Wind Mitigation
Living in the Sunshine State comes with its unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to protecting your home from the powerful forces of nature. Don't let the unpredictability of the weather catch you off guard; invest in a comprehensive Wind Mitigation Inspection with Surf to Turf Home Inspections.
Why Wind Mitigation Matters in Florida:
1. The Impact on Your Premiums
Back in 2006, Citizens Insurance, one of the largest property insurers in Florida, requested a substantial 45% rate increase for wind insurance. The stakes are high, and the financial impact of wind damage on your premiums cannot be underestimated. Rates can get the best of you if you aren't prepared. At Surf to Turf, we know what it takes to be prepared. We're highly-trained in wind mitigation and we believe in providing you with proactive solutions to protect your home and your wallet.
2. Florida's Unique Insurance Landscape
With wind damage potentially accounting for a significant portion of your premium, it's crucial to take every possible step to mitigate risk. Florida law recognizes this and has mandated insurance companies to offer discounts and credits for existing building features and home improvements that reduce damage from wind. The catch? To qualify for these discounts, your home must undergo a certified wind inspection. Unfortunately, many Floridians are unaware of this crucial law.
