What Improvements Can I Make To Get The Discount On The Home Insurance?

Typical examples of home improvements that can save you on the insurance premium are as follows.

Roofing coverings and installation that meet Florida Building Code
Plywood/OSB roof sheathing with minimum thickness of 7/16 inch attached to the roof truss/rafter by 8d common nails spaced a maximum of 6 inches.
Metal roof to wall connectors consisting of two separate straps secured with a minimum of 2 nails on front side and a minimum of 1 nail of the opposing side

I Have A Home Built After 2004. Do I Still Need A Wind Mitigation Inspection?

Any homes built prior to 2002
The discounts for the home built after 2002 are built in a quote already.
The proof of opening protection is required regardless of the year the house was built.

100% of the inspection companies will give you a discount of having a Wind Mitigation Inspection done at the same time when you order a general home inspection. If separated, you may have to pay two to three times more.
