SWFL Hurricane Season House Necessities

Summertime in Florida can be blissful. June 1, however, marked the beginning of the season Floridians dread the most: hurricane season. For the past few years, we have had devastating storms hit our community and damage homes that were built on memories. Now is the time to start preparing for some of the nastiest storms that could possibly hit our homes over the next 5 months. At Green Mountain Builders, let us help you prepare for this hurricane season and get your home ready with the latest hurricane house essentials.

Before the Storm: SWFL Hurricane Prep Services

Window & Door Replacement

It is important to have all windows and doors up to the current FEMA code when hurricane season rolls around. Other than just putting up shutters, investing in hurricane proof windows and doors may lower risks of them cracking or flying away during a storm. Having doors that also open outward from your home lowers the risk of it falling off the hinges during a wind gust. Your home is your largest investment. Let Green Mountain Builders help you protect that investment with hurricane proof windows and doors.

Generators

When hurricanes (or even heavy Florida summer 5 o’clock “showers”) hit, your home, your power may go out. It can go out for a second or it may go out for a week or two depending on the strength of the storm. Being without power for a couple of days is dreadful; being out of power for two weeks is debilitating. One of the ways to avoid this problem when storms hit is by investing in a generator. With the help of Green Mountain Builders, we can place a whole home generator on your property to ensure that you stay safe and protect your prized investment. The generators that we install are permitted and installed above the FEMA required floor height. The floor height portion is important due to the amount of storm water flooding we have seen present with past storms. 

Roofing

We’ve seen seas of blue roofs with tarps from the devastation that past storms have left behind. We’ve cleaned up shingles off of the floor after storms. Your roof is a very important piece of your house and should be a very important piece to look after while running through your hurricane checklist. At Green Mountain Builders, we offer SWFL Roofing Services that ensures that your roofing stays intact for what may come this season.

After the Storm: SWFL Hurricane Repair Services

SWFL Pressure Washing 

After the storm, floodwater and rainwater may leave some nasty residue on your home. It may even leave some mold behind, too. Pressure washing can easily and quickly remove dirt, grime, and mold that detracts from the exterior of your home. Green Mountain Builders doesn’t just do home remodeling; we also complete a range of home services in Southwest Florida.

Flooring

Floodwaters may come into your home when a storm hits, causing damage to your current flooring. Mold risk grows when wet flooring sits for too long without repair, causing possible health risks and nasty smells. Ripping up old flooring and replacing new is the best option for damaged hurricane flooring. No job is too big or too small. Whatever your needs are, Green Mountain’s commitment is to be responsive and provide a first-class flooring home service in Southwest Florida.

Painting

During a hurricane or tropical storm, it is possible for paint on the exterior of your house to crack, bubble, or even peel off. This is due to the high winds that occur during the storm, the high humidity of our climate, and the structural stress that your home endured during the storm. Taking just as much pride in our work as you have in your home, Green Mountain Builders uses only the highest of quality, Sherwin-Williams ProMar paint for the interior of your home and Sherwin-Williams Super Paint for the exterior.
