For many seasonal residents in Palm Beach County, the end of the winter season means preparing your home before heading north for the summer. With hurricane season beginning June 1st, proper storm preparation is an important step in protecting your property while it is vacant.

HAPM provides professional Storm Preparation and Seasonal Home Closing Services designed specifically for homeowners who want their property properly secured before leaving for the off-season.

 Our goal is to ensure your home is safe, secured, and ready for hurricane season while giving you peace of mind while you are away.

Many homes in Palm Beach County are left vacant for several months each year. During this time, storms, high winds, heavy rain, and humidity can create problems if a property is not properly prepared.

Proper seasonal preparation helps reduce risks such as:

• Wind damage from unsecured outdoor furniture 
• Water intrusion from clogged drains or poor drainage 
• HVAC failures during hot summer months 
• Pest or moisture issues in unattended homes 
• Damage caused by loose exterior items during storms
   

A structured preparation process ensures the property is secured before hurricane season begins.

HAPM provides a structured property preparation service before homeowners leave for the season.

Services may include:

• Securing outdoor furniture and loose items 
• Inspecting doors, windows, and shutters 
• Checking exterior drainage and vulnerable areas 
• Visual inspection of roof and exterior conditions 
• Verifying exterior lighting and security features
   

• HVAC operational check 
• Water system inspection 
• Refrigerator and appliance checks 
• Electrical system visual review
   

• Basic visual inspection for leaks or moisture 
• Confirming doors and windows are secured 
• Checking sinks, toilets, and water connections
   

• Identifying items that may require securing before storms 
• Preparing the property for hurricane season conditions

Many seasonal residents choose to schedule a complete home closing visit before leaving for the summer.

This service ensures the property is properly prepared for vacancy and includes a comprehensive property walkthrough.

After storm preparation is completed, many homeowners choose to continue with our Home Watch and Estate Assurance Plan (EAP) services.

This program provides:

• Regular property inspections while you are away 
• Monitoring of key home systems 
• Vendor coordination when needed 
• Reporting of any issues that arise
   

This allows homeowners to maintain peace of mind knowing their property is being monitored while they are out of state.

Many seasonal residents schedule storm preparation before departing after Easter and before hurricane season begins.

Availability is limited during the seasonal departure period.
