The urgency

Why prep matters before the season starts.

Florida sees named storms every year. Most homeowners scramble to prepare when a storm forms, and most boarding contractors are sold out 48 hours before landfall.

Boards run out

Plywood and pre-cut boards disappear from every home improvement store within hours of a storm watch. If you don't have them staged, you won't get them.

Contractors get booked

Professional boarding crews book up fast. Clients with prior contracts jump the queue. Walk-in requests during a watch rarely get filled.

Insurance gaps compound

Prep failures become claim complications. Damage that could have been mitigated with shutters or tarping often results in reduced or disputed payouts.

The offer

What's included in a Seacoast preparedness plan.

Pre-season inspection

Full property walk-through, vulnerability assessment, and written report covering every exposed system.

Custom shutter and board fitting

Pre-cut, pre-labeled boards or installed shutters ready to deploy. No last-minute sizing, no guesswork.

Supply delivery

Sandbags, plywood, tie-downs, and generator support delivered when a storm is named, before the stores are empty.

Priority emergency response

Seacoast preparedness clients move to the front of the line when a storm enters the cone of uncertainty.

Post-storm priority

You're first on our damage assessment list after the storm passes. No waiting behind walk-in requests.

The process

How it works: four steps, one season.

1

Schedule a pre-season inspection

We walk the full property, assess vulnerability, and produce a written report.

2

Custom-fit and document

We custom-fit boards or shutters for every opening and photograph the property baseline.

3

Storm activation

When a storm forms, we execute your prep plan on a priority schedule, before the phone lines fill up.

4

Post-storm priority queue

You're first in line for damage assessment and repair. No competing with walk-in demand.

Common questions

Storm Preparedness FAQ

We inspect and catalog your existing shutters, confirm they still meet current Florida Building Code requirements, and include them in your preparedness plan. We fill gaps where coverage is missing.
A wind mitigation inspection, which is part of our pre-season assessment, can qualify your home for Florida wind mitigation credits that reduce your insurance premium. Ask us for details when you schedule.
Off-season inspections routinely uncover repair issues: damaged fascia, degraded caulking, weak shutter hardware. You still get a full property assessment and peace of mind for the whole season.
