What is My Safe FL Home.
The My Safe Florida Home Program was re-enacted during the most recent Special Session of the Florida Legislature. The program consists of two primary components:
Wind Mitigation Home Inspections (DFS anticipates between 140,000 and 145,000 initial home inspections.) All owners of site-built, single-family, residential homes are eligible to make application for a wind mitigation home inspection. This inspection will identify those elements of your home’s construction which could be improved to mitigate your home against future wind damages. All inspections will be provided to eligible homeowners free of charge by the State. Applications will be reviewed and approved in the order in which they are received until current funding is exhausted.
Wind Mitigation Grant awards for home construction (DFS anticipates awarding between 11,000 and 12,000 grants based on current funding.)
New Laws are in effect for the State of Florida allowing Roofing and General contractors to negotiate directly with your insurance company, preventing the need to hire a lawyer or public adjuster to do so, saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars. In the event of a hurricane or storm damage, keep your family and your home safe and call your insurance company, and then call us. LaPorta Contracting will not and cannot charge for negotiation the cost of damage with your insurance company.
