If your homesteaded property is approved for the state grant, choosing the right materials is essential. Selecting qualified MSFH roof upgrades ensures your project qualifies for the $10,000 reimbursement. The program focuses entirely on wind-mitigation modifications, and choosing qualified MSFH roof upgrades like peel-and-stick underlayments and high-wind shingles ensures your home passes the final wind mitigation check.
Eligible Wind Mitigation Upgrades
The program authorizes funding for specific roofing components:
- High-Wind Shingles: Replacing old shingles with architectural shingles rated for 130+ MPH.
- Standing Seam Metal: Metal roofing systems featuring concealed fasteners.
- Secondary Water Barrier: Self-adhered membranes applied directly to the decking.
We help homeowners navigate the system and select qualified MSFH roof upgrades. Read our detailed guide to My Safe Florida Home covered materials to plan your project.
