Hurricane Season Is Here…Are You Ready?

Written by admin on June 7, 2016 at 5:56 PM.

The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season is upon us and, according to weather.com, “this hurricane season is expected to be the most active since 2012…A total of 14 named storms, eight hurricanes and three major hurricanes are forecast during the coming season.” This year’s hurricane season began officially on June 1, 2016, and will last through to the end of November.

Hurricanes are intense storms that are capable of causing massive damage and widespread devastation. Hurricanes are well-known to be both life-threatening as well as hazardous to commercial and residential properties that are in the path of the storm. There are various types of damage that can occur during a hurricane in South Florida, most common is debris breaking windows and water fills a property. Although, hurricanes also cause damage by flooding, storm surge, high winds, tornadoes, and more. Furthermore, effects from a hurricane can be seen both in coastal and inland areas.

Being prepared is the most reliable protection that you have against the dangers of a hurricane. It is very important that you know the difference between the various threat levels so that you are able to plan accordingly.

Worked with Stellar on a project involving a kitchen flood. They were always there to help & answer all the questions I had – and they reached a fair settlement with my insurance for me. I probably wouldn’t have gotten half of what I did without them! I’d easily recommend them to anyone needing a Public Adjuster.

Glad I hired them. Stellar Public Adjusting assisted in my water damage claim in my condo from my neighbors pipe. They really know there stuff when it comes to claims. They obtained way more than my insurance company initially offered. A very professional company.

David has done multiple claims for our real estate company, as well as for myself and friends. Always exceeds expectations. Highly reliable, and completely on top of his game. Highly recommended.

Marc C., Miami, FL

I have full confidence in the team at Stellar and do not recommend that anyone file an insurance claim without them. The insurance company is not on your side and they are not a good neighbor.

Stellar is on your side and they are in the neighborhood. Call them immediately when damage happens.
