Would you like to save money on your homeowners insurance?
According to Florida Statute 626.0629, insurance companies are required to offer Florida homeowners “discounts, credits, or other rate differentials…” for construction techniques that reduce damage and loss in windstorms. These discounts became effective in 2003.
You may be eligilble for a reduction in your homeowners insurance, a FREE wind mitigation inspection and up to $5000 in funds from the State of Florida’s “My Safe Florida Home Program“.
If for any reason you do NOT qualify for this State of Florida Free Inspection, or you have an immediate need, please give us a call at:

Make sure you’re covered – Insurance companies do not accept new applications or requests for increased coverage once a hurricane nears Florida.
Know what your policy covers – Flood and wind damage are often covered in separate policies. Decide if you need this protection and contact your agent for more information.
Make sure your coverage is adequate – You may have made recent home improvements or purchases. Consider increasing your coverage if your policy doesn’t cover the current value of your home and contents.
Keep policy documents safe – In addition to information on your agent, you should write down the name of your insurance company, policy number, and a telephone number to report a claim.
Fortify your home – Inspect your roof, making sure you have roof anchors installed on your home. Replace your windows and doors that don’t pass the impact test, or cover them with shutters. A fortified home with the right doors, windows and shutters will save you money on your insurance premiums (link to discounts).
Secure your property and clear your yard of any debris, lawn furniture, tools or other objects that could turn into dangerous projectiles in high winds.
