Trees are the inland roof's main enemy — limb impact and debris damming valleys cause more claims than wind alone.
On cost: the roof costs what it costs, but a wind-mitigation-optimized install can pay back a meaningful share of that through premium reductions over its life.
A wind mitigation inspection (Form OIR-B1-1802) can lower premiums on any roof and is required for most discounts.
How it works
Secondary water resistance (peel-and-stick underlayment), hip roof shape if you already have it, proper nailing pattern, and roof-to-wall attachment. A roofer who knows the OIR-B1-1802 form builds to score well on it.
