Wind mitigation inspections assess your home’s ability to withstand strong winds from hurricanes and severe storms. This inspection not only helps protect your home but can also lead to savings on your homeowners insurance premiums. By verifying that your home meets specific wind-resistant standards, your insurance provider may offer discounts based on credit points determined by a certified wind mitigation inspector. Home Insights has been performing wind mitigation inspections in the area for over a decade. Call us at 813-927-4250 to get a quote or schedule your inspection today!
Our Wind Mitigation Inspections
In 1992, Hurricane Andrew’s devastation in South Florida prompted new building codes across Florida to make homes more resilient against hurricane-force winds. Since then, storms like Hurricanes Helene and Milton have underscored the importance of these standards, as we continue to face severe weather threats. A wind mitigation inspection assesses your home’s readiness, potentially helping you save on insurance premiums if it meets these strengthened standards.
If your home was built before 1992, it may still qualify for discounts based on any remodels or updates. Home Insights provides wind mitigation inspections to evaluate how well your home can stand up to hurricane winds. Our report will recommend steps to enhance your home’s storm protection and increase your eligibility for insurance discounts. Contact us today to schedule your inspection and secure a safer, more storm-ready home.
What Does a Wind Mitigation Inspection Look For?
When we conduct a wind mitigation inspection in Tampa, Largo, Seminole, Brandon, or nearby areas, we assess specific features of your home that affect its wind resistance. Key areas of focus include:
-
Age and material of the roof
-
Type of underlayment
-
Attachment method of roof deck to trusses or rafters
-
How roof trusses or rafters are secured to exterior walls
-
Strength of the garage door
-
Availability and strength of protective shutters on all windows and doors
We provide this information, along with supporting photographs, to your insurance provider, which may qualify you for savings on premiums. If your home lacks the recommended materials or construction, updates can bring your property up to code and enhance its resilience. A typical wind mitigation inspection takes about 30 minutes, and we’ll need access to both your home’s exterior and attic.

In property inspection and insurance, location is a crucial factor that shapes the types of services and inspections needed. Here in Florida, our exposure to natural disasters like hurricanes and tropical storms varies across regions, which influences how homes are built and what reinforcements are necessary.
