Wind Mitigation
In South Florida, wind mitigation is not optional — it’s essential. Located within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), our region faces some of the most stringent building code requirements in the country.
At Performance Roofing and Impact Windows, we specialize in helping homeowners meet — and exceed — these requirements through structural reinforcement, compliant roofing systems, and expert documentation.

Understanding Florida's HVHZ Requirements
The Florida Building Code (FBC) has specific provisions for homes in HVHZ zones, which include Miami-Dade and Broward counties. One of the critical structural requirements involves the roof-to-wall connection, commonly referred to as wood-to-wall strapping. This system is designed to transfer wind uplift forces from the roof down through the walls and into the foundation, helping prevent catastrophic roof loss during a hurricane.
FBC Section 708.8 and related chapters call for proper anchoring using clips, straps, or continuous load paths that meet tested engineering standards. In many existing homes — especially those built before modern codes — these connections are either insufficient or undocumented.

Our Wind Mitigation Services
At Performance Roofing and Impact Windows, we don’t just install roofs — we evaluate the entire structural system that supports them.
Our wind mitigation services are designed to ensure your home meets code, qualifies for insurance discounts, and most importantly, provides safety and peace of mind. Our team coordinates with licensed structural engineers to:
- Perform roof-to-wall connection inspections
- Assess the presence, spacing, and type of existing strapping
- Identify any deficiencies based on current code
- Generate detailed documentation and reports for your building department or insurance carrier
If additional strapping or reinforcements are required, we will:
- Provide a clear scope of work
- Deliver code-compliant specifications based on the engineer’s findings
- Include a detailed budget for the corrective work
- Coordinate the installation with your roof replacement or structural upgrade project
Secure Your Home Against the Storm
Why It Matters
Roof-to-wall connections are not just a checkbox for permitting — they’re a critical line of defense during extreme weather. Proper strapping can significantly reduce the likelihood of roof failure and may even lower your windstorm insurance premiums when certified through a wind mitigation inspection.
