Wind Mitigation Inspections

Protecting your home from high winds isn’t just about peace of mind—it can also save you money on your homeowner’s insurance.

A Wind Mitigation Inspection identifies construction features that help your home withstand strong winds and severe weather. In many cases, homeowners may qualify for insurance discounts based on the wind-resistant features found during the inspection.

What Is Evaluated During a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

Our inspection documents key features that contribute to your home’s wind resistance, including:

Roof Covering

We verify the type, age, and condition of your roof covering and determine whether it meets current building standards.

Roof Deck Attachment

We inspect how the roof deck is fastened to the home’s structure, an important factor in resisting high winds.

Roof-to-Wall Connections

We identify the type of connectors—such as clips or hurricane straps—that secure the roof to the walls and improve structural strength.

Roof Shape

Certain roof designs perform better in high winds. We document your roof’s shape as part of the inspection.

Secondary Water Resistance

If present, we verify additional protective barriers that help reduce water intrusion if the roof covering is damaged during a storm.

Opening Protection

We inspect windows, doors, garage doors, and skylights for approved impact-resistant materials or protective coverings designed to withstand windborne debris.
