Get a professional wind mitigation inspection

Schedule a certified wind mitigation inspection ($75-$150) that documents your home's hurricane-resistant features. This single inspection often pays for itself many times over through insurance premium reductions.

Why It Works

Florida, South Carolina, and other coastal states mandate insurance discounts for verified wind-resistant construction features. A wind mitigation report documents roof shape, roof-to-wall connections, opening protection, and roof deck attachment — each feature earning a separate discount.

Tips

• Typical annual premium savings range from $500-$2,500 depending on features documented
• The inspection identifies your weakest points, letting you prioritize cost-effective upgrades
• Hip roofs, hurricane straps, and secondary water resistance each earn significant individual discounts
• Reports are valid for 5 years in most states
• Schedule in spring before inspection demand peaks during hurricane season (June-November)
• Use the report to create a prioritized upgrade plan — some $200 improvements yield $400+/year in savings
