Wind Mitigation & Roof-to-Wall Attachment Affidavit
Florida jurisdictions and insurers want proof of how a roof is attached: deck nailing pattern, roof-to-wall connection, roof geometry, secondary water resistance and opening protection. Contractors are routinely asked for this documentation at re-roof permit close-out and again when the homeowner files for an insurance credit.
Who uses it
Roofing contractors, general contractors and building consultants working Florida residential re-roofs and hurricane retrofits.
What the generated document includes
- Roof deck attachment (fastener type and spacing) and roof-to-wall connection description
- Roof geometry — hip, gable or flat — and FBC compliance year
- Secondary water resistance (SWR) statement
- Opening protection level and the signing contractor's license block
Mistakes that get it kicked back
- Describing clips when the field photos show single or double wraps
- Leaving SWR blank, which voids the homeowner's biggest insurance credit
- Using the permit year instead of the actual FBC compliance year for the structure
