FAQ
Is this program free of charge?
No, this program is not free. However, in most cases, the cost is covered if you qualify. We leverage the savings on your home insurance premiums resulting from roof/window replacements to help offset the project’s expenses. Our goal is to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
Is this a government Program?
While this program is not directly operated by the government, it is designed to meet government-approved safety standards for hurricane protection. Our program aligns with the latest regulations and guidelines to ensure the safety and security of your home.
Who is paying for this?
In most cases, if you qualify, the cost is covered by utilizing the savings on your home insurance premiums. When you replace your roof/windows, your home insurance premiums can decrease, and we help ensure those savings cover the cost of the project. This way, most homeowners don’t end up paying anything more than they are used to.
What if I don't have home insurance?
Home insurance is highly recommended, especially in areas prone to hurricanes like Florida. Not having insurance coverage can leave you vulnerable to significant losses. Our program focuses on securing your home against hurricane damage, and we will help you obtain appropriate coverage for the best possible safety and protection.
How much does a new roof/windows cost?
The cost of a new roof/windows varies depending on factors such as the size of your home, the materials used, and other specific requirements. We offer personalized assessments to provide a solution tailored to your needs. Our goal is to find a method that fits your budget and provides the most safety and value.
Do I qualify if I'm on a fixed income?
Absolutely! Our program is designed to accommodate homeowners on fixed incomes. We understand the financial challenges and aim to make the program accessible to as many qualified individuals as possible. We provide tailored solutions that align with your specific circumstances, ensuring you can benefit from the program.
I already have shutters. Can I still qualify for new windows?
Having shutters is beneficial and adds an extra layer of protection. However, current building codes now require impact windows for improved safety and energy efficiency. Our program focuses on helping homeowners meet these updated standards. We can assess your situation and discuss the best options available to enhance your home’s hurricane resilience.
What if my roof/windows are already new?
If your roof/windows are already new, that’s great! However, our program focuses on enhancing your home’s hurricane safety and bringing it up to the latest code requirements. We can assess your current situation and discuss additional measures or improvements that can further protect your home.
The crisis in the Florida insurance market
Florida’s home insurance situation is getting tough. Over the past few years, many insurance companies have closed down or left the state, making it harder for homeowners to find affordable insurance. This is partly because of extra costs these companies are having to pay when other companies go bust, which the remaining insurance companies need to cover.
Another big reason for this tough situation is Florida’s weather. It’s often hit by hurricanes that can cause a lot of damage, and that makes it a risky place for insurance companies. They worry about having to pay out too much in claims, especially when roofs get old and are more likely to get damaged.
Some insurance companies are staying, but they’re being very picky about who they insure. They don’t want to insure homes with old roofs, and they’re worried about fraudulent claims, especially after a big storm.
What can you do in this tough situation? Keep your home in good shape. Regularly check your roof and fix small issues before they become big ones. Consider replacing your roof if it’s close to 15 years old. Install features that can help protect your home from wind damage. Keeping your property maintained and safe will make it more attractive to insurance companies.
