Know what an inspection may document.
Inspection prep
Prepare for your wind-mitigation inspection.
A wind-mitigation inspection documents the hurricane-resistant features of your home and may identify recommended improvements. A better-prepared homeowner has an easier time understanding the report afterward.
Central Florida Storm Guide helps you know what to expect, what to prepare, and how to use the report once it arrives.
Independent guidance. Local contractor matching available. No grant or insurance outcome guaranteed.
Prepare property, policy, roof, and prior-project records.
Use the report before jumping into a contract.
What the inspection may document
The inspection may look at items such as:
- Roof covering
- Roof deck attachment
- Roof-to-wall connections
- Secondary water resistance
- Opening protection
- Windows
- Exterior doors
- Garage doors
- Skylights or glass block, if applicable
Before the inspection
Prepare:
- Property address
- Homeowner contact information
- Insurance declarations page
- Any prior wind-mitigation reports
- Roof permit or roof replacement records, if available
- Photos or records of prior window, door, garage door, or roof work
- Access information for attic or relevant areas, if requested by the inspector
After the inspection
Do not jump straight into a contractor contract. First, read the report and identify:
- What is already documented
- What improvements are recommended
- Which openings or roof details are involved
- Which contractor categories may be needed
- What questions to ask before quoting
We can help with
- Inspection-prep checklist
- Report review
- Recommended improvement summary
- Contractor question list
- Quote comparison plan
Best next step
If your inspection is scheduled, use the prep checklist. If your report has arrived, send it for review before requesting quotes.
