Wind Mitigation Inspection

A wind mitigation inspection documents construction features that help a home resist strong winds. Depending on the features present, a completed report may help you qualify for available insurance discounts.

What it is

A wind mitigation inspection identifies and documents construction features that may help a home better resist strong winds and hurricane conditions. The findings are recorded on the standard state form that Florida insurers use.

It is a focused inspection, not a full home inspection. Its job is to record which qualifying features are present so your insurer can apply any credits you are eligible for.

Who usually needs it

Florida homeowners applying for or renewing property insurance, and buyers who want to understand a home’s wind-resistance features before closing.

What is typically reviewed

  • Roof covering information
  • Roof deck attachment
  • Roof-to-wall connections
  • Roof shape
  • Secondary water resistance
  • Window, door, and garage door protection

What you receive

  • The completed state wind mitigation form
  • Supporting photographs of documented features
  • A clear summary of what was observed

Florida & Space Coast context

On the Space Coast, wind mitigation matters. Qualifying construction features MAY help a homeowner qualify for insurance discounts — but eligibility, credits, and any savings are determined entirely by your insurer, not by the inspection. We document the features accurately; we never guarantee a discount or a specific dollar amount.

Frequently asked questions

Will a wind mitigation inspection save me money?
It may. The inspection documents qualifying features, and your insurance company decides whether any credits apply and how much. We can’t promise savings, but if qualifying features are present, the report gives your insurer what they need to consider available discounts.
Is wind mitigation the same as a home inspection?
No. A wind mitigation inspection is a focused, insurance-specific inspection recorded on a standard state form. A full home inspection is a broad evaluation of the home’s systems and components. Many clients request both.
Can wind mitigation be combined with a 4-point inspection?
Yes. Wind mitigation and 4-point inspections are often requested together, especially for insurance applications and renewals. Let us know and we can schedule both.
