Retrofitting a Boca Raton home for storm season usually starts with the windows, and for good reason. Roof and door upgrades matter, but the glazed openings represent the largest continuous area of vulnerable envelope on a typical single-family build.
Impact glass versus shutters
Shutters protect an opening only while they are closed and correctly fastened. Impact units protect it permanently, including the afternoon nobody is home to prepare — which is the scenario that actually costs people their roof.
Insurance and wind mitigation
A wind mitigation inspection after a full opening-protection upgrade often moves the premium enough to matter. Ask for the mitigation form to be completed once the work passes, and keep the product approval paperwork with it.
