Update the Record
A new wind mitigation inspection after roof replacement is typically worth scheduling as soon as the roof work is complete and final documents are in hand. Wind mitigation credits are tied to the home's current construction details, and a roof replacement can change multiple items insurers care about, including the roof covering, the roof deck attachment pattern, and whether a sealed roof deck is present.
In Jacksonville, insurance underwriting is sensitive to wind risk, so having an updated OIR-B1-1802 wind mitigation form can prevent your policy from being rated on older information. If your last wind mitigation report was completed before the roof replacement, it may still show the previous roof covering or omit improvements added during the project.
Jacksonville Metal Roofing provides wind mitigation inspections focused specifically on capturing the post-replacement conditions clearly: photos, measurements, and checkboxes supported by what is visible and verifiable. If you are also planning a metal roof or already installed one, you can get a feel for our approach and documentation standards through Jacksonville Metal Roofing.
Insurance Documentation
A wind mitigation inspection is not a “roof looks new” letter. It is a standardized evaluation based on observable details and documentation that fits the Florida OIR form.
During a post-roof-replacement inspection, we typically verify:
What we do not do: mark upgrades without proof. If something is concealed after the reroof, we will tell you what is needed—attic access, permit records, product approvals, or contractor documentation—to support a credit.
Avoid a Second Visit
If the attic hatch is painted shut, obstructed, or there is no safe path to the inspection area, deck attachment and roof-to-wall connections may not be verifiable. Clearing a path ahead of time helps avoid a second visit.
Insurers often ask for proof the roof replacement was permitted and finalized. If you have the permit number, final inspection, or contractor paperwork ready, it supports the update.
A sealed roof deck credit needs acceptable evidence. If it was installed during the reroof, bring product information or the contractor's documentation so the report can reflect it accurately.
Opening protection credits depend on approvals and ratings. If labels are missing or products are unidentifiable, we document what can be verified and avoid unsupported checkboxes.
Hip roof credits have specific definitions. We measure and document roof geometry so the form matches the home, not a best guess.
Inspection to Delivery
We confirm the roof replacement is complete and ask what paperwork you have available—permit information, contractor invoice, product approvals, and build photos. If an insurer requested something specific, tell us up front.
We photograph required items, verify roof-to-wall connections where accessible, and check deck attachment in the attic when possible. Exterior photos capture roof covering and geometry. Safety and access determine what can be observed.
We complete the Florida wind mitigation form based on what we can verify, then pair it with clear photo documentation. If a credit cannot be supported, we note what evidence would be required.
You receive the finished report to submit to your insurance carrier or agent. If questions come back from underwriting, we can clarify what was documented and why.
Planning the Visit
In Jacksonville, a new wind mitigation inspection after roof replacement typically costs about $100 to $200 for a standard single-family home, with higher pricing when access is difficult, the home is larger, or additional documentation review is needed. Condos and multi-unit buildings can vary based on what areas are accessible.
Final cost depends on travel, attic accessibility, roof height and complexity, and whether you want the inspection coordinated around other items such as verifying opening protection details. Exact pricing is confirmed when we schedule the visit and review the property details.

Answers Before You Schedule
Schedule it once the roof replacement is complete and you can provide any final paperwork you have, because the inspection documents the home's current conditions for rating. If the roof is mid-project or key elements are still concealed without documentation, the report may not be able to support certain credits.
Not automatically, because credits depend on specific features documented on the Florida OIR wind mitigation form, not simply the roof's age. A roof replacement can improve what qualifies, but the report must be supported by observable details or acceptable documentation.
Bring what you have from the reroof: permit information, final inspection sign-off if available, contractor invoice or contract, product approvals, and any photos taken during the job. In Jacksonville, insurers commonly ask for proof to support sealed roof deck and roof covering details when they are not visually verifiable after the work is finished.
Often yes, because roof deck attachment and many roof-to-wall connections are typically verified from the attic. If attic access is not available or safe, we can still document exterior items, but some interior verifications may be limited and the form must reflect that.
A sealed roof deck credit is verified only when there is acceptable evidence, which may include documentation from the roof replacement or qualifying visual evidence where accessible. If it was installed but cannot be supported by proof, the report should not claim it, because underwriters can reject the form.
Yes, we complete the report based on what is accessible and verifiable, and we document any limitations. If connectors are concealed or only partially visible, the form selection must match what can be confirmed, and we can explain what additional access or documentation would be needed to support a different classification.
If you have opening protection you want considered, we can document it, but it must meet the form's requirements and be supported by labels, approvals, or verifiable ratings. If the products cannot be identified or do not qualify, the report will reflect that accurately.
