The inspection form offers three roof shapes: hip roof, flat roof, and other. Hip roofs slope down on all sides and help resist clashes with hurricane winds. For that reason, they tend to get a bigger premium discount.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Roboto|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#1d5395″ header_2_font_size=”30px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||5px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

For instance, they will check for shatterproof windows, bracing on the garage door, hurricane-rated doors, and storm shutters. Without these measures, flying debris can compromise your home’s pressure barrier. Consider putting up hurricane shutters before the inspector arrives to make sure you get this credit.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” animation_style=”fade” animation_duration=”400ms” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/app.homeinspectorstoolbox.com\/new-client-register?inspector=HIT-rw7wR” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Request an Inspection” button_alignment=”center” button_alignment_tablet=”center” button_alignment_phone=”center” button_alignment_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”20px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#c78d37″ button_border_width=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]
