My Safe Florida Home: Grants for Roofs and Impact Windows

A state program that pays for a free hurricane mitigation inspection and, for eligible homeowners, a grant toward approved upgrades. The inspection always comes first. No grant is issued without it.

The Process

Three steps, in order

Apply with the state first. Our role begins after the inspection report is in your hands.

01
Apply for the free inspection
Create an account at mysafeflhome.com. A state-approved inspector visits and documents your roof, connections and openings.
02
Review the report
You receive a wind mitigation report listing which upgrades qualify for grant funding and how much the state may pay.
03
Approved, then start
If funds are available and you are approved, you select a contractor and submit the quote. Do not start work before approval, or it is not funded.

Our team helps you apply

We’ve walked many Broward homeowners through this program. We’ll point you to the right pages, help you gather documents, scope the roof or window upgrade and prepare the paperwork the state asks for.

We do not promise grant approval. The program decides eligibility. We prepare the scope, documentation and quote that make your application complete.

What SafeTech does

Install impact windows, doors and roofs. Prepare the itemized scope and product approval numbers the program needs. Coordinate your project around the grant’s timing and documentation requirements.

What we will never say: that your project is “free,” that we can apply on your behalf without your direction, or that approval is guaranteed.

Which Upgrades Qualify

Common upgrades and what they protect

Impact windows and doorsWind-borne debris breaking openings and pressurizing the house.
Garage door upgradeThe largest opening failing and lifting the roof from inside. We refer to a garage specialist.
Roof-to-wall strapsThe roof separating from the walls under uplift. Added during a re-roof.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the My Safe Florida Home inspection free?
The program has provided free inspections to eligible homeowners. Check the program site for current availability.
Can I use any contractor?
The program sets contractor requirements. Confirm current rules on the program site before signing a contract.
Does the grant cover a full roof replacement?
Not on its own. But if replacing the roof covering is required to install a recommended improvement, such as deck attachment or secondary water resistance, that roof cost can be eligible. The program decides what qualifies.
Where do I apply?
Through the official My Safe Florida Home website at mysafeflhome.com. Start there, then contact us with your inspection report.
Does the grant cover my windows if the roof is already new?
Possibly. Impact windows and doors are common recommendations. Eligibility depends on the current inspection and program funding.
