What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
In Florida, insurance companies require a licensed and qualified home inspector to conduct a wind mitigation inspection to determine which credits may apply to your home. This inspection assesses key features and reinforcements that can help reduce potential damage from hurricanes or strong windstorms.
During the inspection, a certified professional evaluates factors such as your roof shape, construction materials, attachment methods, impact-resistant windows, and other protective upgrades. These features not only improve your home’s safety but may also qualify you for significant insurance discounts.
If you're a homeowner looking to save money while ensuring your property is better protected, schedule a wind mitigation inspection today with a licensed home inspector.
