Autumn Wind Inspections
Wind Mitigation Inspections in Central Florida
Autumn Wind Inspections documents roof and wind-resistant construction features that may support available Florida insurance discounts. Schedule with Michael Hopp.
Document your home's wind-resistant features
A wind mitigation inspection documents qualifying construction features that may help a Florida homeowner receive available insurance discounts. Rather than estimating storm damage, the inspection evaluates and records features of the property that are relevant to wind resistance.
Autumn Wind Inspections provides wind mitigation inspections throughout Central Florida. Features that may be evaluated include the roof covering permit date, roof-deck attachment, roof-to-wall connection, roof geometry, secondary water resistance, and opening protection.
Available insurance credits are determined by your insurance carrier based on the documented features of the property. An inspection does not guarantee savings, an insurance quote, or the home's performance during a storm.
Construction features the inspection may evaluate
Roof covering and roof shape
Roof covering permit information and roof geometry are among the features that may be documented.
Roof-deck attachment
Visible information about how the roof deck is attached to the underlying structure, where safely accessible.
Roof-to-wall connections
Accessible connections between the roof structure and walls, along with secondary water resistance where it can be documented.
Opening protection
Protection associated with openings such as windows and doors, based on visible conditions and available documentation.
Before your appointment
- Ask your insurance agent whether a wind mitigation report is needed and whether there are specific instructions.
- If available, gather roof permits and documentation for window, door, or shutter products.
- Coordinate safe access to the property and attic with the owner.
- Tell Michael if you also need a Four-Point inspection so the requested services can be discussed together.
Common questions
Is wind mitigation the same as a Four-Point inspection?
No. Wind mitigation documents wind-resistant construction features that may support insurance credits. A Four-Point inspection documents the general condition of the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems for insurance review.
How much could I save on insurance?
Savings are not guaranteed. The available credits depend on the documented property features and your insurance carrier. Ask your agent how the completed report affects your policy.
Does the inspection include repairs or improvements?
The service evaluates and documents existing features. It does not install shutters, modify roof connections, or carry out construction work. Discuss any proposed improvements and insurance questions with the appropriate contractor and your insurance agent.
How do I schedule wind mitigation only?
Choose “Additional Services” on the scheduling page if you only need a wind mitigation inspection, a Four-Point inspection, or both. Contact Michael if you need help choosing the appropriate inspection services.
