Wind Mitigation Services in Bradenton
Protect Your Home & Lower Insurance Costs
Florida is one of the most hurricane-prone states in the country, and strong winds can cause major roof damage if your home isn’t properly protected. At Pro Roofing Services, we provide professional wind mitigation inspections and upgrades designed to strengthen your roof, improve storm resistance, and help you qualify for insurance discounts. Serving Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Parrish, Ellenton, and Palmetto, we ensure your home is prepared for the next storm season and every season after.
What Is Wind Mitigation and Why Is It Important?
Wind mitigation involves reinforcing key areas of your home to reduce the risk of wind damage during hurricanes, tropical storms, and severe weather. Insurance companies in Florida often offer significant premium discounts for homes that meet wind mitigation standards because these upgrades dramatically reduce the likelihood of roof failure.
Benefits of wind mitigation include:
-
Stronger protection against hurricanes
-
Reduced risk of roof uplift
-
Fewer storm-related repairs
-
Lower homeowners insurance premiums
-
Improved structural stability
-
Increased home value
-
Peace of mind during storm season
Florida Homes Face Unique Wind Challenges
Homes along the Gulf Coast face powerful coastal winds, wind-driven rain, and extreme storm conditions. Without proper wind-resistant features, roofs can lift, shingles can tear off, and water can push into your attic.
Wind mitigation prepares your home to withstand:
-
100+ MPH wind gusts
-
Flying debris impact
-
Wind-driven rain
-
Roof deck uplift
-
Shingle and tile blow-off
-
Structural pressure changes
Our Wind Mitigation Services
We provide a full range of wind mitigation inspections, reports, and structural upgrades to help secure your roof and improve its storm performance.
Wind Mitigation Inspections
Our certified inspectors examine your roof and home structure to document existing wind-resistant features and identify areas needing improvement. After the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed wind mitigation report used by insurance companies to determine discounts.
Roof Deck Reinforcement
We reinforce the roof deck using stronger fasteners and approved installation methods that help prevent uplift during high winds — one of the biggest risks during hurricanes.
Gable End Bracing
Gable ends are often the first sections to fail during hurricanes. We add structural bracing that reinforces these walls and reduces the risk of collapse.
Secondary Water Barrier Installation
A secondary water barrier (SWB) provides added protection beneath shingles or tiles. If wind blows roofing materials off, this layer prevents water from entering your home.
Improved Soffit & Vent Protection
Weak soffits can blow out during storms, allowing water into the attic. We reinforce soffit panels and vents to prevent wind-driven rain from entering your home.
Roof-to-Wall Connection Improvements
We upgrade roof-to-wall connections using straps, clips, and anchors designed to strengthen the structural bond between the walls and roof, preventing separation during strong storms.
Impact-Resistant Roofing & Fasteners
We install wind-rated shingles, hurricane-rated metal systems, and high-strength fasteners to protect your roofing system from uplift and debris impact.
What’s Included in a Wind Mitigation Report?
Your wind mitigation report (Form OIR-B1-1802) includes documentation of all features that improve wind resistance, such as:
-
Roof deck attachment strength
-
Roof covering type & rating
-
Roof shape (hip, gable, combination)
-
Secondary water barrier
-
Roof-to-wall connections
-
Opening protection (windows/doors)
-
Soffit strength
-
Wall construction type
This report is submitted to your insurer to secure possible premium reductions.
