Local Neighborly community of home service experts share top tips to prepare for the most active month of hurricane season
West Palm Beach, FL – September is the peak of hurricane season, and Neighborly®, the world’s largest home services company, is releasing “The West Palm Beach and Surrounding Area Homeowner’s Guide to Hurricane Season” to help homeowners prepare for potential inclement weather in what could be Florida’s seventh consecutive “above-normal” year. The checklist provides West Palm Beach and surrounding area residents with a comprehensive list of home improvement tasks to prepare their homes for extreme weather conditions.
The checklist includes expert advice from trusted brands and outlines several top professional services that homeowners should consider protecting themselves and their homes from a hurricane. These local franchise owners whose teams are vetted in a variety of specific home services are backed by Neighborly’s Done Right Promise™ to ensure the highest quality of work.
The checklist includes but is not limited to projects such as:
☐ Surge protector installation
☐ Tree trimming
☐ Cleaning of residential gutters. Installing gutter guards if the gutters see a lot of use so they will last fully functional for longer. Gutter covers or gutter guards can provide extra protection for your gutters as these keep leaves, debris, and pests out of your gutters.
☐ Securing garage doors
☐ Inspecting for tree roots
☐ Moving patio furniture into storage
☐ Mosquito prevention
