  • We assess roofing materials, roof slope, framing connectors, bracing, elevated balconies, and the roof’s overall condition to determine its readiness for high winds.
  • Storm-ready homes utilize a secondary water resistance barrier (SWRB). The SWRB adds backup protection against water damage if the primary roofing materials or building envelope fails.
  • Wind mitigation inspectors evaluate the windows’ placement, material, shutters or protection, and impact ratings. Windows are a home or business's most vulnerable exterior element in hurricanes and high-wind events.

Our Windstorm Mitigation Inspection Process

In storm- and hurricane-prone states, insurance companies adjust personalized insurance policies based on wind mitigation reports. A certified wind mitigation inspector assesses a property’s resilience to wind and storm damage based on features like roof gable end-bracing and window protection. The results not only impact insurance costs but also outline improvements to lower risk. We follow a detailed, step-by-step process to provide a holistic understanding of a property’s wind-readiness. Your certified inspector will:
  • Step 1
    Conduct a thorough visual evaluation of the property’s exterior.
  • Step 2
    Access the property’s roof to evaluate materials, measure slopes, and inspect readily accessible elements.
  • Step 3
    Photograph and document all qualifying wind mitigation features.
  • Step 4
    Deliver a detailed wind mitigation report for you to submit to your insurance company.
  • Step 5
    Provide any additional information requested by policy writers, if necessary.

Wind Mitigation Reports for Insurance Policies and Peace of Mind

With insurance premiums rising, property owners are looking for ways to lower ownership expenses. Depending on the state, policy provider, and other factors, windstorm inspections may offer an avenue to cost reduction with additional benefits: confidence and safety. There’s incredible value in knowing your property is less likely to experience structural damage during a weather event. That’s why your local HouseMaster inspector will include personalized recommendations to improve wind resistance and integrity.
