Wind Mitigation

A wind mitigation inspection is when a certified inspector assesses your home’s ability to withstand strong winds, such as those from hurricanes or other intense wind events.

What do we inspect?

  • The shape of the roof.

  • The age and type of roof coverings.

  • How the roof rafters are attached to the exterior walls.

  • How many stories is the building?

  • Nail type and nail spacing hold the roof decking to the rafters.

  • The type of underlayment which is installed between the roof decking and the roof shingles.


Do I need this Inspection?
 

You need a Wind Mitigation inspection if you buy a home or change your homeowner’s insurance company.

Some insurance agents may not inform you of these discounts when preparing an insurance quote. Therefore, ensure that you ask your insurance agent about Wind Mitigation Inspections and windstorm discounts.

If you have not had a Wind mitigation Inspection, you are paying too much for your homeowner’s insurance.
