Our primary focus is giving you peace of mind knowing our inspections are done thoroughly and will cover all points of the home ensuring against any wind or water entry damages.
Wind Mitigation or what does wind mitigation mean?
The process of having a wind mitigation inspection is fairly easy. It essentially it is the the process of whereby our inspectors examine a home’s ability and features to help it withstand damaging winds during storms. Every homeowner should have this done. It can involve a look at the roof and a tour of the attic. Such details as the age of the roof, whether there are hurricane straps or tie-downs, and whether the property has impact resistant doors and windows.
Florida’s hurricane season starts June 1st through November 30th, as you can expect there to be a few storms producing heavy rains and strong winds which can pose a severe threat to homes that aren’t properly secure. Water can enter through poorly sealed windows and doors, through gaps, or vents etc. If not secure, it’s very common for roofs to experience a great amount of damage. How much more peace of mind would you have knowing we’ve completed a thorough wind mitigation and 4 point inspection on your home, and helped you to identify areas vulnerable to wind and/or water damage? At which point you would have been able to make immediate prioritization arrangements to have repairs or replacements done. As a homeowner, imagine the extensive amount of property damages which would be avoided as a result of your proactive efforts.

What are the other benefits of having a wind mitigation inspection done?
Besides identifying potential risks with the property for wind or water damages, a homeowner can expect to have their insurance coverage premiums reduced with the inspection and completion of the recommendations in our inspection reports.
What to expect during your home inspection?
During your windstorm inspection, we will perform a comprehensive inspection of the home and document any qualifying wind mitigation features, such as:
The home’s construction materials and its basic structure
Materials the roof is made of, its condition, and does it has tie-downs / retro-fits
Exterior and garage doors, windows, and skylights
Wall construction
Hurricane panels/shutters
Attic interior (roof-to-wall attachment, roof-deck attachment, secondary water barrier)
Once the inspection has been completed, we will provide you with a copy of the inspection report. At this point, you can make available the report to your insurance agent to pursue a policy premium discount.
WHAT IS A 4 POINT INSPECTION?
This is an inspections that take a look at major home systems.
Roof: Type of covering, estimated age and condition, and any visible defects

overall condition or whether there is evidence of leaks.
