Victoria Barbour • December 11, 2024
Living in Florida means you have to embrace sunshine, beaches, and yes, hurricane season. If you own a home here, you’re familiar with the routine: boarding up windows, stockpiling emergency supplies, and hoping for the best when storm alerts come through.
But what if there’s a more effective way to safeguard your home? That’s where a retrofit roof mitigation inspection comes in—your best defense against hurricane damage and inflated insurance premiums.
What Is a Retrofitting Roof Mitigation Inspection?
Imagine it as a health check-up for your house. Our inspectors thoroughly evaluate how well your home can withstand the fierce Florida winds. We check everything from the connections of your roof to the way your walls are anchored to the foundation.
Why Should You Care?
It boils down to two things: Money and Safety.
Many homeowners don’t realize that one inspection could:
- Save you up to 35% on your insurance
- Reveal hidden weaknesses in your home’s structure
- Provide peace of mind during hurricane season
