Roof Condition and Attachment: We inspect the roof’s structure, including the type of covering, the quality of installation, and the method of attachment to the house, to ensure it can withstand strong winds.
Roof-to-Wall Connections: Our inspectors check how the roof is secured to the walls, looking for features like hurricane clips or straps that enhance wind resistance.
Window and Door Protection: We evaluate the types of windows and doors, including the presence of impact-resistant glass or shutters, to determine their effectiveness in withstanding high winds.
Exterior Walls and Foundations: The inspection includes an assessment of the exterior walls and foundations for their ability to resist wind pressures and maintain structural integrity.
Opening Protection: We check for the protection of openings such as skylights, vents, and garage doors to ensure they are fortified against wind damage.
Insurance Discounts: By identifying and documenting wind-resistant features, you may qualify for significant discounts on your homeowner’s insurance, leading to substantial long-term savings.
