Wind Mitigation Inspection Checklist — Done on the Roof | ReportWalk

A wind mitigation inspection really asks one thing: when the hurricane shows up, does the roof stay on? You answer it in six parts. Two of them from a Florida attic, in August.

So here’s the wind mitigation inspection checklist in ReportWalk. Install it once from the template library, and it stays on your phone.

Roof covering. Deck attachment. Roof-to-wall. Roof shape. Secondary water resistance. Opening protection. Each one is its own section.

Start on the roof. Open Roof Covering, tap once, and talk.

“Asphalt shingles. Permitted in twenty nineteen. Built to the Florida Building Code.”

Covering type, permit, code compliance: filled.

Then Roof Geometry. “Hip roof. Ninety-two percent.”

Now the attic. Bring water. Open the roof deck attachment section.

“Plywood deck. 8d nails, six inches at the edges, six in the field.”

Deck material: plywood. Attachment: level C. You didn’t type a word, which is lucky, because your hands are now mostly sweat.

Roof-to-Wall Connection. “Double wraps, on every truss I can see.”

Take the photo of the strap while you’re in there. It stays with that section, with the GPS, time and weather on it.

Back outside, where the air is free. Opening Protection. “Impact glass on every window. Rated shutters on the garage door.”

All openings protected. Protection type: combination. Secondary water resistance, same way.

Sign it on the phone, and the wind mitigation report is ready. Your logo, every answer, the photos. PDF or live link.

The hurricane, as usual, did not ask for a copy.
