Get a written quoteNewer subdivisions sit on former farmland with few trees, which means full sun and full wind exposure on every slope. New-construction underlayment is often the minimum synthetic; upgrading it during any re-roof is a small cost with a big insurance payoff. Trees are the inland roof's main enemy — limb impact and debris damming valleys cause more claims than wind alone.
On cost: the hurricane deductible is a percentage of dwelling coverage — often 2% to 5% — not a flat amount, so a claim needs to clear a much higher bar than a regular wind claim.
A wind mitigation inspection (Form OIR-B1-1802) can lower premiums on any roof and is required for most discounts.
How it works
The hurricane deductible applies only during a named storm declared by the National Hurricane Center and is a percentage of your dwelling coverage. On a home insured for a mid-six-figure amount, that can be five figures. Every other wind event uses the regular flat deductible.
Florida shortened the window in the 2022 reforms — it is now measured in months, not years, from the date of loss. Don't wait.
