The state of Florida is currently offering a massive incentive to help homeowners harden their properties against hurricanes. Through the My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) program, eligible homeowners can receive up to $10,000 in matching grants for hurricane-resistant upgrades, including a full roof replacement!
At Diversified Roofing Solutions, we specialize in high-wind, HVHZ-compliant (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) roof installations that perfectly align with the MSFH grant requirements.
What is the My Safe Florida Home Program?
The My Safe Florida Home program was enacted by the Florida Legislature to help property owners strengthen their homes against hurricane damage while simultaneously lowering their property insurance premiums.
The state provides a $2-to-$1 matching grant. This means that for every $1 you spend on eligible home hardening improvements, the state provides $2, up to a maximum grant of $10,000.
(For example: If your new roof costs $15,000, you pay $5,000 and the state covers $10,000!)
Do I Qualify for the Roofing Grant?
To be eligible for the MSFH matching grant, your property must meet the following general criteria (always verify current requirements on the official state portal):
- Location: The home must be located in Florida.
- Property Type: The home must be a site-built, single-family residential property or a townhouse.
- Age of Home: The initial building permit must have been issued prior to January 1, 2008 (homes built under older, weaker building codes).
- Exemptions: You must have been granted a homestead exemption.
- Insured Value: Your home’s insured value must be $700,000 or less.
- Inspection: You must complete a free initial wind mitigation inspection through the MSFH program, which must recommend the roof upgrades.
How Diversified Roofing Solutions Helps
The grant specifically requires that all upgrades meet rigorous wind-resistance standards. This is where we excel.
When you choose Diversified Roofing Solutions for your MSFH grant project, you get:
- HVHZ Compliance: We build roofs to Miami-Dade and Broward County High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards—the strictest in the nation—ensuring you pass all MSFH requirements.
- Premium Wind Mitigation: Whether it’s Secondary Water Resistance (SWR) peel-and-stick underlayment, enhanced roof deck attachments (ring-shank nails), or premium standing seam metal, we install the specific upgrades the state wants to see.
- Proper Documentation: We provide you with the exact invoices, building permits, and final inspection reports you need to submit to the state for your reimbursement.
- Lower Insurance Premiums: After your new roof is installed, you can schedule a final wind mitigation inspection. These upgrades legally require Florida insurance companies to offer you premium discounts!
