Pre-Hurricane Inspections

A storm-readiness check of your roof, openings, and drainage before hurricane season — so you can fix weak spots before the wind arrives.

Get Ready Before the Storm

Hurricane season comes every year in Tampa Bay. A pre-hurricane inspection looks at the parts of your home that matter most when the wind and rain arrive: the roof, roof-to-wall connections where visible, windows, doors, garage doors, shutters, gutters, and drainage.

You receive a report with photos and a clear list of weak spots to address before a storm, not after.

Find Weak Spots While There's Time

A little preparation can prevent a lot of damage.

🏡

Roof Condition

Loose, damaged, or worn roofing found early.

🪟

Openings

Windows, doors, garage doors, and shutters.

🌧️

Drainage

Gutters and grading that move water away.

📋

Action List

Clear priorities before storm season.

Storm Damage Often Starts Small

A loose shingle, a failed seal, or a blocked gutter can turn a storm into a costly insurance claim. Storm seasons like Hurricane Ian showed how quickly roof and water damage can add up.

A pre-hurricane inspection pairs well with a wind mitigation inspection, which documents wind-resistant features that may lower your insurance premium.

Pre-Hurricane Inspections FAQ

When should I schedule it?

Before hurricane season, which begins June 1, so there's time to make repairs.

Is it the same as wind mitigation?

No. Wind mitigation documents features for insurance credits; a pre-hurricane inspection checks readiness and condition.

Can I do both in one visit?

Yes, they pair well together.

Do you inspect after storms?

Yes. Roof inspections after a storm help document damage.
