Insurance companies are required by Florida Statues to lower rates if a home is built or has features that reduce damage in hurricane-force winds.
Wind mitigation inspection reports are typically good for the property as long as clients have the same insurance company. They do not transfer to new owners, though, so when purchasing a new home, you will need to have a new inspection done.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much money will I save on my home insurance?
Estimated savings can vary significantly depending on the home and the insurance company. It is best to discuss potential discounts with your insurance agent.
A home inspector can only document the features your home has, not how much you will save.
How long does a wind mitigation inspection take?
A wind mitigation inspection typically takes 30 minutes to one hour.
The inspector will walk around the exterior, check the attic, and evaluate windows, doors, and other openings.
Why did I lose insurance credits?
In rare cases, homeowners may lose discounts because a previous wind mitigation inspection was completed incorrectly.
This can happen if certain features were reported that were not actually present.
Fortunately, this is uncommon, and most homeowners qualify for insurance savings after a proper inspection.
When will I receive my inspection report?
Reports are delivered within 24 hours, and in most cases the same day as the inspection.
