Document the Features That May Lower Your Premium
Florida homes are built to stand up to hurricanes and high winds, and many already have features that make them more resistant to storm damage than an insurer assumes by default. A wind mitigation inspection is how you put those features on paper. It documents the wind-resistant characteristics of your home so your insurance company can see them and apply any discounts you may qualify for.
The inspection focuses on the parts of your home that matter most in a windstorm. That includes the shape of your roof, the type of roof covering, how the roof is attached to the walls with connections such as clips and straps, how the roof deck is fastened, and whether your windows, doors, and other openings have protection. Each of these features affects how your home is likely to perform in a storm, and each can influence what an insurer charges to cover it.
Because this is a scheduled, non-emergency service, you can plan it around your own timeline. Many Central Florida homeowners request a wind mitigation inspection when they buy a home, when they renew or shop their policy, or right after new roofing or storm work, when their home's wind-resistant features may have changed.
- Documents roof shape, covering, and attachment features
- Records roof-to-wall connections such as clips and straps
- Notes roof deck fastening and opening protection
- Gives your insurer what they need to apply any discounts
How a Wind Mitigation Inspection Works
When you schedule with us, we set a time that works for you and arrive prepared to examine the specific features insurers look for. We look at your roof from the outside and, where accessible, inside the attic to confirm how the roof deck and roof-to-wall connections are built. We work through each category on the standard inspection form so nothing that could help you is overlooked.
Once the inspection is complete, you receive the finished inspection form documenting what your home has. That form is the document you or your agent provides to your insurance company, and it is what allows the insurer to review your home's features and apply any premium discounts you may be eligible for. We describe what we found in plain language so you understand what is on the form and how it may fit into your policy conversation.
- Scheduled visit at a time that works for you
- Exterior roof and, where accessible, attic assessment
- Each standard inspection category reviewed in full

Why Homeowners Choose Onsite Mitigation & Restoration
Wind mitigation ties directly into the roofing and storm work we already do every day across Central Florida, so we understand what these features are and why they matter. When your inspection is part of a larger project, such as a roof replacement or storm repair, having the same local team handle the inspection keeps everything coordinated and the details consistent.
We keep the process straightforward and honest. We document what your home actually has, we explain it clearly, and we hand you the form you need. Whether the inspection stands on its own or follows roofing work we performed, our goal is to make sure the storm-resistant features of your home are on record so your insurer can account for them.
- Local Central Florida team that knows roofing and storms
- Coordinates cleanly with roofing and storm projects
- Clear, plain-language explanation of the findings
- You receive the completed form for your insurer
