Common questions
Why does gutter prep matter for hurricane season?
Clogged gutters during a hurricane cause water to overflow against fascia, soffits, and foundations, leading to interior leaks, foundation damage, and rotted trim. A 30-minute prep session can prevent thousands in repair costs that insurance often won't cover (because the damage is classified as "maintenance failure" rather than storm damage).
When should I print and use this checklist?
Print one copy at the start of hurricane season (June 1) and use it for every named storm threat. The pre-storm section also works for any heavy thunderstorm forecast. Keep a digital copy on your phone for the after-storm documentation steps.
Will this help my insurance claim?
Yes. The biggest reasons claims get denied or underpaid are missing pre-storm baseline photos and slow filing. The checklist walks through both. The "documentation" section shows exactly what insurance adjusters need to approve gutter, fascia, and water-damage claims faster.
Is there a cost?
No. The checklist is free, the download is instant, and the email series is unsubscribable. We share it because storm damage prevention helps every NE Florida homeowner, and we'd rather you avoid the damage than pay us to fix it.
