Wind Mitigation Florida

What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

A check-up to see how well your home can handle high winds from hurricanes and storms.

  • Roof shape and structure
  • Type of windows and doors
  • Overall home structure and design
  • Helps reduce damage during high winds
  • Can lower your insurance premiums (many insurers offer discounts for wind-resistant features)
  • Hurricane shutters
  • Impact-resistant windows
  • Properly secured roof tie-downs

Save money on insurance and make sure your home is prepared for whatever storm comes your way!

Have your own list of questions or concerns about the property you’re considering buying or selling, and Talk to the inspection company in advance. Or the inspector at the inspection. This will ensure that the clients concerns will be addressed and that any special arrangements can be made ahead of time.
Real estate agents should instruct sellers to ensure that all areas of the home are easily accessible to the inspector. For example, if the attic access point is inside a closet, all clothes and belongings should be removed for ease of entry and exit.

If you’re a homebuyer, it’s especially important to be present during the inspection, especially the last hour. By being there with the inspector and paying close attention, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Have all of your questions and concerns addressed as they arise.
  • Understand the condition of each key component throughout the house and property, helping establish a better understanding of the home and the resulting inspection report.
  • Truly understand any concerns you may have about the Inspection findings that look worse on paper than they really are. Save time and avoid frustration by learning about the function of your new home. You may find out how the heating system works, how to light pilot lights, how to turn on various appliances and components, and where shut-offs are located. The inspector can also point out maintenance needs and procedures, and explain how and when to check on specific items that need periodic maintenance

Read your home inspection report thoroughly. If you have concerns or need clarification—no matter how minor the issue may seem—never hesitate to reach out to your home inspector to find out more.
