Pre-storm and post-storm property preparation. Hurricane shutter installation and removal, debris clearing, outdoor furniture securing, and full property inspection.
Hurricane season in South Florida runs from June through November, and preparation isn't optional — it's essential. Every year, properties that aren't properly secured suffer preventable damage from wind, rain, and flying debris. Palm Beach Property Services handles all aspects of storm preparation so your home or business is protected before the storm hits and assessed for damage afterward. For snowbirds and out-of-state property owners, we're especially critical — we prepare and secure your property when you can't be here to do it yourself.
When a storm is approaching, every hour counts. We install hurricane shutters — accordion, panel, roll-down, or Bahama style — on all windows and doors. We secure or store outdoor furniture, grills, potted plants, and loose items that become projectiles in high winds. We clear yards and common areas of debris that could cause damage. We check that garage doors are reinforced and entry points are sealed. For pool owners, we ensure pool equipment is protected and water levels are adjusted. Everything is documented so you know exactly what was done.
After the storm passes, we're on site as soon as it's safe to assess your property. We remove shutters, inspect for damage — roof, windows, siding, landscaping, fencing — and document everything with photos for your insurance records. We clear debris from yards, driveways, and walkways. We check interior spaces for water intrusion and verify that all systems are functioning. If damage is found, we coordinate with our network of licensed contractors to get repairs started quickly.
If you're a snowbird, vacation homeowner, or investor who isn't in South Florida during hurricane season, storm preparation is one of the most valuable services we provide. Our home watch clients get priority scheduling for storm prep, and we handle everything — from boarding up to post-storm inspection — so you don't have to fly down or scramble to find help at the last minute.
As early as possible once a storm enters the forecast. We get heavy demand when storms approach, so having a relationship with us before hurricane season — especially through our home watch service — ensures you get priority scheduling.
