NPI Emerald Coast Wind Mitigation Inspections

Providing Wind Mitigation Inspections for Santa Rosa Beach, Destin, Miramar Beach, Watersound, Niceville, Fort Walton Beach & Surrounding Areas

Wind mitigation inspections from NPI Emerald Coast help homeowners save money and keep their homes protected from strong storms. Wind mitigation inspections can be performed as a standalone service, or in conjunction with your general home inspection or 4-point insurance inspection. During a wind mitigation inspection, your inspector will examine and document key features that your insurance company needs to verify to make you eligible for insurance discounts or credits. 

These home features will be documented during your inspection: 

  • The shape of your roof – “HIP” roofs, which are shaped like a pyramid, are the most wind-resistant and qualify you for a discount • Roof deck attachment – the use of specific-sized nails and nail spacing qualify you for discounts
  • The covering of your roof – Asphalt/fiberglass shingles, concrete or clay tiles, metal panels and other reinforced types of roof coverings may qualify for a discount 
  • Roof to wall connections – If your roof is connected to the walls with clips or single/double wraps or straps increase wind resistance and help you get a discount on your premium 
  • Secondary water resistance – a layer of protection between the shingles and plywood roof deck helps protect your home from water intrusion if the shingle layer fails, and can increase your discount
  • Protection of windows and other openings – If your home’s windows have shutters of either Intermediate or Hurricane Protection Type, this can qualify you for additional discounts
