What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
A wind mitigation inspection in Florida is a specialized evaluation that identifies how well your home can withstand strong winds. Florida insurance companies often require this inspection to determine eligibility for wind-resistance credits, which can significantly lower your insurance costs. During your inspection, our certified professionals examine key structural features like:
Roof covering type and condition
Roof deck attachment and underlayment
Roof-to-wall connections
Gable end bracing
Opening protections (impact-rated windows, shutters, or doors)
Secondary water resistance layers
Each element plays a role in reducing potential storm damage — and can directly impact your insurance discounts.
What We Look For
During a Wind Mitigation Inspection, we evaluate:
Roof Shape: Gable vs. hip roofs, with hip roofs being more resistant to wind damage.
Roof-to-Wall Attachment: The method used to attach the roof to the home’s walls, such as clips, straps, or anchors.
Roof Deck Attachment: How well the roof deck is fastened to the structure, including the type of nails and their spacing.
Roof Covering: The material and age of the roof covering, whether it's shingles, tiles, or metal.
Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors: Checking for impact-resistant windows, doors, or shutters that protect against flying debris.
Secondary Water Barrier: Verifying if the home has a secondary water barrier to prevent water intrusion in case of roof damage.
Why You Should Get A Wind Mitigation
Save on Insurance Premiums: Florida law requires insurance companies to offer discounts for homes with wind mitigation features.
Reduce Storm Damage: By knowing your home’s wind-resistant features, you can plan for upgrades or repairs to make your property safer during storms.
Quick and Affordable: A wind mitigation inspection is a fast, low-cost way to potentially save hundreds on your insurance and better protect your home.
