Hometown Contractors is an Approved My Safe Florida Home Contractor

Is your home ready for hurricane season? The My Safe Florida Home program provides homeowners with access to state-approved inspections to identify damage-prone areas of the home. With this information, the homeowner can make improvements that will help protect their home from damage related to hurricane-force winds and rains. State grants helps to cover the cost of these remodels, so that homeowners have greater access to the upgrades that their home needs.

At Hometown Contractors, we are proud to be one of the few home remodeling companies in Florida that are approved to conduct work for the My Safe Florida Home program. The process begins by contacting us for a professional home inspection, then steps can be taken toward receiving program approval.
