Hurricane Irene Edition

Greetings!

 With the impending storm among us, we wanted to inform you of our storm services.  We will be offering a board up service, emergency roof/siding repairs, and cleanup.  Here's a little info on Hurricane Irene:

 What does it mean when they issue a hurricane watch? Or a hurricane warning? Thanks for the heads up, but what should I be doing to keep my home and everything in it as safe as possible? Many northeasterners are new to the whole hurricane situation, so whether the storm hits or not, the best way to keep your head in an emergency is to know what to do in advance.

 

Here's what you should be doing in the event of a watch, warning, evacuation, and during a hurricane, courtesy of our friends over at The Weather Channel.

 

In the event of a hurricane watch:

 

-Fill vehicles with gas.

-Get extra cash.

-Fill prescriptions.

-For mobile homes, secure tie-downs and prepare to evacuate when ordered.

-Bring in loose objects from outside.

-Bring in patio furniture

-Prepare to secure all windows with shutters or plywood.

 

In the event of a hurricane warning:

 

-Secure all windows with shutters or plywood.

-Place valuables and important papers in a waterproof container and store on highest floor of home.

 

 

We can prep your home!

Having us do these simple tasks before severe weather hits to help minimize or even prevent costly damage to your home:

Nail Loose Boards or Shingles

 
That untethered shingle you previously ignored could create a domino effect if ripped off by the storm, allowing water to get under the ones around it.

 
If you need help preparing for the storm or help with repairs and cleanup after the storm, give us a call!

Stay Safe!!
