Wind Mitigation FAQs
What is wind mitigation?
Wind mitigation is an inspection that evaluates specific construction features of your home that affect how well it can withstand hurricane-force winds — things like roof-to-wall connections, roof deck attachment methods, roof shape, and secondary water resistance barriers. A certified inspector documents these features in an official wind mitigation report, which you then submit to your insurance provider. Because these features directly affect how likely your home is to sustain wind damage during a storm, insurers use this report to help determine your premium.
Will wind mitigation lower my insurance?
For most Florida homeowners, yes. Insurance companies are required by state law to offer premium discounts based on verified wind mitigation features, since homes with stronger roof-to-wall connections, hip roofs, and other protective features are statistically less likely to sustain major damage in a storm. The exact discount depends on which features your home has, your specific insurer, and your policy, but many homeowners see a meaningful reduction after submitting their report.
How much can I save?
Savings vary widely based on your home’s specific features and your insurance carrier, but homes with strong wind mitigation features — like a hip roof, reinforced roof-to-wall connections, and secondary water resistance — may qualify for discounts of up to 50% on the wind portion of their premium in some cases. Older homes without these upgrades typically see smaller discounts until improvements are made. We’ll give you a realistic picture of your home’s current features during your inspection.
How long does an inspection take?
Most wind mitigation inspections take approximately 30-45 minutes, since the inspector needs to examine your roof shape, attic space, and roof-to-wall connections in detail. We’ll walk you through what we find on-site and provide your official report shortly after, so you can submit it to your insurance provider as soon as possible.
How often should I update my wind mitigation?
Wind mitigation reports are typically valid for five years, though it’s worth getting a new inspection any time you make roofing improvements, since upgrades like a new roof deck attachment or secondary water resistance barrier could qualify you for additional discounts. If your current report is nearing its expiration or you’ve recently completed roofing work, a new inspection ensures your insurance provider has accurate, up-to-date information.
