Protect Your Home and Your Wallet with a 5-Point Hurricane Inspection

FORT MYERS, Fla., Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Economic Recovery Center, in partnership with Blossom Construction, announces the 5-Point Hurricane Inspection - a tailored service for Southwest Florida homeowners who want to protect high-value properties and safeguard long-term investments before the next storm season.

The 5-Point Hurricane Inspection focuses on five structural and system areas that have the greatest impact on minimizing storm damage and preserving property value:

• Windows – including impact-rated and architecturally distinctive designs
• Doors – ensuring secure, reinforced entry points
• Exterior Components (Gutters/Soffits) – protecting finishes and preventing water intrusion
• HVAC – maintaining climate control and air quality during post-storm recovery
• Structural Roof Connection and Attachment – fortifying the core of the building against high winds

Performed by a certified general contractor with experience in high-end construction and storm resilience. This inspection provides critical documentation, including a Wind Mitigation Certificate, a document that can put real money back in your pocket through annual insurance savings.

"Hurricane-force winds can turn a minor flaw - a compromised seal, a weakened door frame, or a loose roof connector - into severe structural damage within moments," said Nathalie Monfiston, General Contractor and owner of Blossom Construction. "A thorough pre-season inspection allows property owners to act on identified risks immediately, reducing the potential for prolonged recovery and escalating costs."

At a starting cost of $395, the inspection is a modest investment compared to the potential cost of storm repairs - often exceeding $100,000 for well-appointed homes and commercial spaces. Inspection slots are extremely limited and reserved for residents and business owners in Lee, Collier, and Charlotte Counties on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hurricane Erin, the first named hurricane of the 2025 season, has officially formed in the eastern tropical Atlantic. While current forecasts suggest it will not make landfall in Florida, its rapid development is a powerful reminder that dangerous storms can emerge and intensify with little warning. Hurricane season has only just begun, yet experts' projections call for as many as 19 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and up to 5 classified as major hurricanes. It only takes one direct hit to cause catastrophic damage, and history has shown that the storms we least expect often have the most devastating impact.

"Preparedness isn't just about boarding up windows - it's about protecting the assets you've worked a lifetime to build," said Chase Henderson, President of the Economic Recovery Center. "For homes and properties, especially ones of substantial value, a proactive inspection can prevent unnecessary loss and ensure a smoother claims process."

Slots are limited. Schedule your 5-Point Hurricane Inspection and take a proactive step in protecting your home, your family, and your peace of mind before the next storm hits. Visit www.economicrecoverycenter.com/5-point-inspection.
