Leading Inspection Company Wins Contract with State

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Ameripro Inspection Corporation announced it has secured a contract with the State of Florida to perform wind mitigation inspections through the My Safe Florida Home program.

“The state’s vision to help families strengthen their most precious asset so they are not displaced or ruined because of something that could have been prevented is admirable”

Ameripro is one of nine companies to be awarded a contract to provide these inspections free of charge to eligible homeowners. These inspections provide homeowners information needed to harden their home against hurricanes. They are just one way the state is educating and aiding families in Florida.

The company has been contracted to perform inspections in Region 3 beginning May 1, 2008 and is currently in the process of recruiting and training inspectors on several new program requirements.

The My Safe Florida Home program was created to provide all Floridians living in single-family, site-built homes a free wind inspection to determine their home’s ability to withstand hurricane and provide insurance discounts. Eligible homeowners can apply on-line at www.MySafeFloridaHome.com or by calling (866) 513-6734. Homeowners who receive free inspections through the program receive detailed inspection reports outlining their home’s features, approximate insurance premium discounts, if eligible, as well as estimated upgrade/repair costs to improve their home and matching grant information. Since April 2007, the MSFH program has performed more than 214,100 free wind inspections. Statewide, the program has issued grants to homeowners totaling more than $19.2 million.

“The state’s vision to help families strengthen their most precious asset so they are not displaced or ruined because of something that could have been prevented is admirable,” said Michael Rowan, founder and CEO of Ameripro. “We have seen the devastation that hurricanes can cause and we are honored and excited to be able to provide these inspections on behalf of the program.”

Founded in 1995 by Michael Rowan after immigrating to the U.S. from the United Kingdom, Ameripro Inspection Corporation has been a leading provider in home inspections with more than 50,000 satisfied clients throughout Florida.
