Wind Mitigation Inspection

Building Contractors of South Florida, Inc. has added Wind Mitigation, 4-Point Inspections, and Roof Certification for the insurance industry. We can determine whether or not you are eligible for Wind Mitigation discounts that can potentially save you up to 45% off your homeowners insurance.



 

What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

A Wind Mitigation Inspection is a valuable inspection service that reduces your homeowners insurance. Discounts are available for building features that reduce damage during high-wind events.

Wind Mitigation discounts are justified because stronger, more wind-resistive structures have lower windstorm losses, which mean reduced costs to insurance companies.

Does My Home Qualify?

Many existing houses have one or more of these Wind Mitigation construction features that qualify for significant discounts such as hip roofs and roofs installed after 2001.

Below are additional features reducing insurance costs...  

• Roof coverings, such as shingles that meet the Florida Building Code requirements.
• Roof decks that have been installed with large nails and close spacing.
• Hurricane clips/straps that hold the roof structure to the walls.
• Protection of openings such as windows and glass doors with impact resistant glazing or hurricane shutters.
• Secondary water resistance that prevents the roof from leaking if the roof covering is blown off in a windstorm.
• Newly constructed homes built to the Florida Building Code since March 1, 2002.
• Homes built to the Florida Building Code in Lee County after 1994.

How Do I Get an Inspection?

Step 1

Contact your insurance company to find out if your home is eligible and if you are currently receiving a Residential Wind Storm Loss Mitigation credit.

If you are not recieving the credit, inform your agent that Building Contractors will be performing this inspection and will submit the standard "Uniform Mitigation Verficiation Inspection Form” along with elevation and mitigation attribute photos directly to your agent. Be sure to have your agents email address and contact information available.
