Your project file
Keep the whole storm-upgrade process in one place.
A hurricane-hardening project is not just a contractor quote. It can include inspection notes, recommended improvements, product details, permits, photos, invoices, final inspection steps, insurer responses, and timing decisions.
Your project file gives you one organized place to track what happened, what is missing, and what should happen next.
Start with the quick check. We only ask for documents when they are useful for your stage.
