I mean Real Estate inspection. Allstate dropped us for homeowners insurance due to our living by water so now the new insurance company wants us to have a Wind Inpsection done on our house and it will cost $650.00. I don't think that is fair.In Florida they do it for FREE. I was asking if anyone knew of this type of inspection and how we can get it done cheaper.

I have never heard of a WIND inspection before.....
I live on the top floor of a high-rise apartment building. I would also like to know what a wind inspection is, since there's usually so much of it whenever I open my windows!
We figured this whole thing out. We live in Queens and Allstate dropped us. they picked up someone on the same block, however.. so weird. Anyway a wind inspection is for the insurance company to insure that there will be minimal damage if a huge storm comes. So we had to fix a door to our crawl space for example, it was a tad loose. We got the inspection for 250.00 from another inspector.. go figure.. 650, 250 big difference. Someone is not honest here. Thanks for all of your inquiries and help. I believe this is for homeowners only not sure about apartment buildings.
Lois, who did you use to do the wind inspection. I also received notice from NYPIUA that I have to have a wind inspection performed and a wind certificate obtained or they will cancel that aspect of my insurance.
