Storm panels and frames may not be able to be installed for some window openings. If storm panel frames are not possible, prepare to secure plywood directly to the window frames. This saves time when a hurricane watch is issued.

• Cut the plywood to fit at least six inches around the window frame.

• Make sure there are at least two inches from the edge of the window pane to the outer edge of the exterior wall to prevent damaging the window when the plywood is installed.

• Special clips that fasten to the window frame or brick veneer can be used to secure the plywood to the exterior wall.

• When a hurricane watch is issued, secure the plywood using clips or by drilling screws 18 inches apart around the plywood perimeter.

So make sure the windows are sealed, caulked and/or weather stripped too. Replace gravel landscaping material with shredded bark or other soft material. Cut weak and dead branches to at least five feet away from the house. Put lawn furniture and ornaments inside when there is a hurricane watch.

Vinyl siding is generally taken for granted as being a purely functional aspect of the home. While it is true that vinyl siding provides a vital role in protecting the home from storm damage and age, vinyl siding can also be a serious aesthetic factor. Typically, vinyl siding will figure into the home’s appeal in a negative way, that is, it is only really noticed once it has fallen into disrepair. But this is all the more reason to take care of your vinyl siding and make sure it is clean and in good condition. Consider it a compliment if you can go an extended period of time without anyone mentioning the condition of your vinyl siding.
