How Hurricane-Ready Is Your Home?

Thanks to our notoriously stringent building codes, houses in South Florida tend to be rather well-built. Nonetheless, many structures still aren't adequately equipped to contend with nature's most savage storms. My Safe Florida Home is meant to change that. If you own a single-family home or townhouse, you can apply for a free inspection to evaluate your property's storm readiness.

Once your application has been approved, a licensed inspector will be sent to perform a thorough on-site assessment. You'll then be given a full inspection report and a list of suggested upgrades to improve your home's wind resistance. These home improvements are highly recommended, but it's important to note that there's no obligation to complete them.

Save Big on Hurricane-Resistant Home Improvements

While a free and comprehensive home inspection is undeniably valuable, the My Safe FL Home Program doesn't stop there. Should you choose to implement any of the recommended upgrades, you may be eligible for some serious savings. For every dollar you spend on qualifying improvements, the program will provide a grant to match your contribution — and then double it. In other words, the state will pay two-thirds of the cost of any authorized purchase up to $10,000. This grant covers a variety of home additions and modifications, including:

• Impact-resistant windows and exterior doors
• Stronger roof coverings and roof-to-wall connections
• Secondary Water Resistance (SWR)

Invest in Uncompromising Quality and Value

Of course, no matter how much money you save, you can't afford to gamble on such crucial safety upgrades. Fortunately, America's Window & Door Store is fully approved to provide qualifying impact-resistant window and door installations. We have a wide range of attractive, affordably priced PGT hurricane-impact products engineered for unsurpassed protection and peace of mind.
