced openings are a key factor in lowering hurricane insurance costs and preventing storm damage.
For commercial properties in Miami-Dade County, wind mitigation is just as important. Properties with four or more stories are required by insurers to complete Building Type II or III Wind Mitigation Inspection forms (MIT-BT II and III). Our state-certified inspectors, engineers, and general contractors evaluate roof structures and opening protections to help businesses meet insurance requirements and maintain safer buildings.
Kore Home Inspections is dedicated to helping property owners in Miami-Dade County reduce risk, lower insurance costs, and stay prepared for hurricane season. A wind mitigation inspection is more than just a formality—it’s a way to protect your home, your investment, and your peace of mind.
4 Point Inspection in Miami Dade County
A four point inspection in Miami-Dade County is one of the most important steps a homeowner can take to protect their investment, maintain safety, and meet insurance requirements. These inspections focus on four essential systems—roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—providing insurance carriers with the information they need to assess the home’s insurability and overall condition. For buyers, sellers, and homeowners, it’s a cost-effective way to identify potential risks and make necessary improvements before problems become expensive claims.
In Miami-Dade County, a 4 point inspection is typically required for homes 20 years or older in order to qualify for or renew a homeowners insurance policy. Insurance companies want to ensure that major systems are functioning properly and do not pose increased risk of damage or liability. If the systems are outdated, poorly maintained, or unsafe, coverage can be denied or restricted. Having a licensed home inspector conduct this inspection before applying for insurance can save time, reduce stress, and help avoid coverage delays.
During a 4 point inspection, our inspectors carefully examine the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. For each system, we evaluate the age, condition, components, and remaining useful life. We also identify any safety hazards or issues that could raise concerns with insurance companies. This includes roof wear, plumbing material and age, electrical panel condition, HVAC performance, and overall maintenance. Once the inspection is complete, we provide a clear, insurance-ready report that you can submit directly to your carrier.
Kore Home Inspections has extensive experience performing 4 point inspections throughout Miami-Dade County. We understand the specific requirements of insurance carriers in South Florida and tailor our inspections to ensure nothing is missed.

Mold Inspection in Miami
Mold testing in Miami-Dade County plays an important role in protecting both your home’s value and the health of those inside it. Mold naturally exists in the environment, but when moisture problems occur indoors—such as roof leaks, plumbing issues, or poor ventilation—spores can multiply and become a serious concern. Because Miami-Dade County has a humid climate, mold growth can happen quickly and spread before it’s noticeable, which is why professional testing is so important for buyers, sellers, and current homeowners.
Mold spores often enter through open doors, windows, and HVAC systems. Once inside, they thrive in damp, poorly ventilated spaces like bathrooms, attics, kitchens, and around leaky pipes. Mold can impact indoor air quality and lead to allergy symptoms, breathing difficulties, or other health concerns depending on exposure levels. Early testing helps identify elevated mold levels before they become a bigger problem, especially during real estate transactions or insurance claims.
Kore Home Inspections provides professional mold testing and air quality testing throughout Miami-Dade County. Our role is focused on testing and reporting only—we do not provide remediation services, which ensures our testing remains unbiased and independent. We use a combination of visual inspections, moisture readings, humidity checks, and air and surface sampling to determine whether mold levels inside the home are elevated compared to outside. All samples are analyzed by accredited laboratories, and clients receive a clear, easy-to-understand report outlining the findings.
Air testing is typically performed both inside and outside the property to establish a baseline. Comparing indoor spore counts to outdoor levels helps determine whether the property has elevated concentrations. Surface testing is used when visible evidence of mold is present. This type of testing identifies the general mold family, giving property owners the information they need to take next steps with a qualified remediation contractor if necessary.
During a mold inspection, our inspectors check for moisture intrusion, signs of active leaks, and areas with poor ventilation. We use tools such as thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to detect problems that may not be visible. Because mold growth is often tied to water issues, identifying the source of excess moisture is key to preventing future growth.
Kore Home Inspections serves homeowners, buyers, sellers, and agents across Miami-Dade County. Whether you need mold testing as part of a real estate transaction, insurance requirement, or simply for peace of mind, we provide fast scheduling, professional testing, and detailed lab-backed reports.
If you’re concerned about mold or indoor air quality, scheduling a mold test can help you understand what’s in your air and how serious the issue may be. Kore Home Inspections provides independent mold testing throughout Miami, Coral Gables, Miami Beach, Hialeah, Kendall, Doral, Homestead, and surrounding communities. This testing gives property owners the clear information they need to take the appropriate next steps.
