Windstorm Inspection
Why have a windstorm inspection? • To save money on your homeowner’s insurance. • Better understand how your home will perform in high winds. • Peace of mind knowing you have taken the right steps to protect your home. Who can and who can’t get an inspection? Most residential homes qualify for a windstorm inspection. These include single family site built homes, town homes and condominiums. What will it tell me? On The Level Home Inspection, state-certified inspectors will assess 7 critical areas of your home – roof deck and attachments, roof to wall connections, roof shape and bracing, secondary water barrier, roof covering and opening protection for windows and doors. Windstorm and hurricane mitigation experts agree that these features are critical to “harden” your home and safe guard your family.

More and more insurance companies are requiring color photos to be included. What will I save? Every home is different and some have better features than others. However, a State of Florida analysis projects the average homeowner in North Florida will save approximately $250 in the first year.
