Preparing Your Home Screens for a Florida Hurricane Season.

Preparing Your Home Screens for a Florida Hurricane Season.

Spring has officially ended and Summer is taking over our lives for the next few months. With Summer comes some pretty intense storms, and yes, even hurricanes! And with it comes hurricane season. Meteorologists are already predicting a slightly above average amount of tropical storms and hurricanes that can come our way in the coming months.

The 2019 hurricane season officially starts on June first and last until the last day in November. However, experts are paying close attention to April and May and monitoring the weather patterns in the Southeast, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. With warmer temperatures than usual in those areas this year, there is potential for some early storms.

The hurricane seasons are based on if we are experiencing an El Niño, La Niña, or if we are in a neutral phase. This year we are currently going through an El Niño, and it stays the same or strengthens we should have adverse or below average number of storms. If it weakens or becomes neutral the number of tropical storms and hurricanes could be higher than normal

In either scenario we should be prepared should a major storm come our way. Making sure your retractable screens are ready is one way to be prepared. The easiest way to make sure your screens are not damaged during a storm is to make sure they are retracted into their casing or as retracted as possible before the storm hits.

I stopped by your booth at the last home show at WEC in September. After the show you were prompt to call and subsequently provide an estimate to screen my Lanai and install a front door screen. From the estimate visit to the order to the install you guys were great; love the product, love the service and great communication. Thank you very much.

+: Punctual and polite. Discussed repair options with us. We opted to replace the screen in the door. Good job. -: Color a little off, but that could be because the rest of the garage door screen was aged. Also, thought it was a bit pricey for the amount of time here and all that was replaced was the screen in a 30" sliding door.
