Windstorm Inspections

A basic homeowners policy does not typically cover windstorm damage. If your home is still in the building stage, you may be concerned about whether it qualifies for windstorm protection. According to the Texas Department of Insurance, homeowners or prospective homeowners in fourteen different coastal counties in Texas, as well as parts of Harris County, may find their homes designated as being in a catastrophic area. If you find yourself unable to purchase home insurance due to its location in a catastrophic area, you can contact the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association to purchase a policy.

On the website for the Texas Department of Insurance, consumers are advised that when you apply through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, your home must be inspected and then receive a certificate to affirm that it meets applicable building codes. Inspections can be completed on construction projects, for construction or repairs, or for completed construction and repair projects. The same website reports that you can typically locate a qualified inspector through the Texas Department of Insurance.
