Wind Mitigation

Insurance discounts are available for building features that reduce damage during high wind events such as tropical storms and hurricanes. Such features include improved roof shingles, strong roof decks, hurricane clips/straps, impact resistant glazing or shutter protection for windows, roof shape and other construction techniques. The discounts are justified because stronger, more wind-resistive structures have lower windstorm losses, which mean reduced costs to insurance companies. Most existing structures have one or more wind resistive construction features and may qualify for some insurance discounts. For more information on insurance companies offering discounts, please visit the Florida Wind Insurance Incentives Web Site.

P.S. SEC Inspection Services has NEVER done a wind mitigation where a homeowner’s insurance has gone up!
