What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

A wind mitigation inspection documents how well your home is built to withstand high winds. Insurance companies use this information to determine eligibility for wind mitigation credits, which can significantly reduce your premium.

During the inspection, we evaluate key features that affect wind resistance, including:

  • Roof shape and covering

  • Roof-to-wall connections (clips, straps, or toe nails)

  • Roof deck attachment

  • Secondary water resistance

  • Impact-rated windows, doors, and shutters

  • Garage door reinforcement

Each of these components plays a role in how your home performs during severe weather.

Why Wind Mitigation Matters in Port Richey

Many homes in Port Richey were built before newer hurricane codes went into effect. Even well-maintained homes may be missing features that insurers look for today.

A wind mitigation inspection can help you:

  • Qualify for insurance discounts

  • Avoid policy non-renewals or delays

  • Understand what upgrades are worth investing in

  • Provide documentation for roof replacements or improvements

Even small improvements—like proper roof fasteners or a reinforced garage door—can make a noticeable difference.

What to Expect From Our Inspection

  • Our inspections are thorough but straightforward. We access the attic when possible, photograph all required components, and complete the official Florida wind mitigation form used by insurance companies.

  • You’ll receive:

  • A clear, photo-documented report

  • Insurance-ready paperwork

  • Honest feedback—no upselling

  • Fast turnaround, typically within 24 hours

  • We explain findings in plain language so you know exactly where your home stands.

Who Typically Needs a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

  • Homeowners renewing or shopping for insurance

  • Homes with a newer roof or recent upgrades

  • Sellers preparing for a transaction

  • Buyers looking to estimate insurance costs

  • Homeowners planning hurricane-related improvements

  • If your insurance agent mentioned wind mitigation credits, this inspection is likely required.
