FORT MYERS, Fla., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Economic Recovery Center and Blossom Construction announce the 5 Point Hurricane Inspection for Southwest Florida residents and businesses to safeguard their properties before the next storm strikes.

The '5-Point Hurricane Inspection' can save policy owners up to 40% on insurance by addressing five critical areas:

• Windows
• Doors
• Exterior Components (Gutters/ Soffits)
• HVAC
• Structural Roof Connection and Attachment

The '5-Point Hurricane Inspection,' performed by a certified general contractor, is a comprehensive inspection providing essential documentation, including a Wind Mitigation Certificate, which can save homeowners thousands on their insurance premiums. The cost for the full inspection on an average home, including the certificate, starts at $395. Slots are limited and only for residents and businesses in Lee, Collier, and Charlotte Counties on a first-come, first-served basis.

"Hurricane Ian was devastating for our community, and too many families and businesses were caught unprepared," said Chase Henderson, President of the Economic Recovery Center. "We can't allow the same mistakes to happen again. A simple inspection today can prevent hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage when the next storm strikes."

A tropical storm named Erin has just formed in the eastern tropical Atlantic and is expected to strengthen into the first hurricane of 2025 within days. This is a stark reminder that hurricane season is here, and it only takes one storm to cause catastrophic damage. Experts are predicting an above-normal hurricane season, with as many as 19 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and up to 5 major hurricanes.

"The reality is that hurricane-force winds can turn small vulnerabilities - an unsealed window, a weak door, a loose roof connection - into major damage in seconds," said Nathalie Monfiston, General Contractor, and owner of Blossom Construction. "The average insurance claim for hurricane damage can exceed $100,000, and recovery can take months or even years. Our 5-Point Hurricane Inspection is designed to identify and document these vulnerabilities before it's too late."

Slots are limited. Schedule your 5-Point Hurricane Inspection and take a proactive step in protecting your home, your family, and your peace of mind before the next storm hits. Visit www.economicrecoverycenter.com/5-point-inspection
