Wind Mitigation
If you’re looking to lower your insurance premiums or have been asked for a wind mitigation, this inspection documents how well your home is built to withstand high winds—often resulting in significant discounts.
A wind mitigation inspection focuses on specific construction features that help protect your home during storms. The better these features are, the more credits your insurance company may apply to your policy.
To complete the inspection, we’ll need access to:
- The exterior of the home
- The back side of the garage door
- The attic space
If you have any roof permits, documentation, or fortified roofing certificates, having those available can help ensure you receive full credit for qualifying features.
