Roof deck attachment method (nail type, spacing)
Roof-to-wall connections (clips, straps, or none)
Roof geometry (hip vs. gable)
Secondary water resistance barrier
Opening protection (shutters impact windows/doors)
It’s a smart, storm-ready move that protects your home and wallet

Frequently Asked Questions
A Wind Mitigation Inspection documents how your home’s roof and structure are built to withstand high winds. In Fort Lauderdale and throughout Broward County, insurance companies use this report (Form OIR-B1-1802) to confirm protective features such as roof covering type, deck attachment, geometry, and opening protection. Homes with stronger wind-resistant features can qualify for valuable insurance discounts.
Yes. Most Florida insurance companies offer premium discounts for homes with verified wind-resistant features. By documenting your roof type, deck attachment, and window protection, a Wind Mitigation Inspection can help reduce your premiums and keep your home compliant with Broward County insurance requirements.
You’ll receive your completed OIR-B1-1802 report with labeled photos within 24–48 hours, often the same day. We send it directly to you or your insurance agent so you can apply discounts or meet renewal deadlines without delay.
Wind Mitigation reports are valid for five years in Florida, unless you make major roof or structural upgrades. Keeping your report up to date ensures you continue receiving available insurance discounts and stay fully compliant with your carrier’s requirements.
You don’t need much, just make sure we can access the attic, roof exterior, and all protected openings (like shutters or impact windows). If available, have any previous permits, roof documentation, or photos of improvements ready. This helps us verify construction features accurately and ensures your OIR-B1-1802 report qualifies for all possible insurance discounts.
