Before season
Review insurance documents, photos, contractor contacts, boat plans, shutters/protection, dock items, and drainage.
Signature authority feature
Merritt Island waterfront hurricane preparation guide for homeowners.
Waterfront homes need storm plans for boats, lifts, docks, outdoor spaces, documents, drainage, and post-storm review.
When a storm is possible
Secure outdoor items, follow official guidance, protect documents, address boats/lifts according to professional recommendations, and avoid last-minute assumptions.
After the storm
Document conditions safely, check drainage, dock, lift, seawall, roof, windows, and exterior areas before making repairs.
Carrie’s Waterfront Tip
Before judging a waterfront home, separate the view, the water access, the dock setup, the seawall condition, and the daily lifestyle. A home can be distinctive and still need deeper waterfront due diligence.
