1. How to Prepare Your Carillon Lakes
Fl Home for Storm Season

2. How to prepare your Carillon Lakes Fl home
for storm season.
It’s that time of year to get ready for storm
season in Florida. You’ll never when or how
strong a storm would be, so it’s better to
prepare as early as possible.
Here are some tips how to prepare your
Carillon Lakes home for hurricane season:

3. 1. Take a walk around your home
Take a walk around your home and look for
anything that is damaged or could get damaged
in a storm. Make sure the eaves are up in place
and not hanging down. Check the fascia for
damage. If it’s loose, repair it. Check for loose
nails as they tend to pull out as they expand
and contract with the changes in temperature.

4. 2. Check your windows and screen
enclosures for damage.
Never underestimate a small tear as this can turn
into a bigger problem during strong winds. Screens
take a beating from the sun and need to replaced
every few years. One way to check the condition of
your screen is to look closely and see if there are
spots that are lighter in color compared to the rest
of the screen. This means that the screen is
getting thin and needs replacement.

5. 3. Check the trees.
Remove dead limbs and trim them back away from
your home. Carillon Lakes community require that
trees be maintained and kept trimmed from the homes
and sidewalks at all times as a safety measure. Flying
fronds from the cabbage palm can fly through the air
and cause damage during storms. If you have a very
high tree that you cannot reach with a pole trimmer,
call a professional tree trimming company.

6. Along with getting ready for hurricane
season, it’s also the best time to spruce
up your Carillon Lakes home for sale as
you make these simple repairs and
improvements for your home.
