In Florida the question is never if a hurricane comes, it's when. Most storm prep advice covers shutters and generators — fair — but your home's exterior surfaces play a real role in how a storm treats your house, and in what it leaves behind. Here's the two-part playbook.
Before the season: make the house shed water
- Gutters first. The single highest-value item. Clogged gutters during hurricane rainfall mean water sheeting over the edges, soaking fascia, pounding foundation beds, and backing up under shingles. Clean them in May or June, every year.
- Roof debris off. Accumulated leaves and branches become clogs and projectiles. A cleared roof drains evenly.
- Surfaces clean. Clean concrete and siding dry faster after days of rain — and algae-free surfaces are less slippery when everything's wet for a week.
- Documentation. Every job comes with 4K drone before/after video. If a storm damages your roof later, dated footage of its prior condition is exactly what insurance conversations are made of.
After the storm: rinse before it stains
What a hurricane leaves on your property keeps working after the skies clear. Decomposing leaves release tannin that leaves brown stains on concrete — and Florida sun bakes those stains in within days. Mud films, organic debris and gutter overflow marks all come off easily in the first week and stubbornly after a month. A professional rinse-down in the days after a storm removes it before it becomes permanent, and our drone pass doubles as a roof check nobody has to climb for.
The post-storm scam warning
After every named storm, out-of-state crews sweep Central Florida neighborhoods knocking on doors, quoting cash prices, collecting deposits and vanishing. Simple rules: local company, verifiable license and insurance, never pay everything up front, and be suspicious of anyone who shows up uninvited with a pressure washer and a hurricane story. We're here before, during and after — same phone number, same trucks.
Schedule by the calendar, not the cone
May–June prep is cheap and calm. Reacting with a cone on the map is expensive and rushed. Text us a photo at (321) 321-9692 and get on the books before the meteorologist says your county.
