What about your actual house?
Here’s a few upgrades we recommend on to keep you safe and cozy during extreme weather conditions:
Install Impact-Resistant Roof
When a hurricane hits, we can’t rely on gravity to keep the roof on our house anymore – we need to help it to stay there. Think about it, the roof is the one opening to all of your belongings and if a roof is damaged, every belonging in your home will probably end up in the same way.
