Signs Your Home Needs Hurricane-Hardening Upgrades

At Florida PACE, we understand the vital importance of reinforcing your home to stand against hurricanes, safeguarding both your property and loved ones from Florida’s severe storms.

Whether it’s upgrading to impact-resistant windows, strengthening doors or installing hurricane shutters, our hurricane-hardening home improvements enhance your home’s defense without compromising your financial stability.

Knowing the signs that your home is vulnerable to hurricanes is crucial for ensuring its resilience. Here are key signs that your house may be ill-equipped to withstand a hurricane:

Hurricane-Hardening Projects 1
  • Lack of Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors: Homes with standard windows and doors are at risk during hurricanes due to potential breakage from high winds and flying debris.
  • Inadequate Roofing: Roofs showing signs of wear, such as missing shingles or weak connections, may not be secure during a hurricane’s intense conditions.
  • Loose Siding or Cladding: Siding that is not securely attached can be torn off by strong hurricane-force winds.
  • Weak Foundation: Foundations that are not robust may not withstand the force of floodwaters or storm surges.
  • Unsecured Outdoor Items: Items not anchored can become projectiles, posing a risk to your home.
  • Lack of Shutters or Storm Panels: Without protective measures, your home’s windows are vulnerable to damage.
  • Vulnerable Garage Doors: Non-reinforced garage doors can fail, allowing wind to enter and potentially cause structural damage.
  • Inadequate Drainage: Poor drainage can lead to flooding, exacerbating the risk of water damage during a storm.
