Reduce the cost of insuranceWind Mitigation Inspections are a valuable inspection service that may reduce your windstorm insurance premium. Insurance discounts are available for building features that reduce damage during high wind events.
The discounts are justified because stronger, more wind-resistive structures have lower windstorm losses, which mean reduced costs to insurance companies. We have found that most existing structures have at least one or more wind resistive construction features and may qualify for insurance discounts. |
