re: Wind Mitigation Inspection

Yea I hadn’t heard about it. I think it started after ida. They have an inspector come out and look for certain construction features like roof design, hurricane ties, gable reinforcements, hurricane shutters or impact resistant glass.

Have to do some minor repairs to some soffit and fascia before I get the inspection, but the savings is around 1500 for the year.

Comprehensive quote was a complete umbrella policy for $3000 per year. Only thing not included there was flood, and I’m in an X zone that has never flooded. We carry it anyway but it’s cheap.

There’s also a program with the LA Dept of Nat Resources where you can get 50% of home improvements paid for to do anything to upgrade your home’s energy efficiency. Includes windows, ac/heat system, insulation, water heater replacement, and some others. They pay 50% and you finance the rest via the LA Credit Union at around 4-6%. Probably going to get windows replaced with it.
