This is a no brainer, you guys like John that have a contractors license ought to on every noncompliant inspection give an estimate to correct conditions that result in an unfavorable condition. Be it a lack of the coverings to windows or doors that don’t meet the miami dade impact rating, if your license allows you to perform services to bring these items to a higher level of protection and discount the client should be availed of the opportunity to make a choice. I am not against the client getting a better rating and discount by actions they determine to be financially beneficial, this was the original intent of the MSFH program.
That’s Before it got bastardized into get a wind mit to save money on your homeowners insurance.
