TDI Windstorm and Property Inspections

On existing homes or buildings, individual structural components—such as windows, doors, roofs, or siding—can be inspected and certified separately to ensure they meet current windstorm standards. This means if you replace or upgrade a specific part of your property, like installing new impact-resistant windows or a new roof, each of these items can receive its own certification for compliance.

For new residential construction, however, the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) requires that the entire structure be inspected and certified as a whole for windstorm compliance. This comprehensive certification is documented through the issuance of a WPI-8 certificate. The WPI-8 confirms that the new home has been constructed in accordance with all applicable windstorm building codes and standards, making it eligible for windstorm insurance coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA).

Whether you are updating an existing property or building a new one along the Texas Gulf Coast, our team is fully qualified to perform the necessary inspections and provide all required certifications to keep your project on track and in full compliance with TDI regulations.
