Hurricane Evaluation & Remediation
What kind of improvements can be made to strengthen my home against hurricane damage?
- Improving the strength of your roof deck attachment.
- Creating a secondary water barrier to prevent water intrusion. There are products that cover and seal the joints between the plywood sheets on your roof. This will reduce leakage if your shingles are blown off.
- Improving the survivability of your roof covering. Upgrading to stronger and thicker hurricane-resistant roof shingles, attached with properly sized and applied roofing nails
- Bracing gable-ends in your roof framing. This is usually done in your attic to lessen the chances that your roof will collapse under hurricane wind loads.
- Reinforcing roof-to-wall connections. For example, installing metal tie-down straps that attach roof rafters to wall studs to decrease the chances that all or part of your roof will lift up from your house during a hurricane.
- Upgrading exterior wall-opening protection, for instance, installing hurricane-rated window shutters.
- Upgrading exterior doors, such as replacing a standard garage door with a hurricane-rated garage door and bracing.
