Wind Mitigation Inspections in South Florida

✅ Why a Wind Mitigation Inspection Matters

Living in South Florida means enjoying year-round sunshine—but it also means being prepared for hurricanes and high-wind storms. A Wind Mitigation Inspection is a vital step in protecting your property, saving on insurance premiums, and ensuring your home meets state-required safety standards.

At CBG Home Inspections, we specialize in detailed, insurance-approved wind mitigation inspections for residential properties across Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade Counties. With fast 24-hour reporting, modern tools, and a commitment to integrity, we help homeowners and real estate professionals secure accurate reports and better premiums.

✅ What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

A Wind Mitigation Inspection assesses your home’s construction features and upgrades that help resist hurricane-force winds. Florida insurance companies often offer substantial discounts if your home includes certain wind-resistant features. Our inspection is designed to document those features and help you qualify for those savings.

✅ What We Inspect During a Wind Mitigation

We thoroughly assess the following components of your home:

🏠 Roof Shape & Covering

  • Is your roof a hip shape (most wind-resistant)?

  • What type of shingles or tiles are used?

  • Is your roof installed according to current Florida Building Code?

🔩 Roof-to-Wall Connections

  • Are hurricane straps or clips used?

  • Are nails or screws present for enhanced stability?

📐 Roof Deck Attachment

  • Type of sheathing used (e.g., plywood thickness)

  • Nail size, pattern, and spacing

🪟 Opening Protection

  • Are windows and doors impact-resistant?

  • Do you have shutters, impact glass, or rated garage doors?

💨 Secondary Water Resistance (SWR)

  • Underlayment layer that protects your home in case shingles fail

    • Can prevent costly water intrusion
