Because of the threat of strong storms in Florida you can qualify for insurance discounts if your home was built to withstand high wind.  In Florida a standard form is used by all insurance companies and inspectors.  We are certified to conduct these inspections.  The inspection will look at the materials and construction methods of your roof.  It will also verify that your doors and windows were rated for wind and impact resistance.  The inspection can also inform you about steps you could take if you plan on remodeling your home to qualify for insurance discounts.  You should especially be interested in this kind of inspection if your house was build in 2003 or earlier.  Consider a having a wind mitigation inspection done at the same time as your home inspection.
