Our goal is to help homeowners document their wind-resistant features and meet insurance requirements with confidence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

  • How long does the inspection take?

    Wind mitigation inspections typically take 30 to 60 minutes depending on home access and layout.


  • What if my home doesn’t qualify for all categories?

    We document what’s present and provide suggestions for future upgrades that could improve performance and eligibility.



  • Is this the same as a roof certification?

    No. Roof certifications are separate documents typically required for insurance coverage of older roofs. However, we can perform both if needed.



  • How long is the wind mitigation report valid?

    The report is generally valid for five years in the state of Florida, unless major changes are made to the structure or roof.
