Mobile Home Insurance Inspection & Wind Mitigation in SW Florida

Did your insurance company say you need tie-downs or wind mitigation to write or renew your policy? Or are you dealing with storm damage and a claim? Affordable MHS is a Florida state-licensed contractor that inspects your mobile or manufactured home free, brings it up to code, and provides the official documentation — including the Uniform Mitigation Verification Form — your carrier requires. Serving Naples to Tampa.

Insurance Won’t Renew Without Tie-Downs?

Florida insurers increasingly refuse to write or renew policies on older mobile and manufactured homes unless the tie-downs and wind mitigation are documented and up to code. Here’s how we get you covered:

• Free inspection. A licensed inspector documents exactly what your carrier is asking for — no cost, no obligation.
• We do the work to code. Tie-downs and anchors, foundation re-enforcement, and other wind-mitigation upgrades to meet Florida code (FAC 15C-1) and your insurer’s requirements.
• We give you the paperwork. The signed tie-down inspection and Uniform Mitigation Verification Form (UMVF) your carrier needs to keep your policy active.

Lower Your Premium 15–45%

Wind mitigation isn’t just about keeping coverage — it can dramatically cut your premium. After documented, code-compliant tie-downs and a clean Uniform Mitigation Verification Form, most Florida carriers reduce premiums 15% to 45%. For many homeowners, the work pays for itself in a year or two of insurance savings — and if you qualify, the My Safe Florida Home grant can cover most of the cost.

Storm Damage? We Handle Insurance-Claim Repairs

If a storm damaged your tie-downs, skirting, foundation, or structure, we repair it and work alongside your adjuster. We document the damage, provide detailed estimates, and restore your home to code — so your claim moves and your home is secured before the next storm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is wind mitigation and why does my insurance want it?

Wind mitigation means the features that help your home survive high winds — tie-downs, anchors, roof-to-wall connections, and more. Florida insurers require it on older mobile and manufactured homes because it dramatically reduces storm-damage claims. Many won’t write or renew a policy without it.

What documentation do you provide for my insurance?

We provide the signed tie-down inspection and the Uniform Mitigation Verification Form (UMVF) that Florida carriers use to verify wind mitigation and apply premium discounts.

Will tie-downs really lower my insurance premium?

Usually yes. After code-compliant wind mitigation and a clean UMVF, most Florida carriers reduce premiums 15% to 45%, depending on the report and your carrier.

My insurance dropped me because of my tie-downs. Can you help me get covered again?

Yes. We inspect free, bring your tie-downs and foundation to code, and provide the documentation you need to get re-insured. Call us and we’ll walk you through exactly what your carrier requires.

Do you work with insurance claims after a storm?

We do. We repair storm-damaged tie-downs, foundations, and skirting, document everything for your adjuster, and restore your home to code.

What does the inspection cost?

Nothing. The inspection is free with no obligation. You only pay for work you choose to have done, and the grant or insurance savings often cover most of it.
