A Homeowner’s Guide from Titan Property Inspections

Living in Florida means preparing for hurricane season is part of homeownership. One of the best ways to potentially save money on your homeowners insurance is by obtaining a Wind Mitigation Inspection. This inspection identifies features of your home that help protect it against wind damage and may qualify you for valuable insurance discounts.



To ensure your inspection goes smoothly and accurately reflects your home's hurricane protection features, here are a few important things you should do before your appointment.

Don't Install Hurricane Panels Before the Inspection

Many homeowners install their storm panels before the inspector arrives, thinking it will help the process. However, this can actually delay the inspection and may prevent certain features from being properly documented.

Why should the panels remain off?

✔️ The inspector needs to verify the type of opening protection.

✔️ Labels and product approvals must be photographed.

✔️ The inspector needs to confirm that all windows and doors are protected.

Best Practice?

Keep your hurricane panels stored in an easily accessible location, such as the garage or storage room, and make sure access is available. Do not install the panels on your windows or doors before the inspection unless specifically instructed otherwise.

Keep Your Attic Access Clear

One of the most important parts of a wind mitigation inspection is the attic evaluation.

Gather Any Documentation You Have

These documents can sometimes help verify features that may not be fully visible during the inspection.
