Wind Mitigation Assessments
Insurance discounts may be available for certain
building features that reduce damage during high wind events.
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 already,
and may qualify for some insurance discounts without making
changes to the home. Testimonials:

WIND MITIGATION INSPECTION FAQ's:
What is the value of wind discounts for my homeowner's
insurance?
The dollar value of the discounts depends on three primary
factors: 1) the number of wind resistive construction features
present on your home, 2) the location of your home, and 3)
the value of your home. Some individual features may qualify
for significant discounts and others only a few percent. Wind
rates vary by location within the state. Contact your insurance
agent/company to determine the potential value of the discounts
for your home, as each company offers a different discount
schedule.
