Are You Receiving Every Discount You're Entitled To?
Insurance costs in Florida continue to rise, making every available discount more important than ever.
Many homeowners qualify for insurance credits they never receive because qualifying features haven’t been properly documented or reported.
A wind mitigation inspection in Central Florida can help identify and document those features so your insurance company has the information needed to apply any eligible discounts.
While every home is different, the savings from a wind mitigation inspection often outweigh the cost of the inspection itself.
What To Expect From A Wind Mitigation In Central Florida
The wind mitigation inspection is quick and non-invasive. We’ll inspect the exterior of the home, the attic space, and the back side of the garage door while documenting qualifying features with photographs. Any available permit records, roofing documentation, or fortified roofing certificates can also be helpful.
After the inspection, you’ll receive a completed report that can be submitted to your insurance company. If requested, we’re also happy to send it directly to your insurance agent to help make the process as simple as possible.
