Protect Your Windows
A major part of hurricanes is the strong winds. These winds not only tear down branches and trees but also carry debris that can crack and break your windows. You have a few options on how to protect your windows.
Shutters
You can shutter your windows if you're not confident in their ability to withstand the winds and any potential debris that may come their way. You can shutter your windows with plywood boards, metal shutters that you install, or built-in shutters that make for easy use.
Storm-Force Windows
If you have it in your budget, you can choose to install or replace your windows with storm-force windows. These windows are made from several layers of glass that can withstand category 5 hurricane-force winds.
Gather Supplies
These supplies can be for yourself and your family, to stay hydrated and fed in case you are unable to leave your home safely for the duration of the storm as it passes. Other supplies that you may need are fuel for your generator, batteries for your electronic devices, sandbags to prevent flooding in your home, and other supplies that may not seem obvious at first.
Inspect Exterior Fixtures
Before the storm comes, be sure that your exterior features are secure and not loose. Winds can cause them to break and fly away, leaving you with more to repair and replace. Fixtures to keep in mind include mailboxes, exterior lights, large potted plants, and large outdoor furniture and features.
You may want to bring in or tie down smaller objects, such as small potted plants, chairs, tables, and flags.
Cleanup When It's Over
When all is said and done, your house might look like a mess on the outside. Cleanup doesn't have to be something you have to do on your own.

Whether you need roof cleaning or house washing, we're here to help.
