Many insurance companies now require building inspections before they will grant you a policy.
Your home or commercial property is more than a place to live or do business—it’s also a major financial asset and one that needs to be protected. The best way to protect your property is to take out a robust insurance policy, but before you can do that, it’s likely you’ll need to get the building inspected first.
Many insurance companies now require building inspections before they will grant you a policy, and our team at Cornerstone Inspections is here to take care of this step for you. Our inspectors have extensive experience in this field, and you can turn to us whenever you need an insurance inspection.

Our Home Inspectors Can Help Protect and Preserve Your Home
Insurance inspections can also be called four-point inspections, as they look at the building’s four most important structures and systems, namely:
- The Roof – The roof of a home or business has a major impact on the integrity of the rest of the structure, so naturally insurers want to know what condition the roof is in before they offer you a policy.
- The Electrical System – Insurance is all about mitigating risk, and few things create more risk than a faulty electrical system. Our team will examine every part of your system to make sure it’s in good condition as part of our insurance inspection service.
- The HVAC System – An HVAC inspection is required for insurance purposes because faulty systems can increase the risk of water damage (if condensed moisture isn’t routed outdoors), and they can produce toxic gases such as carbon monoxide. Our team will carefully examine your system and alert you right away if we find any such issues.
- The Plumbing – The condition of your plumbing also has a significant impact on the rest of your building, as leaky pipes can lead to serious water damage. As part of your inspection, our team will look at every part of your plumbing system to identify any and all possible problems.

My inspector, (John), meticulously inspected all of the contracted features of the property and provided a clear and understandable report on his findings. In that report he advised the priorities of deficiencies that he found. I recommend Cornerstone.

The inspection was scheduled in a timely fashion and the agent arrived promptly as agreed agreed (no wasted time just waiting). The agent was thorough and informative, so I would understand what was about to take place and why it was necessary. Cory's explanations instilled confidence and he also gave me the opportunity to ask questions when I was not quite sure I understood something. Once the process was completed, I was briefed as to the next steps along with an approximate timeline. I was satisfied with their service and would definitely recommend CORNERSTONE ENVIRONMENTAL for your inspections needs. Without a doubt, I would use their expertise again when the need arises.Thank you!

I was referred to Cory by a family member when we had some conerns about mold in our master bathroom. The idea and stress of me needing to do bathroom reconstruction was giving me nightmares. From the first phone call, to when he arrived at my home put me at ease. The multitude of samples, and explaining to me what was being done and why, to the speed of test results from a certified lab makes me want to refer Cory to any one who is in my shoes. Thank you Cornerstone for being great at what you do. Thank you Cory!

I used Cornerstone inspections for an inspection on a home that I was purchasing. The inspection price was good. The inspection was very thorough, and the inspection report was prepared very quickly. They email you a PDF file of the entire inspection report with pictures and what type of problems they find with your home and other aspects of your new home.I highly recommend using Cornerstone Inspections.

I used Cornerstone inspections to do an inspection on a home that we're purchasing. The price was fair, and the company was easy to deal with. The inspection was through and done quickly. It included several pictures, and pointed out a number of issues that we didn't think about. I would use Cornerstone Inspections again in the future.

Wish I could give Cornerstone 10 stars considering that the performance of inspector Javier Rabadan, was AMAZING. He arrived earlier than expected and supplied me with a detailed report on the residence. As a retired Architect familiar with the "punch out" survey I completed many times in my career, I could not be any happier and highly recommend Cornerstone for any home inspection in the future.
Bonnie Whitmire
17:50 08 Nov 24
As much as I hate spending the money on inspections, I feel that Cornerstone was very thorough, the report came in record time, and they probably just saved me from making a very expensive mistake. I would definitely use them for future inspections.

I cannot say enough about how pleased we were with the customer service Cory provided us with! I was referred to his company and told that he would be reaching out to me, so I was thinking it would be several days since we had just gone through 2 back to back hurricanes, but he called me within a couple of hours! Not only did he call me very quickly but by the end of our phone conversation he worked me into his schedule to be seen right away. When he arrived he was very thorough and explained everything step by step to me as he went in and out of every room, conducting tests and taking samples. We got results back the very next day just like he said we should and everything has been taken care of! Thank you, Cory! We will always recommend you and your company!

I had had a leak in a split unit in a room above my garage. I cleaned up as best I could. Cory came out and tested the whole house and found nothing! This is after I purchased a testing kit on Amazon that showed positive for STACHYBOTRYS. Cory explained how those kits can give a false positive. He was honest and thorough. He is also a man who clearly enjoys what he does. I strongly recommend this company.

I requested an inspection of my home to determine any repairs needed. I was not selling or buying. Everything went smoothly and the report is very thorough. Javier arrived on time and explained exactly what he was planning to do and the need for those steps. He asked if I had any areas of concern and paid special attention to those areas. He eased my mind about the small repairs needed and the type of professional I should contact for each item. He is personable and polite. Everything was returned to its original setting when his work was done. Would highly recommend them.

I chose Cornerstone because in my experience as a real estate agent I have always found them to be prompt, courteous, professional, and very thorough. This time was no exception. I received a professional report quickly. It was detailed, yet easy to understand. I don’t know of any inspection company in Ocala that is more thorough.

I was satisfied with my experience with Cornerstone Inspections since the moment I called for a quote. I initially spoke with Mark who was pleasant and informative. Our quote fell between other quotes received from different inspection companies but the customer service sold me. Their availability worked well with our schedule. On the day of the inspection, our inspector Javier was prompt and got right to work. He was a pleasure to work with. He was thorough in his inspection and in his report. They made this part of the home buying process a pleasant experience.
