TOP 10 REASONS TO SAFEGUARD YOUR HOME AGAINST HURRICANES BY MY SAFE FLORIDA HOME:
1. Increases your home value. Building features that increase your home’s hurricane resistance also increase its market value.
2. Reduces the likelihood that you will need to evacuate (unless ordered to do so by the authorities). Homes built or retrofitted to meet the Miami-Dade building standards can withstand winds of up to 130 mph, a Category 3 storm.
3. Improves your overall hurricane recovery time.
4. Reduces the amount and extent of damage to your home from wind storms.
5. Reduces your out-of-pocket expenses after a storm.
6. Reduces the likelihood of an insurance claim.
7. Prevents injury to your family from wind-borne debris.
8. Can lower your insurance premium. By law, all licensed insurance companies must offer discounts on premiums for hurricane-strengthening features. LINK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU COULD SAVE!
