With the Gulf of America just miles away and a history of near misses and direct hits, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater are all within zones of high hurricane vulnerability. In fact:
90% of hurricane damage to homes results from wind-driven debris and structural compromise.
Local building codes in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties require storm protection that meets strict impact standards.
Upgrading protection can boost your home insurance discounts and resale value.
