Maximize Your Savings: Wind Mitigation Inspections for Florida Homeowners

In Florida, preparing for hurricane season isn’t optional—it’s essential. But did you know

that a simple wind mitigation inspection could help you save up to 25% on your

homeowner’s insurance?

At Kenco Home Inspections, we’ve seen firsthand how a properly fortified home not only

provides peace of mind—it also puts money back in your pocket.

What Are Wind Mitigation Inspections?

Wind mitigation inspections evaluate your home’s ability to withstand strong winds and

hurricanes. Our inspectors assess features such as:

● Roof shape and coverings

● Roof-to-wall connections

● Impact-resistant windows and doors

● Secondary water resistance

● Hurricane shutters and garage door bracing

Florida insurance companies offer substantial premium discounts for homes with these

protective features.

How Wind Mitigation Can Lower Your Insurance Premiums

Insurance companies in Florida are required to provide credits for wind-resistive

features. These discounts are backed by state legislation and can result in significant

long-term savings—especially if your home is located in a high-risk wind zone.

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Your Wind Mitigation Inspection

1. Schedule with a licensed inspector like Kenco Home Inspections.

2. Prepare your home by making sure areas like the attic and garage are accessible.

3. Inspection takes about 45-60 minutes.

4. Receive a certified report you can submit to your insurance provider for possible

discounts.

Benefits of Wind Mitigation for Florida Homeowners

How Much Can You Save?

While savings vary, many Florida homeowners see a 15–25% reduction in their

premiums. That’s potentially hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually, depending

on your home’s location and insurance provider.
