Phoenix Windows & Doors
The 2017 hurricane season gave us back-to-back Category 4 storms – Harvey, Irma and Maria, and made a lasting impact that many are still recovering from. These monster storms reinforced what every Florida homeowner already knows well — the anxiety an impending storm brings, and the importance of staying safe and protecting our homes when hurricane season comes around each year. With hurricane season behind us, this is the right time to do a home analysis and ask yourself, is my home well-protected? If it isn’t, now is the time — before the next hurricane season begins — to fortify your home. Conventional windows can easily be broken from high winds, tree limbs, or flying debris and present a big risk to your safety and the integrity of your home. If your home is unprotected, it becomes essential to find a way to safeguard your castle. There are several options out there, but when it comes to convenience, durability, reliability, and aesthetics, none can compare to hurricane impact windows.
