Wind Mitigation FAQ's
What is a wind mitigation inspection?
A wind mitigation inspection evaluates specific construction features that can help a home withstand hurricane-force winds. In Florida, these features are commonly documented using the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, also known as OIR-B1-1802.
The inspection can identify existing wind-resistant features and may reveal opportunities to strengthen the home.
Does Carey Construction perform wind mitigation inspections?
Carey Construction specializes in completing construction and hurricane-hardening improvements identified through wind mitigation inspections. If you already have an inspection report, we can review the recommended construction work and help you determine the next step
Can wind mitigation lower my homeowners insurance?
Potentially. Florida homeowners may qualify for insurance premium discounts based on qualifying wind-resistant features of their homes.
The amount varies based on the property, improvements, insurance carrier, and policy, so Carey Construction does not guarantee a specific insurance savings amount.
What improvements can help with wind mitigation?
Depending on your home, improvements may include impact-resistant windows and doors, garage door protection, stronger roof-to-wall connections, improved roof deck attachment, and secondary water resistance.
Your wind mitigation inspection or My Safe Florida Home inspection can help identify which improvements apply to your property.
What is the My Safe Florida Home Program?
My Safe Florida Home is a State of Florida program designed to help eligible homeowners identify and complete improvements that strengthen their homes against hurricanes.
The program currently offers free wind mitigation inspections and grants for qualifying improvements, subject to eligibility and available funding.
How much can I receive through My Safe Florida Home?
Eligible homeowners may qualify for up to $10,000 in grant funding.
Under the Matching Grant program, eligible homeowners can receive $2 in state grant funding for every $1 contributed by the homeowner, with a maximum state contribution of $10,000.
Program rules, eligibility requirements, appropriations, and available funding apply.
What improvements qualify for My Safe Florida Home funding?
Current eligible improvement categories include opening protection, such as impact-resistant windows, doors, garage doors, and skylights; roof-to-wall attachment; roof deck attachment; and secondary water resistance.
Only improvements recommended through the program’s initial inspection and completed according to program requirements are eligible for funding
Should I start construction before my My Safe Florida Home grant is approved?
No. If you intend to seek reimbursement through My Safe Florida Home, you should follow the program’s required process and receive grant approval before beginning qualifying construction.
Can Carey Construction help if I already received My Safe Florida Home approval?
Yes. If you have your inspection report, grant approval, or recommended improvements, contact Carey Construction. We can review the construction scope, discuss the improvements needed, and prepare an estimate for qualifying work.
