Wind Mitigation
Our Wind Mitigation Inspection determines if your home is ready for hurricane force wind. Our Wind Mitigation Inspection evaluates a structure’s construction ability to withstand high winds as well as the construction features which have been shown to reduce losses in hurricanes. We consider hip roof, concrete block construction, gable end bracing, shutters and opening protections, roof to wall attachments, and secondary water resistance barriers.

Strong winds, such as those experienced in hurricanes, have the potential to cause significant damage to a home. A more wind-resistant home is less likely to be damaged by windstorms, and may qualify for significant reductions in home insurance premiums.
