THE 3 KEY STEPS TO THE PROGRAM
1. INSPECT
Having a quality wind-mitigation inspection done to your home is the first step towards making it stronger to withstand hurricanes and saving you money on your home insurance.
All initial inspections
have been awarded.
The inspection report you will receive will provide you with two key benefits:
- Give you the opportunity to share your report with your insurance carrier to make sure you’re currently receiving all available discounts on the hurricane portion of your home insurance premium.
- Be your roadmap to retrofitting your home with the proper improvements to help strengthen it against hurricanes and gain any available discounts on the hurricane portion of your home insurance premium.
2. STRENGTHEN
Using the recommendations contained in your inspection report is the next step towards strengthening your home against hurricanes through the following home improvements:
Roofs & Structure
- Strengthen Roof to Deck Attachments
- Reinforce Roof-to-Wall Connections
- Install Secondary Water Resistance for Roof
Opening Protection
- Window Upgrades
- Exterior Door Upgrades
(including Garage Doors)
Attention Florida Homeowners:
Always be sure to use a licensed contractor registered with the State of Florida for any improvement work you decide on completing, and we recommend getting bids from at least three contractors so you can compare pricing and choose the best option to suit your needs.
3. SAVE
Strengthening your home against hurricanes through proper improvements is a proven path to gain discounts on the hurricane portion of your home insurance premium.
Contact your insurance agent or carrier to:
- Inform them about the improvements you have made in order to gain available discounts on your home insurance premium.
- Speak with them about any other options available for you to save money.
- Wind Upgrades provide discounts by Law.
