Some Summer tips

Reduce Risks from High Winds

Summer storms can bring damaging winds. To protect yourself and your property some recommend permanent storm shutters made of aluminum or steel that can be easily closed when a storm approaches.
Attached structures can be particularly vulnerable to high winds.

Taping Windows Won't Protect Against Storm Damage

Many people believe the myth that duct tape or window film can protect windows during storms. They don’t. Instead, protect windows with shutters, wood or another solid material.

Monthly Reminder
  • Check the outside of your home for maintenance needs.
  • Does it need a new coat of paint?
  • Does the brick or stucco have cracks that should be repaired?
  • Is the material chipping or crumbling?
  • Are areas around windows and doors in need of caulking?
Regular maintenance can prevent water damage, rot and mold, and prevent the need for costly repairs in the future.
