Wind Mitigation Services in Port St. Lucie
Mitigation is lessening the force or threat of something unpleasant. Wind mitigation retrofitting is the home improvement process of hurricanes, tornadoes, and cyclones. In Florida, the term wind mitigation is synonymous with hurricane mitigation.
Wind mitigation focuses on improving the home’s resistance to the wind by improving structural integrity.
Because not all buildings are built to withstand the extremity of wind storms, retrofitting can be done to protect your asset and save you thousands yearly on home insurance.
The Florida Department of Finance states that 15% – 70% of your insurance premium could be attributed to wind-damage risk.
Hurricane season is June 1 through November 3O, putting homeowners in the Port St. Lucie area at substantial risk from hurricanes and windstorms for six out of 12 months every year.
The Wind Mitigation Process in Port St. Lucie
- Start with a certified and licensed building inspection. This usually costs $125 and many insurers require this inspection to be performed before writing an insurance policy.
