Wind Mitigation Inspections in
New Port Richey, FL
Looking to reduce your homeowners insurance premium in New Port Richey? A wind mitigation inspection could be the key. Florida law requires insurance companies to offer discounts for homes with wind-resistant features—but these features need to be documented. At Pointwise Inspection Services, we provide fast, reliable wind mitigation inspections accepted by all major insurers in Florida.
What’s Evaluated During a Wind Mitigation?
Our licensed inspector examines your home’s structural elements to determine how well it’s built to withstand wind and hurricane conditions. We assess:
-
Roof shape (hip vs. gable)
-
Roof deck attachment (nail size, spacing)
-
Roof-to-wall connections (clips, straps, toenails)
-
Secondary water resistance (underlayment barrier)
-
Opening protection (impact-rated doors, windows, or shutters)
We document everything on Florida’s OIR-B1-1802 form, the standardized wind mitigation report.
Why It Matters in New Port Richey
New Port Richey is located in a region where high winds and tropical storms are a seasonal reality. Homes with certain construction features—like a hip roof, impact windows, or reinforced roof attachments—can qualify for significant insurance savings.
Even newer homes may benefit if features are verified and properly documented. Wind mitigation reports are valid for 5 years, making this a smart, long-term investment.
Tips for Maximizing Credits
-
Add or verify roof-to-wall hardware (clips or straps)
-
Install impact-rated shutters or windows
-
Seal the roof deck with approved underlayment
-
Keep records of roof replacements and permits
-
These steps may lead to substantial annual savings on your policy.
