I guess that we will just have to wait and see what Nick is working on. Either way I see the wind mits going the same path as the four point. People will be performing them for $50 or less.

Nick,

Thanks for your hard work on the Wind Mitigation / NACHI approval. Do you have any timeline as to when to expect NACHI inspectors to be certified for Wind Mits?

It appears that The Office of Insurance Regulation left wide open and entirely up to the insurance companies who can perform this inspection. I agree the price for these things will soon be $50 or less.

I had a realestate agent tell, not quote me a price of $75.
I guess next they will be telling my customers how much for all inspections.

I am happy to see the state has addressed the issue of the 7/16" being a valid thickness for roof sheathing. Especially since it never (since way back) has been acceptable for a 24" span. Approved by plan by the examiner over and over again regardless of violation of the minimum standards set by code back to SBCCI 1997. This state is a runaway train and we are on the tracks.

50$ gets you the tail-light warranty from some fly-by-night jack-off, who won't be around in a couple of weeks or months when the underwriter finds a problem or the agent has a question. Good agents realize that customer service, dependability, accurate reporting, and rapid response to inspection requests are worth the necessary fees to keep good companies in business. Insurance inspectors have been bending over to adjust to the ever changing rules and regulations. The ones who have been successful do not charge $50, but typically $150, or $90,roof only. We do charge $50 to re-inspect homes we did in the past for the same agents who send new business.

Oh yeah, did anybody notice that the new form still has YOU certifying that EVERY strap or clip is properly nailed. The form still does not address the straps which were not installed in a proper manner with repect to the location (should be within an eighth of an inch) so if they are a foot off or so and nailed three times I guess wraps are deemed to be as good as straps. Morons.
