Serving Pensacola and surrounding Northwest Florida communities.
What is a wind mitigation inspection?
A Wind Mitigation inspection documents specific features of your home that help it withstand strong winds and hurricanes. In Florida, insurance companies use this information to determine whether your home qualifies for available wind mitigation credits or discounts.
During the inspection, we document the qualifying features of your home and complete the Wind Mitigation report your insurance company needs.
Can a Wind Mitigation Inspection Lower Your Homeowners Insurance?
It can. Florida homeowners may qualify for insurance discounts based on certain wind-resistant features documented during a Wind Mitigation inspection.
Your insurance carrier determines which credits your home qualifies for and how those credits affect your premium. Our job is to accurately document the qualifying features of your home so your insurance company has the information it needs.
What Does a Wind Mitigation Inspection Look At?
Roof Covering
The type of roof covering and available documentation related to its installation.
Roof Geometry
The shape and design of the roof.
Roof Deck Attachment
How the roof decking is attached to the structure of the home.
Secondary Water Resistance
Whether a qualifying secondary water barrier is present beneath the roof covering.
Roof-to-Wall Connections
How the roof structure is secured to the walls, including qualifying clips or straps when visible.
Opening Protection
Qualifying protection for windows, exterior doors and garage doors.
These findings are documented on your Wind Mitigation report for your insurance carrier to review.

A new roof can change some of the information documented on your Wind Mitigation report. If you've recently completed a roof replacement, an updated inspection can provide your insurance company with documentation of the new roof and any qualifying wind-mitigation features.
