Salty Fox Services offers specialized demolition and clean-out solutions to secure Wilmington properties before hurricane season, ensuring peace of mind and safety.
Preparing your Wilmington property for hurricane season is crucial to minimizing potential damage as storms roll through. From June to November, the Cape Fear region braces for high winds and heavy rains. Taking proactive steps now can save you headaches later. We at Salty Fox Services specialize in pre-storm preparations, ensuring your property is secured and ready.
Hurricane season property preparation in Wilmington
Taking the time to prepare your property before a hurricane hits can make all the difference. Our services can help you tackle the big tasks that prevent small issues from becoming big problems.
Remove dead trees and limbs. Dead or weak trees can easily be uprooted or snapped during a storm, causing significant damage to your home or vehicles. Let us handle the removal to keep your property safe.
Clear loose debris and junk. Piles of debris or junk present a risk of becoming dangerous projectiles in high winds. We can clean these up quickly and efficiently.
Tear down failing sheds/carports. Structures that are already on their last legs are vulnerable to collapse. We knock it down, haul it out, and clean it up, ensuring your yard is safe from storm surprises.
Clean out crawlspaces. Clearing crawlspaces reduces the risk of water damage and mold growth after heavy rains.
The cost of pre-storm preparation
Our pricing is competitive and straightforward. Here’s how we break it down:
Light selective demolition of failing structures ranges from $2.50 to $3.75 per square foot. Whether it’s a shed or a carport, we price based on the size and complexity of the job.
Junk and debris removal is priced by load: $249 for a quarter load, up to $699 for a full load. This is perfect for clearing out potential projectiles.
Labor costs are $45 per hour for a technician and $57 per hour for a supervisor if additional hands are needed for detailed cleanouts.
