Hurricane Season is approaching quickly, and there are some things you can do in Fort Myers and other areas of South Florida to get prepared to better protect your house in the event that we do have another hurricane strike this year.
Many of you are still rebuilding, especially in the Fort Myers and Naples areas of Florida, so these are some ways you can incorporate best homebuilding practices into your hurricane plans.
- Strengthen the roof deck with stronger roof fasteners
- Create a secondary barrier to prevent water intrusion
- Install stronger roof fasteners that keep roofs from blowing off
- Use nails instead of staples, nails are stronger
- Use roof tie-down clips
- Consider using concrete walls
- When choosing metal roofs, choose standing steam metal roofs with continuous panels
- Choose hurricane impact windows and doors
- When building, build with FEMA flood elevations
- Use flood vents in garages and garage doors
