Hurricane Preparations

1. Anchoring & Tie-Down System Inspections & Upgrades:

• Crucial for Mobile & Manufactured Homes: The anchoring system is your home’s first line of defense against high winds. We perform thorough inspections of your existing tie-downs and ground anchors, checking for corrosion, proper tension, and code compliance.
• Reinforcement & Installation: The anchoring system is your home’s first line of defense against high winds. We perform thorough inspections of your existing tie-downs and ground anchors, checking for corrosion, proper tension, and code compliance.

2. Roof System Reinforcement & Repair:

• Pre-Storm Roof Inspections: We meticulously inspect your roof for any loose shingles, weakened areas, or potential vulnerabilities that could lead to uplift and water intrusion during a hurricane.
• Roof-Over Systems & Coatings: For manufactured homes, we can install durable “roof-over” systems designed to add an extra layer of protection, reduce energy bills, and enhance overall structural integrity.
• Hurricane Clips & Straps: For all home types, we can assess and install additional hurricane clips or straps to strengthen the connection between your roof and walls, significantly improving wind resistance.

3. Window & Door Protection Solutions:

• Hurricane Shutter Installation: We offer custom-fit hurricane shutters (panel, accordion, roll-down, or Bahama) for all windows and glass doors, providing superior protection against wind-borne debris.

• Plywood Cut & Label Service: For a more economical solution, we can pre-cut and label custom plywood boards for your windows and doors, ensuring quick and easy installation when a storm threatens.

• Garage Door Bracing: Garage doors are often a weak point. We can install bracing kits or advise on hurricane-rated garage door replacements to prevent catastrophic failure.

4. Skirting & Underpinning Maintenance:

• Preventing Wind Intrusion: For manufactured homes, intact and strong skirting is essential to prevent wind from getting underneath your home and causing uplift. We inspect, repair, and reinforce skirting to ensure it acts as a robust barrier.

5. Property & Landscape Hazard Mitigation:

• Pre-Storm Yard Clearing: We assist with securing or removing all loose outdoor items that could become dangerous projectiles during high winds (patio furniture, grills, sheds, decorative items).
• Tree Trimming Consultation: We can advise on necessary tree trimming or removal of hazardous branches that pose a risk to your home.

6. Pre-Storm Home Securing & Post-Storm Tarping (Emergency Service):

• Rapid Response: When a hurricane warning is issued, we offer pre-storm home securing services, including shutter deployment and final outdoor item securing, allowing you to evacuate with greater peace of mind.
• Emergency Tarping: After a storm, if your roof or home sustains damage, we offer emergency tarping services to prevent further water intrusion while you await full repairs.
