We restore storm damage 24/7 in Hawaii and Maui.

Aloha! Our local Hawaii and Maui teams are on call and ready to respond to storm damage emergencies 24/7. The Pacific Hurricane season poses significant risks to Hawaii's residents. Hurricanes and tropical storms bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding, potentially causing severe damage to homes. However, there are proactive steps locals can take to safeguard their properties.

First, secure the roof. Homeowners should inspect and reinforce their roofs with hurricane clips or straps to withstand high winds. Checking for loose shingles and repairing them right away can prevent further damage.

Next, protecting windows and doors is essential. Installing storm shutters or using plywood to cover windows can prevent them from breaking due to flying debris. Reinforcing garage doors with braces can also prevent them from being blown in by strong winds.

Clearing the yard of loose objects, such as patio furniture, tools, and decorations, reduces the risk of these items becoming dangerous projectiles during a storm. Trimming trees and removing dead branches can prevent them from falling and damaging the house.

Finally, preparing an emergency kit with essential supplies, such as water, food, medications, and important documents, ensures that residents are ready for any situation.

By taking these preventative measures, Kailua-Kona locals can reduce the risk of hurricane-related damage to their homes and ensure their safety during the Pacific Hurricane season.
