Windstorm Engineering Inspection Services

Engineering for Wind Resistance, Safety, and Compliance

Skyline Engineering and CMT Services has provided Windstorm Design and Inspection services for 19 years.  Skyline personnel have extensive experience in Windstorm evaluations/damage assessments/ site investigations and engineering design and review for new or damaged structures specifically from damage from windstorms. 

Skyline provides Windstorm inspection services assessing designs ofa structure's resistance to high winds, particularly in areas prone to hurricanes, and ensure compliance with building codes for windstorm-resistant construction. These inspections are crucial for homeowners seeking wind and hail insurance coverage, especially through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA). The process involves evaluating various building components like roofing, windows, and doors to verify their ability to withstand strong winds.  

Whether you need inspection for permitting, post-storm evaluation, or design validation, we deliver clear, accurate results you can rely on.


Key Aspects of Windstorm Inspection Services:

  • Analysis of the site-specific Design wind speed for your project

Skyline confirms the actual site-specific design wind speed for your project.  This wind speed will determine the building requirements for your structure. 

  • Compliance with building codes: 

Inspections verify that structures meet or exceed the requirements of the International Building Code (IBC) or the International Residential Code (IRC).  

  • Assessment of structural integrity: 

Inspectors evaluate the strength and stability of roofs, walls, and connections to ensure they can withstand wind pressure.  

  • Evaluation of exterior features: 

This includes inspecting windows, doors, and other openings for proper installation and resistance to windborne debris.  


  • Certification for insurance: 

In Texas, particularly in coastal areas, windstorm certification is often required by TWIA to qualify for wind and hail insurance coverage.  


  • Post-construction inspections: 

These are conducted after construction, additions, or renovations to ensure compliance with windstorm-resistant construction standards.  


  • Windstorm mitigation: 

Inspections may identify areas where improvements can be made to enhance a structure's resistance to wind damage, potentially leading to lower insurance
