We restore storm damage in Miami 24-hours a day.

The Atlantic season begins soon, and our local team in Miami Beach wants South Beach residents to be prepared. Here is some information from the Miami-Dade County website on how to prepare your home for a hurricane:

• Make sure all smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors (important for generator use) are operational
• Protect areas where wind can enter
• Withdraw cash from the bank and get fuel for your vehicle, generator, and other gas-powered tools
• Have battery-powered light sources available and ready for use
• Protect electronics with surge protectors and waterproof coverings
• If power is lost, lighting will be poor inside, so keep heavy-traffic areas free of clutter 
• Bring in lawn furniture or other outdoor items not tied down that could become airborne
• Repair or replace broken or damaged fences
• Secure loose rain gutters and downspouts and clear any clogged areas or debris
• Inspect the roof for loose tiles, shingles, or debris
• Make sure you have homeowners, flood, and wind insurance
• Make bedrolls from your existing comforters and blankets
• If you are evacuating your home for the storm, turn off the power at the main circuit breaker before leaving
