So on inspections we have been asked many times why we open cabinets and inspect the screws that are used. Not everyone that installs cabinets use the proper screws to mount the cabinets in the proper way to hold the weight of dishes, etc.
This picture is exactly why we do this and we will call it out - it’s not a deal breaker but could be a dish breaker

Protecting your investment with thorough inspections

When it comes to protecting your home, it’s important to know the difference between tempered glass and hurricane-impact-rated glass. Tempered glass is designed for safety — it’s heat-treated so it’s stronger than regular glass and breaks into small, blunt pieces to reduce injury risk. However, it’s not built to withstand the intense pressure and flying debris from a major storm. Hurricane-impact-rated glass, on the other hand, is specifically engineered to resist high winds and impacts, often with a laminated layer that holds the glass together even if it cracks. In short: tempered glass is safer than standard glass, but for true hurricane protection, you want impact-rated windows.

A properly installed hurricane shutter should look like a natural part of the home—secure, straight, and firmly anchored in place. It should fit tightly against the window or door frame with no gaps, sagging, or loose sections, and the hardware should be strong and free from rust or corrosion. The shutter should open and close smoothly without sticking, rattling, or feeling unstable. If it looks flimsy, wobbles when touched, or leaves spaces for wind or water to enter, it’s a clear sign the shutter isn’t installed correctly or may need repair. Make sure your shutters are ready and properly installed well before a hurricane approaches, and gather any tools and supplies you might need before they sell out. Don’t wait until the last minute—being prepared early can make all the difference in protecting your home.

Your shutters should look something like this. Be safe and prepared!

🛠️ The Third Nail

The “third nail” is an upgrade that strengthens the connection between your roof and walls by adding an extra nail to hurricane clips. This small change greatly improves wind resistance and helps protect your roof from uplift during storms. It’s one of the easiest upgrades for safety and potential insurance savings.

🌀 What is a Pre-Hurricane Drone Inspection

A pre-hurricane drone inspection documents your home’s condition from above before storm season. High-quality aerial images create proof for insurance claims in case of damage. It’s safe, fast, and makes the claims process much smoother if a storm strikes. Live consulting inspections offers drone photography of your property and a detailed report.

💨 What’s a Wind Mit?

A wind mitigation inspection looks at how well your home can handle strong winds, especially during hurricane season. Inspectors check roof shape, straps, and opening protection to measure wind resistance. Stronger features not only improve safety but can also lower your insurance costs. Wind mitigations are only good for 5 years. If you have made a change like a new roof or impact windows you need to update your wind mitigation report and live consulting inspections can do that for you.
