How a Wind Mitigation Inspection Can Save You Thousands on Home Insurance

If you own a home in South Florida, you already know how important it is to prepare for hurricane season. But did you know that a wind mitigation inspection can also save you hundreds—sometimes thousands—of dollars every year on your homeowners insurance premiums?

At Kenco Home Inspections, we specialize in wind mitigation inspections that help protect your home and your wallet. Here's everything you need to know.


What Is Wind Mitigation and Why Is It So Important?

Wind mitigation refers to the building features that help reduce damage during strong wind events like hurricanes. These include roof-to-wall connections, impact-rated windows and doors, gable end bracing, roof deck attachment, and roof geometry.

Florida insurance companies are legally required to offer discounts to homeowners whose homes meet specific wind-resistant construction standards. But here's the catch: even one weak spot can disqualify you from those valuable discounts.

The Hidden Cost of One Missed Opening

Let’s break it down. If just one window, door, garage, or skylight isn’t properly protected, your insurance company could deny the entire discount.
That means:

  • No insurance credits

  • 💸 Higher monthly premiums

  • 🚨 False sense of security in a storm

Many homeowners think their homes are ready, only to find out that a single oversight cost them dearly. That’s why a professional wind mitigation inspection is so critical.
