Quick Tips
Some roofing tips that can prevent negligence:
Most major roof repairs can be taken care of before they get out of hand. Learn how to spot impending problems, so you can fix the problems before they become major issues. Any home repair job can turn into a disaster if not taken care of immediately. This is especially true with roofing jobs due to the fact that roofs are always exposed to the variable conditions of the weather, including rain, freezing or extreme solar temperatures, or hurricane force winds that will expose any weakness that was left unattended. What could have cost less than your weekly grocery bill can all of a sudden surpass your monthly mortgage. Here are some of the many tips that can stop huge roofing repair bills before they start.
Wind Mitigation
RETROFIT ROOF TRUSSES & WIND MITIGATION INSPECTIONS
What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
A wind mitigation inspection (also called a windstorm mitigation inspection) is when a certified inspector checks your home's wind-resistant features. These features can be anything from door/window coverings to the way your roof is attached to your home to how your roof is sealed to prevent water from entering. Though a wind mitigation inspection is not required to get Florida homeowners' insurance, it can result in substantial savings.
Why Does Wind Mitigation Save You Money?
A wind mitigation inspection is the only inspection that can significantly reduce the cost of your insurance policy. That’s because this inspection can determine whether your home has features that drastically decrease severe property loss from hurricane winds. As always, the safer and stronger your home is, the lower your premiums may be. All the features the inspector looks for may seem like minor details, but they make a world of difference when a windstorm or hurricane strikes. The appropriate wind mitigation features can be the difference between your home weathering the storm and a total rebuild.
