Hurricane Preparation & Post-Storm Services for Central Florida Homes

Hurricane season in Florida is unpredictable — but getting your home storm-ready doesn’t have to be. At Task-Smart, we help homeowners in Davenport, Haines City, and Polk County prepare for storms and recover afterward with affordable, practical handyman services. From pre-season prep to post-storm repairs, we’ve got your home covered.

Pricing
Most hurricane preparation and post-storm services typically range between $125 – $450, depending on the size of your home, number of shutters, and scope of work.

  • Prep visits may include shutter hardware installation, sealing, securing outdoor fixtures, and gutter clearing.

  • Post-storm visits often cover fence & screen repairs, fixture reinstallation, and safety checks.

  • Book early in spring to secure your preferred hurricane prep date before demand spikes.
