Pre-Storm
Property Documentation.
Hurricane damage claims are routinely delayed, disputed, or underpaid because homeowners cannot clearly prove what their property looked like before the storm. We fix that — before a storm is ever named.
Waiting until a hurricane is named
is often too late.
Most homeowners wait until a named storm is approaching, but by then scheduling becomes limited, conditions become unsafe, and documentation opportunities disappear.
Carriers become overwhelmed. Roads close. Contractors stop taking calls. Aerial work becomes legally restricted under FAA flight restrictions issued during active storms.
The best time to document a property is before storms are forming, before carriers become overwhelmed, and before access becomes difficult or dangerous.
Eight areas of your property,
captured in detail.
Using high-resolution exterior photography — and aerial imagery where applicable — we capture the condition of every part of the property a carrier might later challenge.
- 01RoofTile, shingles, ridge caps, flashings, vents

A complete digital
property record.
Every client receives a professionally organized digital report with time-stamped photos and aerial imagery, delivered within 24 hours of the on-site session.
- 01Establish pre-storm property condition
A clean, time-stamped baseline is the single most powerful piece of evidence in a hurricane claim. It removes the carrier's ability to argue that damage was 'pre-existing.'
- 02Support future insurance claims
Adjusters move faster and pay closer to true cost when condition is well-documented. You get a professionally organized digital file ready to attach to any claim.
- 03Identify existing issues before storm season
If something is already failing — a cracked tile, a loose soffit, a worn screen panel — you find out now, while it's a maintenance item. Not after the wind makes it a $30,000 claim.
- 04Protect high-value homes and exterior assets
Pool cages, paver decks, lanais, docks and outdoor kitchens are the most expensive things to repair after a storm and the most commonly disputed. They get extra attention here.
- 05Peace of mind before severe weather arrives
Once the documentation is on file, you can stop worrying about it. If a storm forms, your baseline is already done — we shift directly to active pre-storm prep.
Lock in your baseline
before the cone opens.
Sessions are scheduled on a first-come basis throughout hurricane season, with priority given to homes already under our home watch program.
