Wind Mitigation Inspection

$150.00

A wind mitigation inspection helps Florida homeowners identify features of their home that reduce damage from high winds and hurricanes. This inspection is often used to qualify for insurance discounts, potentially lowering your homeowners insurance premium.

During a wind mitigation inspection, we evaluate key construction features that improve a home’s resistance to wind damage. These include roof shape, roof covering, roof-to-wall connections, secondary water resistance, and opening protections such as impact-rated windows, doors, and shutters. All findings are documented using the state-approved wind mitigation inspection form.

Integrity First Property Inspections provides thorough, accurate wind mitigation inspections performed with attention to detail and knowledge of Florida building standards. Our inspector ensures all eligible wind-resistant features are properly identified and clearly reported, helping homeowners maximize available insurance credits.

Whether you are purchasing a home, renewing your insurance policy, or simply want to reduce insurance costs, a professional wind mitigation inspection offers valuable insight and potential long-term savings.
