Wind Mitigation
Louisiana Wind Mitigation Inspections
In Louisiana, a wind mitigation inspection documents construction features that improve a home’s resistance to hurricane and high-wind damage. Proper documentation may help homeowners qualify for insurance premium discounts, depending on their carrier’s requirements.
A wind mitigation inspection evaluates items such as:
- Roof covering and condition
- Roof deck attachment
- Roof-to-wall connections
- Secondary water resistance
- Opening protection (when applicable)
Inspections are completed using the state-approved form recognized by the Louisiana Department of Insurance.
Some insurance companies may require their own wind mitigation or underwriting forms. When provided by the homeowner or agent, we can complete carrier-specific wind mitigation documentation based on observed construction features.
For scheduling, call (504) 382-2410.
Insurance Roof Evaluations
Insurance Roof Evaluations
Some insurance carriers require additional documentation regarding the condition of a roof before issuing, renewing, or continuing coverage.
As a Louisiana State Licensed Residential and Commercial General Contractor and Louisiana Licensed Wind Mitigation Surveyor, Michael J. Turner performs professional roof condition evaluations and can provide written documentation regarding the observed condition of the roofing system based on a visual inspection.
Evaluations may include roof covering condition, visible deterioration, remaining service life considerations, evidence of active leakage, storm-related damage, installation concerns, and other observable conditions that may affect insurability.
If your insurance company has requested a roof evaluation, contact us to discuss the form requirements and scheduling.
